Free Music Notes for Nude With Boots
Free Music Review: Melvins have never been better
Hit: 5 Stars
The newest Melvins release, Nude With Boots is damn good.
In 2006, the Melvins added the rhythm section of Coady Willis on drums and Jared Warren on bass and vocals with the release of A Senile Animal. This rhythm section along with Jared's contribution to vocals was a great addition to the Melvins sound. It was a ballsy and raw record but at the same time, the most precise and focused Melvins record I have ever heard. I saw them on that tour before I heard the album and was blown away!
Nude With Boots is an extension of A Senile Animal that refines their sound even further. It has some fine playing, and songs covering a variety of styles without getting too weird.
I have liked the Melvins for a long time but on most of their releases, I wish there was a little less experimental or ambient type stuff. The songs on the new disc are hard rocking, cohesive and cool. Don't worry old Melvins fans, even being a little less weird, it is still undeniably a Melvins record. Nobody sounds like them. I personally hope they keep pushing in this direction.
Free Music Review: this review is very biased
Hit: 5 Stars
I might as well get it out of the way, Melvins are my absolute favorite band and I love everything they have put out including Colossus of Destiny so this review is very biased. On Nude With Boots, the band shows they continue to get better as the years go by. Since the addition of Jared and Coady from Big Business in 2006, the band's sound as gotten much fuller and the guys from BB seem to bring their own influence to the Melvins sound. Some people have mentioned that this album sounds almost too "radio friendly", but I think that is just Buzzo doing whatever the hell he feels like as he has always done. I love all the songs on NWB including the more radio friendly tunes. I also really dig 'Dies Iraea' which is their take on the song from the beginning of 'The Shining'. The band do a great job with this song and it is easy for me to imagine this version at the beginning of the movie instead. Now, since I really suck at writing reviews, I am leaving.

Hit: 5 Stars
i am a huge Melvins fan, and those like me have seen them go through different incarnations (and bass players). this line-up of original members King Buzzo and Dale Crover along with the fellas from Big Business is hard rocking, vocally and harmonically intriguing, but still the Melvins. i have my list of favorite Melvins' albums, and this one ranks up at the top - some of their best work. they have always been the band (like mr. bungle) that you either get or you don't - they have always done "their own thing", so it's often difficult to turn friends on to their music. this is one of their albums that your friends and first-time Melvins listeners might actually GET.Free Music Review: The Melvins album I've been waiting for.
Hit: 5 Stars
Ah, it's so good to listen to this album. I've been listening to the Melvins for about 11 years now after seeing them at a local club called Liberty Lunch (RIP). This thing will get some serious play time in your music player of choice.
Reminds me of Stag and Stoner Witch. Wonderful stuff. Get it now. You won't be disappointed.
Free Music Review: hahahaha awesome yet again
Hit: 5 Stars
There's a song on this album called DOG ISLAND. DOG ISLAND. FIVE STARS.
The production is great but you really have to see them perform it live (with two drummers) to feel the album as intended. They've done it once again, the Melvins feel fresh and new but will not disappoint longtime fans. Long live King Buzzo.
