Warthur
I'll given the Melvins one thing: they're a dang consistent band. Lysol offers up more tasty Melvins sludge metal in the style of the preceding Bullhead, leading off with the epic and doomy as hell (to the point where it borders on drone metal) Hung Bunny. The Melvins exercise their genius for excellent cover versions here with a great rendition of Alice Cooper's The Ballad of Dwight Fry, on which they do a brilliant job of incorporating the song into their customary sound whilst at the same time keeping what was special about the original: it's at once an absolutely Melvins track and at the same time shows appropriate respect to Cooper's own craftsmanship. I wouldn't rank it above Houdini but if you liked that one I can't see this disappointing you too much.
