Louder Than War Counts Thunderball Among (The) Melvins’ Best
Louder Than War contends that Melvins new LP Thunderball “may well be one of many career highlights…. What makes Thunderball stand out is not just the punchy songwriting – they’ve excelled themselves here – but the inclusion of two noise artists to supplement the Melvins sound with drones, beeps, hisses, bleeps and boops. The experimental knob-twiddlers in question are Bristol’s Ni Maîtres... and Void Manes… The bed of sound collage and unexpected texture that they bring to the Melvins’ shebang elevates Thunderball to something really special…”
