Bullhead is usually considered Melvin’s first truly great album. The Sludge Metal pioneers are relatively peerless in this era, as you could count the number of notable Sludge bands on one hand when this dropped. These circumstances made Melvins kings of the movement by default, and I think that’s why it doesn’t really appeal to me.
Bullhead is an album that is special by circumstance, because it had no competition and no comparison. It was influential and unique, but those things don’t matter to me when I’m listening to it. The music itself is very basic, monotonous, and droning. These qualities can be fine when done right (or if that is your taste) but I feel this album just doesn’t have enough going on to warrant much entertainment out of that. There aren’t any great riffs, no striking vocal performances, no rhythm grooves, its just a lot of repetitive heavy chords. It’s slow, but it’s certainly not doomy, because there’s no atmosphere and no strong mood aside from kind of anxious.
Unfortunately I have yet to find much enjoyment out of early Sludge, and this album was not the one to change my mind. Onward we go.

album "Bullhead" má opäť dobrý zvuk, občas dobré zvuky, ale tie piesne sú nedotiahnuté a chaotické. Také nedorobky. Stále mám pocit, akoby som prišiel do nejakej skúšobne, kde sa predvádza začínajúca kapela, čo už vie hrať.

A great and well-rounded album. I especially love Boris. The most ambitious track that takes the most risks on the recording is the best part. When that's the result something is going seriously right. I will be returning to this album in particular; it really hits the spot.
