    5.0 out of 5 stars MUDHONEY takes on Hard Psyche and come out victoious!

    MUDHONEY's BEST! From beginning to end this is a scorcher of a Psychedelic recording transcending any labels of Grunge.You can tell they worked hard on this since it has the most primitive form of 3D artwork ever and it is so damn cool. Anyone who puts this classic down has no knowledge of Modern Psyche such as Sun Dial, Bevis Frond and Vibravoid. This had perfect timing too coming out in 2002. This should have sold millions!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A slight departure, kinda...

    I read other comments about this one being a stylistic change for Mudhoney. I wouldn't really say that. There are a few songs that have a horn section, true, but the essence of the band is still there. It's still sorta juvenile and as gloriously immature-sounding as many of their other albums, just with horns now and then. No need to be scared off. I guess after so many years they felt they needed to add something so that they didn't start to have every song sound the same. Take AC/DC for instance- they'll always be one of my favorite bands, but they probably should have hung it up long ago. On their last album (Black Ice)- out of 15 songs, only one was really distinguishable from the rest, and that's only because our local radio station played that song several times when the album first came out. Mudhoney at least tried to keep things from getting stale, and they seem to have succeeded. After all, they are still around today- one of the very few Seattle grunge-era bands who can say that!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album!

    'Translucent' has gotten a bad rap in many reviews. While this album is different than other Mudhoney albums, I think it shows growth with the horns in multiple songs. The first song 'Can you dig the light' reminds of acid jazz fusion like the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and songs 'Inside Job' and 'the Straight Life' are instant classics. I say dust it off again and revise the thinking, this one is great!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album Since Debut
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2002
    This is easily their finest work since the unbridled rage and lunacy of the self-titled full-length debut. The Black Sabbath-style guitar/bass sludge is in full force. The blues-infused influence of Stevie and Mark's Monkeywrench project is in effect. The twisted guitar and rolling drumbeats inspired by Sonic Youth are everywhere. Mark Arm still wails like no one in rock and roll. And, this time, THE HORNS...baby, can you dig the HORNS?!?! Seriously, Mudhoney has not put out an album this strong and consistent from the first track to the last since the beginning.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Post Lukin hangover
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2011
    Compared to all the other Mudhoney full length albums, this is their worst. That being stated, it's still not a terrible record... there's actually many bright spots on the record. They're branching out here (lengthening songs, bringing in horns) which is cool to hear, but it is obvious that this is a transitional album for the band. Some tracks really rock, while just as many drag. Dyin for it, Crooked & Wide, & Winner's Circle are particularly offensive to me, just because they are so extremely unremarkable and bland... tedious really.

    The following album (Under a Billion Suns) is a bit spotty as well, but blows the doors off this record and Lucky Ones competes with their finest work. Since We've Become Translucent captures the band struggling to get their footing.

    I do give the graphic design of the album five stars. The gatefold of the vinyl edition is super sweet.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A translucent gem!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2016
    Never really spent that much time with this one as compared to some of the early Mud slinging's like Every Good Boy, Superfuzz, etc. I dusted this one off after reading NOFX's great book Hepatitis Bathtub. I like it so much I rolled directly into Oral History of Grunge which has caused me to relive the Seattle Years. So long story short this has been a treat to re-discover. It has some classic climatic Mudhoney anthems like tracks 4, 6, and 9 that can stand up to any of their greatest hits. Also, nice use of horns with throughout the album. Mudhoney's classic recipe of fuzzed-out guitars, building rhythms, and Mark Arm's caterwauling makes this a truly translucent gem. Well done, fellas!

    4.0 out of 5 stars It takes time, but once it grows on you you'll love it.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2002
    This is not my fave Mudhoney record. I love Mudhoney, but I prefer their older stuff. Some songs have a more progressive feel to them (Sonic Infusion and Baby Can You Dig the Light) I think it lacks the energy of my favorite Mudhoney record, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. The beats are slower and more bluesy, not as much punk rock influences. But it's good to see that they've evolved. Every good band should evolve and try new things. I'd recomend their self titled album or EGBDF first before you buy this.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Howling anarchy rock for mushmouths
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2011
    Mudhoney pride themselves on making loud, raucous anti-authority anthems. Well that's great. They sound great; Mark Arm has a perfect voice for insolent, working-class rock. So why bury the vocals somewhere in the background? Behind Guitars? Maybe burying vocals in the mix works for some bands, but for these guys it's the wrong approach. Those Beaurocrat hating screams should be loud and proud, splitting your ear-drums like you want em to!

    It's too bad I'm writing this, because, other than that, this is a fine record. The opening, 8 minute + anthem 'Baby can you dig the light' is some crazy-but-oh-so-right anthem with organs, saxaphones and treated vocals. Whoa! Fantastic. A few of the other songs have a late 60's blues-psych leaning, like the catchy 'Take it like a man', and some straight ahead Mudhoney anthems like 'This is our time'. But the mixing/production ruins it. I'd give it three, but the final 'epic' is ruined by that 'bury the vocals' approach. Rating **1/2 (2.5)

    Gran bel disco, con accenni di psicadelia pura miscelata alle loro classiche sonorità sludge/shogaze e grunge! Spedizione ovviamente puntualissima!

    Mudhoney ou comment bien vieillir. 14 ans après leurs débuts, sur fond de grunge, punk, garage et rock psyché, Mudhoney ajoute des cuivres, enchaine des titres plus travaillés avec de vrais bombes à réveiller les morts. Ce groupe ne récolte absolument pas le succès qu'il mérite, mais c'est peut-être mieux ainsi.
