it seems mudhoney have grown up. this band used to be content to kick out the 3 chords and rock. one of the pinnacle live bands of the nineties, THEY put on a rock show. this album seems mature due to the fact that they have experimented with different distortion sounds. steve turner cranks out some wicked good riffs and with a little diversity (the country meets rock of "real low vibe" is aamzing) this album is like punk meets grunge meets the blues (maybe grunge and stevie ray vaughn?)
tis a shame americans are so closed minded to music. we seem to be content to be force fed our music. this album is great and needs to be heard. forget boy bands and jennifer lopez. this is the real deal.

Although it's been 2 and a half years since this album was released, it is still in heavy rotation in my cd player. Mudhoney would have to be one of the most rocking bands of all time and THT is no exception. From start to finish, this album oozes the extreme form of rock n roll that is mudhoney. Mark's screaming vocals that never fail to get the attention of all who hear. Steve's bluesy guitar who's fuzz is enough to make a sheep jealous. Matt's steady sludgy bass playing and lastly, Dan's Unconventional thunderously amaziningly original drumming which never ceases to amaze me. Mudhoney, like a fine wine, get better and better with age. Mudhoney will be the Iggy Pop of their generation. Rocking well into their 50's (maybe even longer! we can all hope)

i see this as the transition album between old mudhoney and new mudhoney. half the songs are heavier, thicker, and more like the 1989 mudhoney. the rest of the songs are faster, poppier, like the new.
the songs that stood out to me were
1) A Thousand Forms of Mind
5) Poisoned Water (Which is played live in the Chris Farley/David Spade film "Black Sheep")
12) Beneath the Valley of the Underdog

I much prefer the older Mudhoney, but I would still recommend this album to someone looking to build their Mudhoney collection, but only after you've bought Superfuzz Bigmuff and EGBDF.

I have been waiting for a long time to hear new MUDHONEY!!! It has been worth the wait. From the opening hard sound on " A Thousand Forms..." you know your gona be Knocked On The Floor!!! The sound is put together in the most pefect way. The production is KEY! You must hear for yourself. If you have never heard Of the Mud...This would be a great place to start.

This album is amazing. For starters, the album is properly produced with a famous producer and a big budget. This was to be Mudhoney's commercial breakthrough- the album was to make Mudhoney a great rock band(not just a grunge one) but it didn't happen and a year after this was released the band were dropped by Reprise records. The criminally poor sales of this album were caused not least by the accusations by critics and fans that this album was a sellout from the bands old and dreaded grunge label into more classically rotated rock. This is by no means their most hardcore album it is a mature, postgrunge album and Mudhoneys last ditch attempt to prevent themselves dying with grunge- and they should not have died because forget about grunge for a moment, this is one of the finest rock'n'roll albums I have ever heard.
Steve Turners' guitar riffs and solo's are brilliant I never knew he could play the guitar so good- his unmistakable country-rock style riff on 'Real Low Vibe' later became the main theme for a budweiser beer advertisement on television. It's a pity more people bought the beer than this album. The band still show their grunge roots are still in tact with the climatic 'I have to laugh'. Although it's the only 100% 'grunge' song on the album it is Mudhoney's best ever grunge song- it blew my mind the first time I heard it and it continues to do so Mark Arm's screeching is terrific- this is a very strong performance vocally and lyrically from Arm. Just listen to 'Move with the wind', what cool lyrics and slow but brilliant classical guitar riff- unlike anything ever heard on any other Mudhoney album. This album is a cross between the sex pistols and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Terrific stuff. The album finshes up with the moody epic 'Beneath the valley of the underdog' its just one of those rare 10 out of 10 songs to close a brilliant album. People need to hear this album. Forget about that grunge thing they were doing in the early 90's and how nobody took them really serious. This is seriously a brilliant rock'n'roll album(NOT grunge)by a seriously talented band.

hey all,

This album was well worth the wait. I've heard Mudhoney grow, and perfect their mix of Garage Rock, Punk, & Blues. On "Tomorrow Hit Today", its clear Mudhoney are at their best. Opening with "A Thousand Forms Of Mind", Singer/Guitarist Mark Arm reminded me of why his voice always impacted me. "Tomorrow Hit Today" is filled with bile and piss, but the music gradually takes the listener into the dark, fuzzy underworld that Mudhoney inhabits. Mark Arm and Steve Turner's guitars are still drenched in fuzz and refuse to be tamed, but their played with ease and the boys seem to have a firmer grip on their ideas. "I Move With The Wind" makes me feel like I'm floating into the unknown, that's how profound "Tomorrow Hit Today" is. The instrumental, "I Will Fight No More Forever" ends on a sour note of futility, the title is more than appropriate because of the tempo and emotion, and perhaps because Mudhoney cannot top this album. The lyrical content is bitter, sarcastic, curious, and everything else that makes Mark Arm a talented singer with a knack for embracing his dark side. " Even those that once called me friend, are liars, cheaters, and fakers!"

This epic album closes with "Beneath The Valley of The Underdog" which can easily be looked upon as Mark's fiercest diatribe, once more bearing his dark side for all Mudhoney fans to bask in.

In 1998 when grunge music has been long dead Mudhoney produced what is arguably their best album. From the you-know-it's-a-hit-from-the-first-20 seconds A Thousand Forms of Mind to the equally brilliant Night Of The Hunted and Ghost this album never lets up until brief dead air after Beneath the Valley of the Underdog befor the secret song starts. Mike McCready of Pearl Jam listed this CD as one of his favorite of '98 and it's no wonder why.

This album, is beyond a doubt, the best album that has come out in a long time. From A thousand Forms of Mind to Beneath the Valley of the Underdog, the songs are well crafted as well as layered with the fine psychotic solo's mudhoney are known for. (not perfect to any Joe Satriani fans but perfect to me nonetheless) this album could not be better.

as usual, a very fine album from the best band in the whole world. i have been excited for the new album for a long long time and it sure paid off. it sounded a bit more polished than their previous albums but it is by no means over-produced or fabricated. it is sheer mudhoney, pure and simple. the soul is there and the rest follows from that. i'm looking forward to seeing them on tour this fall with opening band the kent 3!
