Well, this is defineately NOT for everyone. This may even be the weirdest MELVINS Cd yet, and that's sayin' somethin'. If you haven't read about it yet, the Cd is a live recording from a couple of years ago. They were playing two sets that night, and this is the first set. It consits of about 50 minutes of feedback and sampled voices (and I think I heard God fart) followed by a crushing blast through the classic "Eye Flys" from Gluey Porch Treatments.
I suggest enjoying this the way I did. Take a shower, streach out and relax. Engage in yr favorite mental stimulant. Lay down on the floor with yr eyes closed. Play the Cd loudly (not too loud, you'll need yr hearing) through headphones. Or fuck the headphones and piss off the neighbors, you need this more that they need peace and quiet. Let yr mind wander to the music.
If you were hoping for the MELVINS trademark sludge/grunge?/metal?/punk?/noise rockin' (and why wouldn't you be?) it ain't here (except for the "Eye Flys" bit). You should try Houdini, Bullhead, The Maggot, Lysol or the newly reissued Gluey Porch Treatments. They will leave big ol' footprints on yr booty.
You should be warned that this will disc require a very opened mind. Some fans of the band mistake this and their other more "out there" stuff (like Prick or Electroretard) for some kind in-joke or tossed-off crap. Trust me, there is music here. Very rewarding music at that, but it is not gonna jump right out at you. You must challenge yrself to find it. When you do though, you'll love it like you love screamin' metal and dirty punk. I promise.
