dialoguefromamovie Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 "Houdini" is probably the best one to start with. I'm also pretty partial to "Gluey Porch Treatments". Other than that, I'm not too familiar with their recorded material. Great live show, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vodkablast Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 definitely Houdini. Then, I would say, Stoner Witch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebdeath Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i love senile animal. houdini as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Bullhead and Houdini are probably the best ones to start with. Their music style changes from time to time, as some stuff can be the typical melvinish style rock, and other albums are experiemental. I would suggest after the 1st 2 suggested you randomly pick b/w one old album and one newer album, and work your way to the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingbuzzo Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Like other said, pick up "Houdini" first. It's the most similar to the two newest releases. After that I'd go with "Hostile Ambient Takeover" because it shows a lot of what they can do. I'm really partial to "Lysol" but some people are turned off by the single track format.

And that's coming from King Buzzo himself! Like others said, I'd start with Houdini. I definitely like their newer stuff better than their old sludge-y stuff that sounds like an even slower version of "My War", side 2.

seafoamgreen Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'll go against the grain here and say "Stag." I love the two before that one ("Houdini" and "Stoner Witch"), but "Stag" remains my favorite. Most Melvins records are about 80% rock and 20% skippable in my opinion. "Honkey" reverses those numbers, though the tracks that rock on that one rock pretty damn hard. Stay away from "Prick" and the solo records to begin with, though. Just throwin' that out there.

What are you talking about? King Buzzo's "Skeeter" is fucking awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Isn't that more a Dave Grohl solo song? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
