It's the Melvins sounding like they're trying to break their own equipment in a basement.

Abrasive and unpredictable with a dark, absurdist sense of humor.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift from a rhythmic sludge crawl into a chaotic wall of feedback on track 2.
Dale Crover's drum fills on the opening track that feel like they are actively trying to break the kit.
The way the final track dissolves into a haunting, metallic drone that lingers longer than expected.
