that joe preston solo album is probably the worst thing to have the word Melvins written on it.

From something for which I started this thread to the polar opposite -- sonic air freshener for the so-called NPR-listening umc snob/intelligentsia demographic. In five long years of toil.
― Gorge, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 14:49 (fourteen years ago) link
I really like this new one. I was concerned since the descriptions indicated they were going back to their old sound, and I loved "Life ... The Best Game in Town." The new one does have the sparser, less catchy sound of their old stuff but still has some striking melodic (even pretty) moments.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 11 May 2010 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Harvey Milk is one of the best bands of any genre out there right now. So powerful, so amazingly gorgeous, brilliant musicians without ever sounding stiff or mechanical. Life... just completely blasted my mind out & the s/t recent release is perhaps just as good. Long may they melt face.
― ImprovSpirit, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link
kinda bummed that life...the best game in town is generally acknowledged (hereabout) as weak sister to special wishes. i grant the greatness of the latter, but life... is an incredible album. love how it combines elements of everything they'd done prior - anguished sludge, classic rock & leftfield experimentation - without ever treading water or rehashing past glories. SW ends on an incredible high, but i prefer life... as a front-to-back listen.
― contenderizer, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh yeah - I can't imagine anyone thinking Life... is weak compared to ANYTHING. It doesn't mean anything's wrong with Special Wishes, but Life... just kills it. That intense Neil Young meets Melvins guitar solo in [I beleive] the 1st song completely plowed me under. I listened to that track 3 or 4 times before proceeding to the rest of the disc.
― ImprovSpirit, Thursday, 13 May 2010 19:03 (fourteen years ago) link
i was sort of under the impression that Life... was considered their masterpiece? it got great reviews when it came out and a lot of praise around here anyways. i have super high hopes for the new one
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:40 (fourteen years ago) link
It wasn't well received by older (elitist) fans, although I did like it a lot. It wasn't quite as good as Special Wishes but it was still great. For some reason harvey milk got a lot of the anti nigel metal backlash from a lot of tossers.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Their masterpiece is Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men. I would feel weird recommending it outright because I have never experienced such gravity at a record's center. I was depressed for weeks.
― Brad Nelson (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:50 (fourteen years ago) link
ok i can see that, and me liking it only strengthening same tossers argument... i like courtesy a lot too though, it's just a more harrowing listen
xp!
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Courtesy is a masterpiece,and my fave, but yeah not a place to start someone off at.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:55 (fourteen years ago) link
I should also add that there is no bad Harvey Milk record. I'm about to listen to the new one and I'm frightfully unprepared.
― Brad Nelson (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:55 (fourteen years ago) link
It's a tad more like older stuff, and those who didn't like life.... seem to like it more, but no doubt elitist tossers wont change their mind.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link
Compared to these guys, most doom metal is fun-filled fantasy. In the destructive element immerse.
― Brad C., Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:58 (fourteen years ago) link
I really cant be bothered with that whole "its our clubhouse we dont want that kind of listener liking our genre of music" which you seem to get in most genres of music now.

"how dare art infiltrate our music"
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 13 May 2010 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, courtesy is generally held up as the masterpiece, and that's where i came in (bought a used copy about 10 years ago). while i respect its intensity and invention, i can't call it my favorite. it's just too unrelentingly harsh and despairing.
just notices that harvey milk occur in the metalest section of my tiny lp collection: hammers of misfortune, harvey milk, hawkwind, hellacopters, helloween, high on fire...bracketed by halo of flies and robyn hitchcock.

Speaking of Courtesy, I just found a limited to 1000 CD issue on Reproductive Records and I'm wondering how rare it is. Listening to it currently for the first time.
― Evan, Monday, 2 August 2010 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link
You answered your own question
― van smack, Monday, 2 August 2010 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Well I know technically 1000, but I didn't know if anyone knew how desired this issue is. I only know so much about the band.
― Evan, Monday, 2 August 2010 21:20 (thirteen years ago) link
is it the version tUMULt licensed in 2000?

nice score!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 2 August 2010 21:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks! I'm enjoying the album so far.
― Evan, Monday, 2 August 2010 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
It's great. I should think that cd is worth a lot more than you paid for it.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 2 August 2010 21:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah. I was happy to learn it seems to be the favorite among many fans.

well shit. though it seems framed more as ambiguous time off than "breaking up"
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 00:42 (eleven years ago) link
also this is a terribly written sentence: "Like Melvins, to whom they owe a debt, Harvey Milk stood alone in a style full of sound-alikes."

Haven't yet, but I am curious.
I am still so mad at myself for sleeping on Harvey Milk for so long, a great band.

I just remembered I own the ANTHEM DVD! I need to watch it again.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 8 July 2014 21:30 (nine years ago) link
oh shit i need to order that
the HM show at the triple rock last year(? maybe 2 years ago?) was easily in my top 5 all time.
also i really envy owners of the anthem dvd

I did not go to the Triple Rock show cuz I had to go to an awful Thurston Moore show with my wife that was so boring we walked out of.
Kill me.
― chr1sb3singer, Wednesday, 9 July 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
I saw them in Chicago, I'm guessing on that same tour, and it was so awesome.
I'm sad their official page is no longer up because they had the best t-shirts for sale.

It's definitely not as good as Harvey Milk proper, but I like it. The punchline at the end of "The Price is Wrong" is the hardest I've genuinely lol'd at a song in years.
