The age of 30 is hard to overcome for people. Imagine for a band . Yet the Melvins - although few would have bet there - they got there : and with this nineteenth studio album becomes almost obligatory celebration ... which is made special with the return of the first lineup drummer , Mike Dillard - originally appeared only in demo recordings and in some bootleg.
The result is, as it was probably in intent , a sort of revival protogrunge - metalloid - hard rock : heavy stuff like an anvil , intoxicated by pills cheap and dozens of joint , a bit ' rough and raw as just a bunch of twenties bored to death , of Montesano (Washington), can regurgitate in the early eighties .
Nine out of 12 songs have already been engraved and published by the group from 1983 to today , so what we have in " Tres cabrones " is a kind of re-reading of "what if" in search of sonic developments that would have occurred if it were Dillard remained in the band and the remaining three pieces are traditional cover - "99 Bottles of beer ", " You're in the Army now" and "Tie my pecker to a tree ." In short, the real surprises , at least in terms of composition , there are none .
It is therefore the case to store the whole thing as yet another divertissement Buzzo & co. , In the face of those who will buy the disc just to brand loyalty Melvins ? The answer is " ni" .
"No" because Buzz Osbourne, despite his 50 years long career and , still seem to have perfectly clear the mechanism that leads to design and play the riff- riffoni the contrary , the ones you create tsunamis in the soul and titillate your alter ego rocker tireless . Do not you just have to deal with tracks that are not entirely new to dampen this talent ... and in this regard I challenge you to emerge unscathed from one -two " Dr. Mule "and" City Dump " .
"Yes," because , objectively , the Melvins have churned out so many records really special - in all honesty - it is difficult to think of this " Tres cabrones " as a serious work and advise even to those unfamiliar with the band ... has the flavor , rather than the prank and the hard fact to have fun, the face of the music biz and who hangs sacredly from the lips of the guru, magazines, trendmaker and hype detector.
In short , it is clear that if this had been released 20 years ago probably would now be in the elite connected to the discography of grunge and alternative rock . In 2013 , with all the water that has passed under the bridge , it's just a good album for nostalgic people who have lived (but really , not just hearsay) the rock epic saga that the Melvins and a few others have started .
