Bleep

It’s nice to know that sludge metal’s sludgiest Melvins are still having a blast nearly forty years into their career — and what better way to open your 24th album than with an expletive cover of The Beach Boys’ ‘I Get Around’. The LP sees King Buzzo’s long-standing band reunite with original drummer Mike Dillard, and you can tell there’s a juvenile basement rehearsal atmosphere to Working With God, one where anything goes and everything just… works. The droning Swamp Thing-Sabbath riffs are still ever-present, even where Melvins are in a punkier mood than usual on this damn good record.
