I throughly enjoyed both albums but for different reasons. Sure, Acid Bath might be more dynamic as the album shifts from extreme metal, to sludge, to almost post-grunge (in the best possible way) at times. Also gotta love Dax Riggs as he is a fellow hoosier but, for me, Melvins are just better. Buzzo's manic howls with the immense, messianic, Sabbathy riffs and the small undercurrent of alt rock underneath it all just keep me pressing repeat. So...
Melvins - 5
Acid Bath - 5
