Nice try on the one-up out of nothing. Fucking kids. I didn’t know recognizing a fairly unimportant band means you have a sense of history. Nice try on the one-up out of nothing. Fucking kids.

I love both Maiden and the Melvins. If you ever saw the Melvins live, you'd be a believer. No one pounds the drums like Crover, and I've seen him play with Lombardo.

I would venture to offer the analogy that listening to only one kind of music for your entire life must be something like eating the exact same thing for every meal your entire life -- I imagine even steak would get old after a while. But to each their own and I have more evidence than not from personal experience that most people seem to think it's reasonable to listen to the same thing all the time. I guess you win.

Makes for a really boring musician. But for your average listener, 100% Okey dokey. It’s not so bad for a regular music lover to listen to one genre of music, but not for a musician to.

They have over 25+ albums out and each album is very different. Basically, their earlier work is more heavy sludge, while the middle years are more metal/grunge, while the later experimental and hard rock. It is very hard if not impossible to categorizes the Melvins. . Their music is so diverse over the 26 years they been a band, that it is hard to comprehend from just 10 songs.

They played live with Kiss, Tool, and did a a tour will Jello Biafra. So it is no surprise that Dale would play on this record. BTW, Dale use to play in a Iron Maiden cover band before the Melvins. the Melvins have always done their own thing, and played by their own rules.

Some artists go even further and apply their broad tastes to the music they make." THIS. As a matter of fact, that's just about the most diplomatic way I've ever heard that sentiment expressed. Sure beats my usual expletive-ridden character assassinations against elitist hipsters with their heads up their asses, but to be fair to myself something about hearing fuckwits complain "BUT THAT'S NOT METAL" triggers in me a knee-jerk reaction to lock and load. The fact is, most of the best artists of all genres are the ones who love music in just about every way it's possible to compose and perform it and don't limit themselves in their tastes and interests, so I'm not surprised when they push back at so-called fans who would try. And to conclude (back on topic), I will say that it doesn't surprise me that any member of The Melvins would eschew conformity, to include collaborating with an indie rocker; after all, that's pretty much what they do as a matter of course. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I might check it out. “Even if you’re one of those people who only listen to metal, hardcore, or other such heavy music styles, you have to concede the fact that many of the musicians you love do not share that singular devotion to one genre.

None of them particularly impressed me. It sounded like grunge played more slowly. Whether or not this song "Boris" was one of them I cannot say. Just not my thing...but my thing is Iron Maiden and I'm willing to bet they don't share a lot of their fan base. To be honest, I’ve heard maybe 10 Melvins songs in my entire life.

Dinosaur Jr. Sebadoh, and the Melvins all fall into a sort of fringe category for people who enjoy music which resides outside of normal barriers. I wouldn't be surprised if former members of Guided By Voices have guest spots on this album. Its just weird music for weird people...not that there is anything remotely wrong with that.
