This is not merely their most impressively realised effort in many a moon, but also one of the most rewarding listens of the year thus far

The Skinny
Every band you love owes a collossal debt to the Melvins, a debt which you should start to repay by buying this record

Admittedly, it isn’t a particularly easy listen, but love isn’t always easy, even if it is always worthwhile

For a band of guys well into their 50s to be still making music this head-twisting is a wonderful thing

Both the most accessible and strangest thing Melvins have done in years. It's a wild ride but one well worth taking

The tenacity and productivity of the Melvins is admirable, as is their ability to continue to push music into some of its darkest and most intriguing corners

There's a very good Melvins album leading off A Walk with Love & Death, but the rest of it is only going to agree with a tiny numbers of fans

The album’s best stuff happens on Death (tracks 1 through 9). Here, The Melvins are their reliable selves

It's billed as a "psychotic headtrip" but perhaps isn't quite as exciting as that sounds. Print edition only

Along with a handful of other Melvins albums, A Walk With Love & Death seems destined to be overshadowed by the band’s stronger output

Two minutes into “Cradboa Negro,” the last track of the Death portion of the record, it all starts going south. The subsequent 14 tracks of Love, aside from some funny song titles like “Chicken Butt” and “The Asshole Bastard,” are utter baloney
