It’s rare and welcome to burst out laughing within seconds of hitting play but the Melvins “I Fuck Around” a juvenile cover of the Beach Boys’ “I Get Around” is a total giggle retaining all the layered bounce and sunshine of the original, with a tad more honesty about what much music of that time was actually about.

Working With God. Even the press release was a hoot with casual asides directed at band members (“union jobs… must be nice asshole”), other bands (“it’s the album bands like Green Day and Metallica wish they could put out if they only had the guts”), and a tongue-in-cheek explanation for the title: “because it was time to get right with the lord.”
