"This is certainly a purchase longtime fans will justly want to grab. However, if you are a newer fan who, for some reason, wants to start with one of the group's more recent releases, Freak Puke or Nude With Boots might be a better choice since they are more consistently rocking. Melvins is still pretty much my favorite band of all time, though, so take any critiques with a grain of salt, as almost everything they do still rules".

"The Melvins are like the Beatles for me: I respect them greatly and fully understand how responsible they are for shaping a large cross-section of the music I hold dear, but I don't find the need to celebrate their every last note. That being said, the Melvins' new double record, A Walk With Love And Death, as a whole is really tough to deal with. Really tough. The first nine tracks of the record, referred to as Death, are solid, listenable, weirdo rock that fans, or anyone who appreciates creative music could enjoy. Tracks 10-23, or Love, are actually a score for a short film produced by the band and directed by Jesse Nieminen. It's that portion of A Walk that feels like a huge "fuck you" to a rock solid fan base that would buy anything Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover (and current bassist Steve McDonald) would sell them".

"It's utterly uncompromising and very much for a select audience, but it is hard not to admire the band's continued willingness to bash at the boundaries of extreme music".
