Análisis - Product Description
After three albums filled for the most part with quick song bursts and the occasional longer track, the eight-song long Bullhead found the Melvins stretching out a bit more at points, this time allowing the heavily stoned tempos plenty of time to really sprawl all over the place. There are fewer sudden shifts between fast and slow moments as well, and a lot more pure lava-flow beat-over-head feedback sludge and noise. It's not all ten mph deliberation, though - "Zodiac" shows the trio at full speed and blasting aside anything that might be so foolish as to get in its way, not to mention one unhinged Osbourne vocal lead. If grunge was achieving breakthrough status in Seattle, it was being perfected in its rawest sense on this album. Opening cut "Boris" does all this in excelsis -- the band's longest recorded song at this point, nearly ten minutes long, it practically drips from the bongwater of eight million potheads, with Osbourne invoking his own brand of demons over the deep crawl of the music. Osbourne here really has got the dramatic, theatrical Ozzy Osbourne attitude down, with the occasional double-tracked vocals adding to the off-kilter intensity of the performances. Crover again shows his worth on the drums -- he plays things slow most of the time but, crucially, never once sloppily -- while Black keeps the bass going, however relatively unheard under Osbourne's guitar attack. "It's Shoved" is the not-so-secret highlight of Bullhead, Crover's brisker drum work and Black's sharp bass playing heralding a wild lead-guitar melody and a great ensemble performance. However, efforts like "Anaconda," with its slowly uncoiling power, and the intense "If I Had an Exorcism," which gets all the more wired and wound up as it goes (Black's bass here is some of her best), are no slouches. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide

- Modern Metal

The Melvins are one of the greatest examples of what modern post punk metal is and should be. It's about the "slow grind", Black Sabbath slowed down to 16RPM (Remember those old record players). Buzz Osbourne's guitar is HEAVY, dark and vicious, and free of solos, sort of like The Ramoes overdosed on Quaaludes. Dale Crover is one of the greatest rock drummers and maybe the best today in my opinion; sometimes providing the only changes (rhythmically) over droning, heavilly distorted guitar riffs. Bullhead is among their best records.

- holy cow!

the melvins are quite possibly the heaviest band in the world. These are the guys who invented sludge rock. From start to finish this album is a definite head ripper offer. it all starts with "boris" which is a 9 minute massacre of supreme sludge. And it ends with "cow" which features a 4 minute awesome drum solo from mr. dale crover. The highlighs in between are "anaconda","it's shoved", and "zodiac". Which really make you remember a cross between the stooges and black sabbath. and if you like the melvins you will love acid king.

- Time lapse Glacier Experiment

If someone in the heavens, most likely a highly disturbed individual, were to conduct an audio time lapse experiment with a huge crusty old glacier...The Melvins is what it would sound like. Creeping, dirty , and rumbling...like your uncle's Dodge. Except The Melvins don't smell like pork rinds on the inside. On second thought, that would be dependant upon which album you were listening to. Bullhead is a masterpeice...released in 1991, and full of northwest grit. Huge like only The Melvins can be.

- The absolute must-have Melvins album, period.

Short and sweet..."Bullhead" is the best place to start when listening to the MELVINS for the first time. The song "Your Blessened" was originally released by Slap A Ham Records (Chris Dodge's art appears on the "Ozma" cover by the way) as a live track on an 8" flexi a year or so before the studio version on this album. When I first heard that flexi in 1990, I was hooked. "Bullhead" came out a year later, and that's all she wrote. I love so many of their albums, but for me "Bullhead" was my first and favorite Melvins album...and will always be the one to beat. (also, I dig the fruit still-life album cover...it looks like the tabletops at Frank & Angie's Pizzeria...)

- The Best

If you are new to the Melvins and want a solid album from start to finish, this is it. No filler, no experimental BS. If you like this album then continue with Houdini and The Maggot. If you are still interested then try Stoner Witch and Stag which have excellent songs but also have a lot of experimental BS that Melvins like to perform.
