Mmmm, a sweet-sweet personal favourite, the Melvins' latest effort, (a) Senile Animal. The Melvins core (Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover), spiced up with the two members of Big Business - sweet-sweet heaviness! To be honest, Big Business always sounded like a Melvins tribute band, so basically we get a doubled Melvins. Something I can live with.
This album rocks from the first track to the last. I get shivers every time I hear the opening double-drumming of "Civilized Worm" or the ass-kicking riff of "The Talking Horse". The Melvins may be ancient, but you know, weirdness is like wine... It only gets better with age.
(I don't like wine. Whatever. I like the Melvins. And (a) Senile Animal might just be their best work)
