Editorial Reviews
Signed to Atlantic Records in the hubbub after Nirvana's Nevermind exploded, the Melvins' fifth album Houdini was a conscious attempt by the band to make a record that wouldn't alienate their fans but that the band members themselves would also enjoy. Their best-selling release by a country-mile, this album crested at number 29 on on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Houdini would be most folks introduction to the band and songs like 'Honeybucket' received MTV airplay. First time on vinyl since 1993. Mastered directly from original analog tapes. Six tracks produced by Kurt Cobain. Cover art by legendary artist Frank Kozik. Includes the vinyl-only bonus track 'Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)' originally by the MC5. Gatefold sleeve. 180-gram vinyl.

Here's a song by song description:
1. Hooch - heavy as f-. A strange, driving rhythm with nonesensical lyrics. Like your brain on lots and lots hooch. Check out the video on youtube with Beavis and Butthead watching it.
2. Night Goat - imagine if Flipper got all junked out and tried to play Filth Pig by Ministry. Only Buzz's voice sounds nothing like Ministry or Flipper's vocalists. He sounds relly deep and scruffy like Alice Cooper on steroids.
3. Lizzy - a simple, dark country riff randomy bursting into a punky chorus. Redundant and hypnotic. The closest thing to ballad on Houdini.
4. Going Blind - a remake of the Kiss ballad except played as a slow, heavy, punk rock song. Beautiful.
5. Honey Bucket - og thrash metal. Sounds a lot like Metallica meets Black Flag. Mostly because of the vocals. Rules.
6. Hag Me - sludge metal. The Melvins practically invented sludge and drone metal with their album, Lysol (that's pre-Earth, pre-Sunn 0)), ect). Here's 7 minutes of pure sludge.
7. Set Me Straight - the weird thing is this one later turned up in demo form from the mid-80s. Its their most 70s rock sounding, catchy song on the album with a strong hint of the 90s grunge they inspired.
8. Sky Pup - like Captain Beefheart if he was more influenced by lounge jazz then blues and if he mumbled more than he yelled. Don't know how else to describe this one.
9. Joan Of Arc - more sludge rock. Alot like something that would be on Ozma or Bullhead. Really heavy and catchy in a strange way.
10. Copache - an upbeat rocker featuring a surf rock solo.
11. Teet - another heavy, driving song like only the Melvins do. Mostly bass driven with a punky chorus.
12. Pearl Bomb - weird song. An extremely repetitive drumbeat (most likely a metronome set on fast) with a super catchy bass line and some beat sounding poem that barely makes sense.
13. Spread Eagle Beagle - a 10 minute plus drum solo. Not ove indulgent. Just experimental.
On a scale of 1 to 10 gets an 8 or 9. My favorite Melvins albums are their more experimental ones like Honky and Stag. That's not to say this isn't experimental compared to music in general. There's really no flaws. The album rules. Good for fans of metal, punk, grunge, noise, and avant-guarde. And a great place to start if you're just getting into the band. Buy it. Now.
I gave it a few listens at first, and didn't find myself especially intruiged, though I knew I Would like it if I only tried to get into it. Later on I took it on a trip with me, and having a limited number of CDs with me, and having listened to and grown tired of most of them, I moved onto this one and thus learned very much how to appreciate it.
The small attempts at fitting in with the grudge genre are apparent in this album, and they do it with considerable succes. That being said the majority of their album is the original wacky and mind bending rock and roll. Most every song makes the bowels of your lungs massaged with pure noise.
My favorite songs off the album are Night Goat and Hag Me. Both of which are extremely heavy songs.
Anyone looking for a heavy album with a hell of a lot of diversity and give is gonna wanna get this one.
