Yeah, I was listening to it yesterday. The Melvins are better now than they've ever been, and this live album is the proof of that.

i agree, though consensus seems like Bride was a bit undercooked/a mixed bag. do you agree?
totally loved Senile and Nude, tho

The first and last tracks kinda sucked; everything in between was great. (And I liked the first track when they played it live.)

this part of Buzzo's Village Voice interview had me laughing--
What was the thinking behind doing an album with stand-up bass? Trevor has played electric bass for you guys.Well, I saw Trevor play stand up bass with Nels Cline and I thought it was something we could do and the wheels started rolling in my head. We reinvented the band but it's just an extension; it's not going to take over. We're gonna do both things—Melvins Lite and regular Melvins.So Melvins Lite is not just a one-off thing. It will continue?I certainly hope so.And the two-drummer lineup will go on, as well?You bet. Or we'll totally go insane and overdose in the toilet like Elvis.

I have been on a Melvins kick. I really love "The Bootlicker". That record is pretty much the Melvins make a their Pink Floyd album (or close as they ever gonna get) and kinda a bit of both Syd and later Floyd at that too.
