The best part about a new Melvins album is that you're never quite sure what you're going to get. With Bad Mood Rising it's a tuned-down rock and roll nightmare. BIG riffs and scary vocals. The 12-minute album opener "Mr Dog is Totally Right" features guest guitarist Dylan Carlson from the world famous band Earth. What a treat!! From there it goes into Never Say You're Sorry. It sounds like the way a big mean dog walks. Great fun! The rest of the album rounds out nicely. "Hammering" might be one of the catchiest songs the Melvins have ever written.
