    Frontman King Buzzo's guitar is searingly loud and untethered to studio tricks, more weapon than instrument, making 13 deadly songs even more venomous.

    For fans of the present day version of the Melvins, this is essential listening. For those who haven't heard the band in a while, you're in for one hell of a surprise.

    Sugar Daddy Live reveals a picture of a storied band that is still finding ways to reinvent itself.

    Buzzo will be Buzzo, the Melvins will be the Melvins, and we will all have to either love it or stop caring. But with more consistently impressive performances like this, it'll probably be the former.

    Sugar Daddy Live finds the sludge metalists powering through an energetic 13 songs nearly 25 years after their formation, and having a ton of fun while doing so.
