5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good.......2005-10-16

This album caught me by surprise. I've always liked Biafra's work, and had a bit of interest in the Melvins, but never expected something like this to work so well.

Both work really well together, the lyrics compliment the sound better than any of these collaborations (well, maybe besides his album with Mojo Nixon) they are hilarious, strange, and disturbing, and usually on target.

I just never really expected Biafra to be a part of another really great studio album.

4 out of 5 stars One of the best "Jello Biafa and..." discs.......2005-07-02

First let me say, I've been a fan of Jello Biafra's music starting with the Dead Kennedys, loved most of his 'Jello Biafra and ...' one-off discs, and really dug most of Lard (being also a Ministry fan).

Jello Biafa and the Melvins' "Never Breath What You Can't See" is probably tied for my favorite 'Jello Biafa and...' disc, along with EP Jello Biafra and D.O.A.'s "Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors". I wasn't a huge Melvins fan (more due to lack of exposure to them than outright dislike) but after listening to "Never Breath...", I'll definitely be checking out more of their catalog. The combo of the Melvins and Jello on several songs evoke a bit of the Dead Kennedys best disc "Frankenchrist".

"Plethysmograph" has quickly become probably my favorite post-DK Jello song. . "Yuppie Caddillac" seems like an updated nod to the DK song "Winnebego Warrior". I also liked "McGruff..." and "Enchanted Thoughtfist". The other songs are pretty standard Jello rant tunes, but they rise above the stuff on the other 'Jello and...' discs because of the Melvins' playing.

My only real complaint - and its minor - is that the song topics focus a ~bit~ much on Islam/9-11 stuff, though its not too surprising given the times.

If you're a Jello fan, I highly recommend this disc.

5 out of 5 stars Best Since DK?.......2005-03-11

I got turned on to DK in the late 80's, and never got to see them live, but they've always been my favorite punk band. I didn't get into Lard much, and lost touch with Biafra's output since then. I love the Melvyns, though, so I got this - it completely rocks.

It sounds more like Biafra's album than the Melvyns, but the Melvyn's are so muscular (Rutmanis on bass has been and continues to be a huge addition to the band) that they really bring the songs to a very high quality level, and Biafra's vocals are to Punk what Easy E's were to RAP.

Great album.

1 out of 5 stars not so good.......2005-02-21

Melvins are rock stars and have been since the early 90s , alas they dont really have it anymore . Jello is well , a spoken word artist these days . This record here falls short of anything great . It is very generic and there is really nothing special here . Just stick with your old DK records or some of the post industrial stuff he did . As for the MELVINS go no further than BULLHEAD ,OZMA,or GLUEY PORCH TREEATMENTS .

4 out of 5 stars Entertaining.......2005-01-25

Being a huge fan I'm a little bit bias, I was looking for some spoken word. Never the less I did enjoy it.

            4 out of 5 stars A solid album from a great band.......2004-11-08

            Man, I'm glad I grew up on the east coast. Being out in LA, I would have never heard of Boiler Room. When I first heard them, it was on a college station. They were a local band called who used to be called Bible Black (I've always known them as Boiler Room). I actually have the album they released independently before this one (which by the way has that song "Low Society" that another reviewer had mentioned, and no I would never even think of selling it) and back then they had a darker, heavier sound.
            The big problem I had with this album was my first impression. When I first started listening, it sounded like they had abandoned their doomy, down-tuned sound for a newer, more "accessible" sound. It sounded like any other band that's played on the new rock stations. Then, I got through some more of the album and realized that they're trying to pioneer the genre, instead of blending in with it. "Insomnia" is hands down my favorite track, with such a powerful yet simple riff, along with a strong vocal melody and a superb overall feel to the song. "Superficial" is also a strong track and "Patience" is another standout but honestly I can't say anything bad about any of the songs on this cd. It's just sad that the record companies gave up on them so easily and they had to call it quits.

            4 out of 5 stars Solid Debut.......2003-09-04

            As far as the music goes, there isn't anything to complain about. Like some other reviewers noted, their sound isn't exactly the most original, but the talent the band exudes raises the bar for the genre they are in. And original or not, you just can't help but enjoy it. There is definitely some love and enthusiasm put into the songs, and it shows in the way these guys play.

            Some highlights are the radio hit "Do It Again" and, my personal favorite on the album, the title track "Can't Breathe".

            I really wish I could give this album 3.5 stars instead only because there isn't a lot of lyrical depth. We've all read bad poetry, and there are some lines that make you cringe when you hear them - a few of the rapped lines on "Can I Live?" for instance. And again, it is a great CD, but nothing terribly groundbreaking. It's too bad they broke up, since I think further CDs would have revealed some amazing stuff as they matured musically.

            All in all, a very solid debut. If you're in the mood for some new music you can rock out to and you can't figure out what to get, I'd definitely recommend giving these guys a try.

            5 out of 5 stars My new favorite CD... only one bad thing.......2002-01-27

            Okay, this album kicks major .... It is great from track 1 to track 12. Now, as my title thing says, only one bad thing. They are no longer a band as of early December. :(

            4 out of 5 stars Boiling.......2001-06-26

            Once again Amazon.com introduced this to me, and I think Boiler Room is a great band. This cd just boils with good songs, get it.

            4 out of 5 stars Nothing new, but still worth a buy.......2001-03-07

            Once I heard that this band sadly broke up, I made sure to get my hands on a copy of "Can't Breahe" before it got too rare. I'm glad I bumpedit up on my priority list, because it really actually is a pretty good album. Nothing at all groundbreaking, it's just a nice hard rock album that doesn't try to do anything more than just rock, whch is refreshing sometmes. Nothing special, just straight up rock.
