The iconic fifth album 'Houdini' by the Melvins captures the band's power, vision, and musical strangeness. It's an essential '90s release, combining elements of grunge with hard rock and sludge metal, and their biggest commercial success and first major label release.
Buzz Osbourne's guitar sound is deep and heavy and combined with Dale Crover's powerful drum rolls and fills it sounds really impressive. Kurt Cobain added his guitar skills to the track "Sky Pup" and can be heard as a percussionist on "Spread Eagle Beagle". It's one of the most accessible Melvins albums and the gateway to explore more records by the band. 'Houdini' is the ultimate Melvins classic and a must-have for every grunge and music fan in general.
