Title: They can't all be gems.
Review: The Melvins have been so prolific over the last few years that they were bound to release something bad. COLOSSUS OF DESTINY goes beyond the b-word -- this is absolutely terrible, and that verdict is coming from a diehard fan. Recorded live in 1998 with Tool guitarist Adam Jones joining the band, COLOSSUS is nothing but a solid hour of ear-splitting noise. I can't fathom of anybody listening to this for fun. Frankly, I can't fathom of anybody listening to anything in the "noise" genre for fun, but this... this is just atrocious. Long, painful, and occasionally even boring, the only reason to purchase this CD is so you can freak out other people -- and there's far better material out there to achieve such a goal.
