Everything up until Houdini was great, and half of Stag is really cool.

Have you heard (A) Senile Animal?

Fantastic album - their best IMO

That was the album that finally converted me. Good shit.

Sometimes I really like (A) Senile Animal and sometimes I really don't. I go through phases with it and it's the only album that does this to me. It MUST be special.

That said...

I'd like to see the Melvins with just Dale on drums. I've seen them twice now with the Big Business guys and I'd never seen them as a three-piece. The dual drumming is amazing, spectacular and extraordinary and fantastic even, wonderful and penetrating, but I'd like to see them with just Kroger. Maybe they'd do that, just for me.

I've watched 7 pages of this thread happen while keeping my damn fool yap shut...

But man, I came to the conclusion some 10-12 years ago that there's two kindsa people in the world: Those that get the Melvins and those that don't.

Granted, getting the Melvins isn't exactly a rocket science, but the ones that don't just can't seem to get past the abrasion, maybe just because they want easy hooks played mid-tempo. Or something.

I had one friend say, "oh yeah, I saw them with Nirvana and they sssuuucckked." Needless to say, I lost a great deal of respect for this individual. He was once a kid I'd maybe entertained playing music and being in a band with. That little discussion ended that. It sorta became a default, unspoken rule of mine after awhile...I maybe don't want to be in a band that sounds like the Melvins, or does what the Melvins do, but if somebody doesn't appreciate the Melvins then we will never be on the same page musically.

Melvins. Not Crap. I don't know what more to say.

I don't know anything past Stoner Witch though...I know most of the stuff that comes before that album.

Houdini is pre-Stoner Witch, right?

NOT CRAP.

The Maggot is possibly my fav. i'd take these three over the new one too.

Given that no one lasts long in the Melvins besides Dale Crover and King Buzzo, I think you will eventually get your wish.
