Don’t Sleep On Melvins’ Thunderball, Writes The Sleeping Shaman

The Sleeping Shaman has a review of Melvins’ new LP Thunderball. Apparently he is impressed. “As they’ve proven over the course of four (!) legendary decades,” the Shaman writes, “Melvins never make the same album twice as they’re constantly tinkering with their sound, always evolving, always searching for new sonics, always making music for themselves first and foremost, with Buzz Osborne’s bottomless well of creativity and riffs always percolating… As always with Melvins, it is enthusiastically recommended.” The full review is here.
