MAY 1991: Melvins, Smashing Pumpkins, De La Soul, Primus, Elvis Costello

May 1991 saw some weird, marvelous album releases, and we're reviewing them all here: Bullhead, the 3rd studio album from Seattle alt rock pioneers Melvins; Gish, the majestic and haunting debut studio album from '90s legends Smashing Pumpkins; De La Soul is Dead, a challenging and hilarious collection of hip hop gems from national treasures De La Soul; Sailing the Seas of Cheese, the major label debut of the brilliant, unclassifiable Primus; and Mighty Like a Rose, an uneven but compelling entry from singer-songwriter Elvis Costello.
