Our Take
Our Take
The Melvins have always been pioneers of the all things weird and wonderful in the world of grunge, and their latest album "Five Legged Dog" is no exception. This 23-track behemoth is a wild, sprawling journey through the unconventional minds of Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover.
From the opening track "Freak Puke" to the closing epic "Judy Is a Punk," the Melvins take us on a rollercoaster of sonic experimentation. The band's trademark heavy riffs and sludgy bass lines are present, but there's also an unexpected whimsicality to the album. Songs like "Squidbillies Theme" and "Dog Island" showcase the Melvins' bizarre sense of humour and refusal to take themselves too seriously.
The production on "Five Legged Dog" is intentionally raw and gritty, giving the album a sense of immediacy and urgency. Osborne's vocals are as snarling and defiant as ever, while Crover's drumming is consistently tight and powerful. The addition of experimental electronics and odd time signatures only add to the album's off-kilter charm.
Overall, "Five Legged Dog" is a challenging and enigmatic listen, but it's also incredibly rewarding for those willing to dive headfirst into the Melvins' twisted world. It may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate the band's unique brand of sonic mayhem, this album is a must-listen.

About the artist
Melvins
MELVINS, the iconic American rock band hailing from Washington State, have been causing a ruckus in the music scene since the early 1980s. Led by the enigmatic Buzz Osborne, known for his wild shock of hair and piercing vocals, and accompanied by the thunderous drumming of Dale Crover, this duo has created a sound that is as heavy as it is mesmerizing. With a discography that spans over three decades, MELVINS have consistently pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a rock band. From their early, gritty releases like "Gluey Porch Treatments" to their more experimental albums such as "Stoner Witch," the band has never shied away from trying new things and challenging their audience. One thing that sets MELVINS apart from their peers is their ever-changing lineup, with a revolving door of bassists and additional members keeping things fresh and interesting. This constant evolution has led to a sound that is as unpredictable as it is powerful, with each new release offering a different take on the band's signature sludgy rock sound. Despite their ferocious onstage presence, MELVINS have a playful sense of humour that shines through in their music. Whether it's their quirky album titles or their tongue-in-cheek lyrics, the band knows how to have fun while still delivering hard-hitting music. In a world that is constantly evolving, MELVINS remain a constant force in the world of rock music. With their unapologetically heavy sound and their fearless approach to experimentation, this band shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Keep an eye on MELVINS, because you never know what they'll do next.
