Nude With Boots - The Melvins  Generally favorable reviews -
based on 18 Critics  Critic score distribution:   1. Positive:
13 out of 18   2. Negative: 0 out of 18   1. Melvins' 18th
proper album is essentially classic rock for 2008--with the
band's trademark abrasion. [Aug 2008, p.166]   2. Nude With
Boots is an enjoyably acerbic listen, with a decent spread of
compositional variety, that empties its acid bath just
occasionally enough to give its audience time to towel off the
waves of tumultuous noise.   3. 80     Nude with Boots follows
their last album, 2006's "(A) Senile Animal," in being one of
the most straightforward, epically rawk albums of the Melvins'
career. [Aug 2008, p.99]   4. It’s slightly less menacing, yet
without a discernible drop in power, which should go down well
in the burbs without alienating their hipster metal following.
5. Flaunting the band's love for classic AOR riffs more here
than on any other previous record, Nude chugs along on the
strength of licks lifted from Led Zeppelin
