As for the other album, it's a conglomeration of the Melvins and Fantomas, who have Mike Patton(Faith No More) as a lead singer, and it's also pretty good. It has a couple Melvins songs like Hooch (it's live, by the way) and some Fantomas songs, which are like Japanese noise metal in the vain of Melt Banana meets the Melvins' special breed of sludge metal.

So yeah, both were pretty interesting.

Oh yeah, and I got Pigs of the Roman Empire on lp, which was really weird in a good way, reminescent of Tool (I think Adam Jones plays on it) but still distinctly Melvins, and then Never Breathe What You Can't See which has Jello Biafra so it sounds like a metal version of DK.
