Melvins – (A) Senile Animal – Review

November 10, 2006

Really heavy rock; not metal, even as they absorbed that dynamic/language/attack as tots/post-tots as Black Flag rung their bell and called’m home to dinner.

We Reach – The Music of the Melvins – Review

March 17, 2006

The bands here lean on the whomp! Crunch! Grrr!, eng? Crunch! side of things; and it works as a piece.

Jello Biafra with the Melvins – Sieg Howdy! – Review

March 17, 2006

Funny how normative-rockist-duhish this is. Like the riff from Kiss’ “God of Thunder” or Deep Purple’s “Highway Star” hijacked by Rammstein and Jello-ized.

Melvins – 26 Songs – Review

October 1, 2003

Recorded in 1986, it shows the band at its most heavy and least experimental. For fans who’ve tired of the band’s increasingly experimental and spotty output.

Melvins – Salad of a Thousand Delights – Review

July 23, 2003

A DVD reissue of a damn-near-impossible-to-find VHS release. This one captures The Melvins in a tiny ass club in Olympia in 1991.

Melvins – Hostile Ambient Takeover – Review

June 28, 2002

Hostile Ambient Takeover marries the band’s experimental, almost arty tendencies with some of their heaviest grooves and sludgiest riffs.

Terror Firmer Soundtrack – Review

June 4, 2001

It’s Troma, so unless you rent only from Blockbuster, you know this is some sexy, gross, weird and wild shit. Get this soundtrack cuz every band is a someone.

Melvins – Electroretard – Review

June 3, 2001

An odds’n’sodser from the oddest of noiseniks, Electroretard is a 42-minute sliderule rock ride through noise, covers, and remakes of old classicks.
