Review by Jay Snyder, Hellridemusic.com:
"One listen is the equivalent of being stuck on an acid trip in the desert after dark. Cacti stretch upwards to touch the night sky, a distant oasis blinks in and out of existence and the howl of coyotes echo endlessly in your ears…while that’s not an accurate description of their sound, and it is closer than one might think. You dig?"

"To sum it all up, Melon is still the equivalent to a wild ride across the desert, although this time the vehicle is definitely not running on gas. Liquid LSD is more like it. I’ve loved everything they’ve done up to this point, but this is where its all been heading. Never Eat on an Empty Stomach is a glorious monument to eclectic sounds and should please stoner rockers who need a little bit of everything in their musical diet. Still reminds me of some sort of new age Zappa by way of Clutch with noise-rock, Floyd, Ashra and God knows what else tossed in just because they can and are capable. In lesser hands we could be dealing with a mess, but in the hands of Melon we’ve got perfection! Look for this one to drop at the end of April and go out and support ‘em on the live front. Not sure how they do it, but they pull this shit off and make it look easy! A killer release on all counts." ... more

You know when you listen to an album and doesn't do it for you the first time? And then you listen again at a later time and it blows you away? How amazing is that? I 'm stuck on this album for a few days now, thinking "what the hell was I thinking?". Superb songwriting, killer vocal melodies. Jerry Cantrell is listening somewhere on his own and is smiling. Seriously, do not sleep on this album. Give it a spin today! Ioannis Valiakos
