Nude With Boots
([Ipecac])
The Melvins teamed up with the Big Business guys again to construct another batch of songs that should get the fanbase excited once more. “The Kicking Machine” opens with monstrous, “War Pigs”-like riffing which pays tribute to one of their biggest influences. There are traditional rock songs here like “Suicide in Progress,” slower, doom songs like “Dog Island” and “The Savage Hippy” for the longtime fans. “The Stupid Creep” could be their experimental tune, adding mid-tempo punk rhythms to odd truck driver-like humored lyrics. You never know what to expect from the Melvins. But one thing is for sure — there aren’t many dull moments on this one.
