专辑介绍

by Ned Raggett

With

Black

in on bass and the band relocated to San Francisco, the Melvins started, in a subtle way, exploring and developing their already-trademark sound further. The genre-dipping and out-of-nowhere efforts of later years were still some distance off, to be sure, but moments like the vocal/drum-only part on &Oven& and the needle-thin feedback treatment punctuating &Revulsion/We Reach& (along with occasional chimes) show more chances already being taken.

Osbourne

's tribute to

Ozzy

reaches new heights throughout -- opening track &Vile& in particular blends that and the running

Gene Simmons

fascination into a twisted monster, insistent, unnerving, and threatening all at once. &Green Honey& is another great, one of the quicker songs (at least comparatively speaking) going off as a slightly echo-shrouded

Osbourne

fires off a few quick rambles.

Crover

once again is the band's not secret weapon, as the clattering start of &Agonizer& and the subtle but spot-on tempo shifts on &Claude& make clear.

Black

's bass playing is steady-as-it-goes enough not to get in the way of anything, and she and

Crover

make enough bedrock thump for

Osbourne

to let loose with both his pipes and his guitar. Whether it's the creepily calm start of &Let God Be Your Gardener,& plucking rather than bulldozing forward for once, or the grinding do-not-pass-go attack of &Raise a Paw,& Ozma is out for blood and gets it. Killer song titles this time out include &Ever Since My Accident& and &Cranky Messiah.& The random what-the-hell moment is right at the end, though -- &Candy-O,& a cover of the

Cars

song that shouldn't work but actually does the business. Also fun -- consider the lead-guitar melody of &Love Thing& and how it oddly resembles

Pearl Jam

's breakthrough hit &Alive& from a few years later.
