i just got Houdini by the Melvins and i fucking love it
 

wow. this is such a great album. "Hag Me" is so good that i want to kill myself. "Hooch" is one of the best album openers i've ever heard.

I got it because of the Kurt Cobain connection (hey I'm not the only one) and yeah it's pretty good. I haven't listened to it in quite awhile.

"Houdini" is an excellent album. It's interesting to hear the 1983 demos of them playing "Set Me Straight". It just shows you that good bands can always pull something old out of the hat, & still have it sound relevent.

-Suggestion-
If you don't already have it, get "Pigs Of The Roman Empire",
by The Melvins+Lustmord. It features Adam Jones on guitar.
& of course Buzz playing every instrument he can get his hands on.

Good Album. My favorite song on it is Pearl Bomb. The first time I heard it I thought there was something wrong with the CD.

Hell yeah man, that is some serious milk.

yeah i have to agree its a gret album, love the cover too very innocent until you put it on! you should get "stoner witch" next

i'm still super stuck on bullhead because that's the perfect album. i mean, i can't move forward with the melvins because bullhead is so fucking good!!!

i mean boris, c'mon!!!!!!

"houdini" is great
"stoner witch" broke my headphones.

Right on!, Boris is some tune

BULLHEAD RULES!!!!!
OZMA RULES!!!


I'm crawling! On my belly crawling!!!!


and off of bullhead
OH NO I forgot to get my pills
I got to go downtown!

Pick up Stag if you can ever find it. It's pure gold from start to finish.

I was obsessed with that album when I first bought it.

Houdini is the only thing I've heard by the Melvins and I don't think that much of it. I listened to iti maybe once or twice through and I was never impressed...or really that entertained.

if you want the REAL DEAL melvins

get

OZMA



BULLHEAD



KING BUZZO

i dont know why. but i really wasn't into this cd. it's all ive heard by the melvins. i guess it left a bad impression. but i'm gonna try and listen to houdini

i used to be like that too. i used to listen to melvins' songs and i was always like "what's the big deal, they are just boring"; any era melvins, they all sounded lame. then i downloaded bullhead (i know, shame on me) and thought it was meh, then listened to it for like three times and it finally sunk in. and by "sunk in" i mean getting hit by a steel baseball bat on the back of my head. the melvins are a grower band, you have to be patient; at least that's how it happened to me.

i also have mangled demos and stoner witch and, while i liked the demos a lot because i like punk like what they played there, i can't seem to get into stoner witch because i always get an urge to listen to bullhead instead.

Houdini is a great album!

I just bought Ozma and I like it so far but I'm sure I'll like it a lot more after a couple more spins. Also check out Gluey Porch Treatments, another bitchin album. I read in a Dale Crover interview from a while back where he said something about how playing the songs on G.P.T. is similar to doing calculus equations. I can see what he means. Or hear what he means. tarhahrhrharharharhahrrhahrahrar. etc.

OZMA, BuLLHEAD, LYSOL, HOUDINI and STONER WITCH is a great selection of Melvins records (the early ones released on Boner records:D ). But those will satisfy your ears for some time.

i was hooked the first time i listened to stoner witch. that album is fucking brilliant. so much low end...

that album rocks, as much as bullhead !
get Gluey Porch Treatments, thats just wild. Plus points for their Green River cover "Leech" !
