The Crybaby

[Androol]

yeah that song rules so fucking hard.

tough to pick a favorite off crybaby but off hand i might go skeleton key. i always kinda thought they were the band who benefited most from that album. intro to them for a whole lot of people and completely out of the park.

this one kinda actually renewed my interest in the melvins when it came out.

Mine Is No Disgrace is my favorite song off The Crybaby.

Mine Is No Disgrace is my favorite song off The Crybaby.

I'd actually forgotten how much i loved this song.

I've actually been listening to Damp today because of this thread.

[Vcavallo]

fuck, i just noobed all over myelf . . .

need a towel?

[MailOrderBride]

i don't care for the crybaby that much as an album, but "mine is no disgrace," "divorced," and "the man with the laughing hand is dead" are some of my favorite songs. so definitely worth getting.

[Salty Green]

Spineless, Dry Drunk and Blockbuster are all gems, and i wholeheartedly agree with the popular sentiment that Divorced is completely epic.

Can't sit through the Hank III tracks though.

wha, wha, what???    aw man, thats good shit.  I guess you got to be a small town redneck like me,  but I dig the HankIII stuff.
I struggle a little more with the patton song.

After owning this album for 7 years, I just realized I haven't given it the proper attention.   Every now and then I get an album, listen to a few tracks, decide I don't like it to much, and it goes on the shelf.  Then, years later, I find it, throw it in, and it blows me away.  Crybaby is the perfect example.  What was I thinkin?  Oh yea, It was 7 years ago and I was a moron.  Anyhow, I'm pretty blown away by this record.  "Mine Is No Disgrace" and "Divorced" are top notch.  Actually, the whole record is really fucking good.

my exact experience with Honky.

[molotov]

My favorite album.

[suck poppet]

'gi joe' is the only one I don't like. I don't always listen to hank III. all the other songs are solid gold in my ears.  I can't believe more people don't seem to like the godzik pink part! I just listened to 'divorced' last night with earphones and it was like hearing it for the first time.

[rictus]

I was just listening to this album again and noticed the bass line from 'The Man With The Laughing Hand Is Dead' is exactly the same as the bass in 'A History Of Bad Men', just slowed down and minus the distortion. 

[norecess]

Yep, I knew that

[Leroy]

crybaby was the first melvins cd i bought, so i didn't quite like it as much as the others back then.

A glimpse of that riff appears much earlier in the Melvin's career too. Have  a listen to Vile on Ozma.
