![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don’t get me wrong, I love the Melvins, I just didn’t get around to it alright? More to the point, this album (released in ‘92) is pretty much perfect and stands at the foundation of what we now know as (drone-)doom, from the funereal, ten minute amplifier worship of opener ‘Hung Bunny’, through the mammoth Alice Cooper and Flipper covers and the characteristically Buzzofied melodicrush of ‘With Teeth’… oh and for added omg factor, Joe Preston (aka bass on every worthwhile sludge/doom/drone/woman-repelling record ever) is totally on this album and his influence on the sound cannot be overstated. Somehow, I hadn’t heard this record till yesterday and I can’t even begin to express the overwhelming regret that gripped me as the realisation of a life wasted sunk in… the hazy, bro ass times I should’ve had to this album instead of earnestly attempting to slog through the flabby, over-indulgent DOO)))M excesses of Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine (pre-Earth nonsense) and like… Ahab (nautically themed metal that isn’t Leviathan), so naturally I’ve spent the better part of today hating myself for not having heard this earlier. ![]()
