Title: A Demented Masterpiece
Review: When I first bought Houdini, I couldn't even make it through the first couple of songs.......I HATED it. It was the first music I had ever heard by the Melvins. A few months later I forced myself to listen to it again, and I was transformed. I couldn't believe that I actually disliked it the first time I heard it. It kept growing and growing on me. There's not one song on the whole album that I don't love, and the fact that nearly all the lyrics are unintelligible actually adds to the overall appeal.Be warned: alot of reviews of this album as well as other albums by the Melvins tend to categorize the music as grunge or alternative. As far as I can tell, the Melvins are in their OWN musical category.......so don't expect to hear Nirvana/Pearl Jam types of songs here. The music on Houdini ranges from speed metal to sludge to god knows what. Give it a whirl.......I'm glad I did.
Is the review positive or negative?
