		The Melvins was formed in the early 1980s by Buzz Osborne (guitar/vocals), Matt Lukin (bass) and Mike Dillard (drums) who all went to High School in Montesano, Washington.

		This time out, the Melvins have tapped noise and mood specialist Lustmord, and his presence is felt right from the beginning.
		The Melvins' The Crybaby, the final volume in their Ipecac Recordings trilogy, applies their uncompromisingly dense sound and irreverence to a collection of covers and original material.
		The early to mid-'90s proved the Melvins' golden age, and the three principal albums from that period -- Stoner Witch provides the centerpiece -- are virtually unassailable in their range, depth, power, and experimental courage.

		The Melvins were the first post-punk band to revel in the slow, sludgy sounds of Black Sabbath.
		The Melvins' first record was released in 1987; they've released several albums since then, but it wasn't until 1993 that they went to a major label, thanks to their protégé, Kurt Cobain.
		For Nirvana and many other Seattle-area bands, the Melvins' sludge was inspirational; the younger bands took the Sabbath-styled heaviness of the Melvins, while adding an equally important pop song structure, which the group tended to lack.

	The Melvins "Hostile Ambient Takeover CD review on AudioRevolution.com
		The Melvins are arguably the most influential group in the world of grunge music, but don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of them.
		The Melvins never “sold out” and to this day still enjoy a great deal of respect as pioneers of a genre of music that may be well out of the public spotlight but defined the early ‘90s as glam rock faded away.
		On the immediate surface, the Melvins sound like a garage band, but when you really listen to what is going on, you’ll find an extremely talented and imaginative musical trio with chops so prodigious that they were once given an opening spot on tour with Canadian art rockers Rush.

		The closest the Melvins might come to that precious metal is if singer-guitarist Buzz Osborne, drummer Dale Crover or bassist Kevin Rutamanis pass by Tiffany's in Los Angeles on their way to band rehearsal.
		Sure, the Melvins have a back catalog bursting with landmark recordings, have given thousands of brain-melting live performances and have earned the respect of innumerable music-making peers.
		But the Melvins remain on the fringes of hard rock, suffering indifference, puzzled stares or the not-infrequent "Wow, I thought those guys broke up a long time ago" from those outside their cult following.

	The Melvins, The Crybaby - PopMatters Music Review
		The Melvins go way back, all the way to the mid-'80s and the pre-history of Grunge.
		Their garage band credentials notwithstanding (and what band doesn't start out in a garage?), it helps a great deal that the boys are indeed fine musicians.
		Their musicianship is highlighted on two very long numbers, which follow in the great Melvins' tradition of playing as though the radio single never existed.

		Since 1986, notorious Pacific Northwest spawn the Melvins have been slogging their distinctive metal/punk/noise/sludge mutation around the nation.
		So retro, yet so guileless is their approach, that the Melvins are virtually avant-garde —; a charmingly feisty train-wreck of Black Sabbath's doom-laden heaviness, and dalliances with the dissonance of the Stooges and Swans.
		Inspired by their appearance at the UK festival All Tomorrow's Parties — wherein performers are asked to present an album of theirs in its entirety — the Melvins have "redone" their 1993 album Houdini, though this go-'round was recorded for an invited audience in a warehouse in Vernon, California.

	Metroactive Music \| The Melvins
		Formed in Aberdeen, Wash., in the early '80s, the Melvins were one of the first bands to blend the unrelenting punch of hardcore punk with the slow grind of bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
		The Melvins are often referred to as "the godfathers of grunge," an epithet that causes Osborne to yelp, "Hey, don't blame me! The bands the press talks about as grunge--like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains--are squeaky-clean rock.
		Right now, the Melvins have a new album out, titled Stag, and though it's actually somewhat lighter than their earlier beefy fare, it's still a far cry from anything normally heard on the radio.

		The Melvins of those records seemed, for the most part, less restricted by borders and more willing to expand themes and repetitions well beyond their seemingly logical conclusions.
		All in all, the disc’s a good one, not one of the Melvins’ finest but, between incredibly intense live performances and a stream of recent releases, the band’s increasingly putting the bar for itself pretty damned high off the ground.

		Bio: The Melvins were the first post-punk band to revel in the slow, sludgy sounds of Black Sabbath.
		Their music is oppressively slow and heavy, only without any of the silly mystical lyrics or the indulgent guitar solos — it's just one massive, oozing pile of dark slime.
		The late '90s/early 21st century saw a flurry of releases by the band the Maggot, the Bootlicker, the Crybaby, Electroretard, and the Colossus of Destiny, all of which (except for the fourth one) were issued on Mike Patton's Ipecac label.

	The Melvins: CRAVE MUSIC
		Second, The Melvins were actually a pretty good hardcore band.You might not expect hardcore mastery, given the Melvins' current blend of metal, psychedelia and general weirdness, but tracks like "Forgotten Principles" and "If You Get Bored" pack enough sneer into their high BPM choruses to classify these early songs as pure punk.
		While Mangled Demos might be attractive to listeners who are unfamiliar with the Melvins, be forewarned: the disc has more in common with the average basement tapes than mere snotty vigor and low fidelity.
		Part of the Melvins' charm is their ability to blend strangeness with metal force, and asMangled Demos demonstrates, they showed this promise at an early age.

		Some of the Melvins' subsequent records have their moments (Stoner Witch's 'Shevil', Stag's 'Cotton Mouth'), but for the most part it seems to me that the Melvins gave up the ghost after recording this.
		The Melvins have a knack for putting out some puzzling EP's, and this is one of them.

		The element that often gets overlooked in Melvins material is King Buzzo’s voice.
		“Operation Blessing” is the polar opposite of the Melvins aesthetic, a lightning-bolt of Extreme Noise Terror/Napalm Death-esque hardcore.
		“Breakfast On The Sly” is almost jaunty for the Melvins, an angular shuffle with inspired screeches and grunts from King Buzzo.
