Tres cabrones

"This isn't just a few middle-aged dudes trying to relive their teenaged years - at least not entirely. Tres Cabrones is yet another example of the Melvins' mischievous musical enthusiasm and ability to triumph over the rock star flare-outs, reunion cash-grabs, and stale maturity ... Tres Cabrones is the debut of the Melvins of old, but it's also a great indication of the good that comes from Crover and Osborne's infinitely impish desire to mix things up".

"Skulle bandet have ramt plet med eksperimentet, skulle de have skåret de dårligste numre fra og udgivet et minialbum eller slet og ret brugt flere kræfter på sangskrivningen i stedet for at indspille tre ligegyldige fjollenumre. For det er virkelig ærgerligt, at fokus i dén grad fjernes fra de mange gode sange, der også er at finde på albummet. At ni af de 12 sange desuden har været udgivet før, er med til at understrege, at Tres Cabrones er en lidt overflødig udgivelse".

"Tres Cabrones (Spanish for "Three Bastards") is, by its very nature, a mixture of classic and current Melvins and the current three-man lineup (at least current for this release) are adept at nailing each era and facet of the band (from the classic sludge to the artistic experimental rock to the psychedelic lyrics to the absolutely comical side they've always embraced). This 19th album may not quite be the best of their releases, nor is it the most accessible album to come out of 2013 (accessibility would not exactly be very Melvins, would it?), but Melvins fans and fans of experimental rock, novelty songs and the classic punk style that never took itself too seriously will find a lot to love in Tres Cabrones".
