from songs structure to sound,this is insane! especially if you consider it was released in 1989
I would say The Crybaby but since i dont really consider that to be proper Melvins, perhaps this one...

Although POTRE, Colossus and Electroretard are close contenders too.

Prick and Eggnog are the crazy albums.
don't forget honky!

don't forget honky!
i don't,my top three is (in no particular order,especially Ozma and Honky)
Ozma
Honky
Bootlicker
Hockey
Hicks of the Romanian Backwoods
Eggsack
Stab
Dick
Child of Destiny
The White Shit Order
Jingles 1-12
Man, there's even a lot of craziness going on on Bullhorn, Osmosis or most of the other (the) Melvins albums. Craziness abound.
Can't decide.
They all crazy ! That's why I like 'em !

Gooey Porn Treatments
White Power (Especially that HOW tune!)
NOT DEER (Especially the last 5 or so tunes, like Cottonmouth)
Shingles 1-12
Cow-lossus of Destiny
HAT Rack
Runny Eggs and a knife to the wife's throat, curteosy of a guy from the White family (Particularily PGX3)
lol here's another thread where every Melvins album is listed
nobody will mention the albums with biafra or the mangled demos,at least this is what i hope
Gotta say, Eggnog sounds like they were at a Taco Bell at the midway point of a 48-hour coke binge when they up and decided to record some songs in the men's room.

With lyrics like "titties made of clay" you almost have to include Never Breathe :?.
ya, that whole lyric is a bit messed up:
''Brazilian babes, titties made of clay
spread their waxy legs for Great Danes''
really Jello?? Really?? :-k
The albums with Biafra and The Mangled Demos.
the one that kurt cobain plays on. that ones the best...
kurts the best.
smash the state = awesomeness!!!
In terms of "crazy" do you mean; Awesome, because they are ALL awesome!!!
or by crazy you mean heavy as shit!
Bullhead is much more Crazy than Ozma, Eggnog is like adding nitrous oxide to Bullhead as Honky is like adding ketamine to Stag.
In terms of crazy, I should say that even buzz admits Prick is stupider than lou reeds metal machine sound ( I guess you gotta ask Lou Reed how you'd have to define the "craziness" of that album too)..OH, And SPEAKING OF CRAZY ;
so I hear Lou Reed is writing music for metallica recently. So really you should ask yourself
"is this Crazy, Or just Stupid?"

Oh Fuck Yes!!!
I'd throw "Paraquat Plus" 12" in there too ... awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

not heavy as shit,infact i think the bootlicker is one of their craziest. i meant unexpected,unpredictable,eccentric. i mentioned ozma because their songwriting during that era was so weird witch such crazy signatures..also mark d made that album to sound like nothing they have ever done,before and after that. melvins sound is usually fat,ozma sounds tiny
...although buzz thinks it sucks
I took crazy to mean out there, wacky, off the wall, weird, strange.
i think BSM is crazy as hell, musically it just nuts, all over the place

Of KOURSE it's crazy, man, it's totally fucking macro-performance art world-scale satire, maaannn. 8)
I would say the last two have been the craziest, in that (for me) they are almost unlistenable. And I like the off-kilter/unpredictable ones like COD, Stag, etc.
I think I am getting old though, so your results may vary greatly.
Yeh, I think I'm getting old too.
MAcro performance art thing,...fuck it...I USED to care...whatever you say.
Artists like to toot their horns all the time, I don't care anymore.
I know a few too many performance artists...and they are old too...and Fucked, some bordering on hoarder tendancies and witchcraft.
too many theatre events have softened their Manic hippie brains..not at all practical.
some of them have real mental disabilites, most of them ARE crazy, because of the frantic and pointless distractions in the modern world.
I tend to centre myself around a still little Zen Centre.
My favourite performance artist I've seen so far is Genesis P. orridges late wife Lady Jaye...WOW, she's MACRO-uber-doober whatever Legit man said.
Fuck it. what the hell do I know?
most people DON'T buy melvins Records, so they wouldn't "get" the whole Satire thing anyway, for all it's worth it mostly goes over everyones heads.
don't blame me, blame it on society. See I'm one of those people who "get" the whole slant of the satire, It's a long time coming, no one could beat you over the head with it better than the Melvins of course... of course it wasn't exactly something that just happens all of a sudden.
It took years of buying Melvins Albums and of course being a free thinking outsider had a lot to do with it.
I think the Title "the melvins" says it all.
what else DO you need to "get"?
I'm not out there looking to buy the next biggest thing either, I realized why I can't be happy keeping score many a year ago.
being a Musician myself I have a lot against the whole music/art Industry, but I realized I have never experianced ANYTHING similar to what the Melvins have been through.
So no, I don't think It's crazy at all, I think I makes perfect sense in fact. Case in point, I believe people spending 25 bucks on a Justin beiber or LAdy Gaga CD are fucking CRAZY!!!
It seems to be a paradoxical Irony.
as for World scale, the world is it's OWN stupid satire, I think the melvins are the Melvins satire of the melvins satire.
The answer is Honky.
*nod*
:cheers:
"honky," "COD" and "prick" are the obvious choices, but i always thought "stag" was the craziest, simply because atlantic put it out. that's gotta be up there as one of the most non-commercial albums released by a commercial label ever.
lets not overlook Electroretard, folks!
The Revolve version that sounds like Music from the X-files!!!
:lol:

ahah that's true
the most cray album is
HAT
Honorables:
Eggnog
Honky
I also think The Trilogy is pretty nuts, especially all the long electronic style interludes between songs. I feel they are on par with Stag on the weirdness tip.
To be quite fair tho, COD is definitely the weirdest one IMO.

(Said in Stewie Griffin Voice) Ewww is that a thing now? Belvins? Are we saying that now? Please no? Sounds like Mr Belvedere and the Melvins for fucks sake! lol
But if your going there Bulls and Bees is the best Belvins record man! :lol:
Honestly though, I've given this subject more thought. I am listening to Hung Bunny/Roman Bird Dog right now and I think Lysol might be the craziest for the time. Honestly, Ive always considered the two tracks one song. My LP never hadda tracklisting either. Shit is bonkers to make 1 song the whole side of an album. Granted, at the time Melvins fans were just slapped in the face by Bullhead and Eggnog. The first side is almost like COD only a melodic version! :lol: Then to have so many covers on the B side. Honestly for years I never knew Sacrifice wasn't their song, I think Flipper should really just sign it over to them tho :P Also, I know its sorta short to be called an album, but to me it has always felt like an album. (and I believe they consider it an album not an EP) Bottom line, The Melvins don't give a fuck, they just do shit their own way and Lysol was the first record to really show me that.

Lysol is a friggen masterpiece. That might have been the first one that really got me sucked in. It's just perfect. When it's over, it's like, there's really no use listening to anything else now because nothing can ever top that.
I don't know why I use the term Belvins. I don't think it's
a thing, I made it up in my head years ago when (A) came out and thought it was fun and clever. They're still Melvins, of course. I'm just silly like that and often amuse myself with word-play.
And yeah. Bulls & Bees just fricken owns like no business - with big business! (see? see what I did there? ;) ).
What a beauty of a record.
Mad shout out to Stag, too, but COD and Honky are still the
weirdest in my humble tiny opinion.
I haven't heard all of Honky yet, and what I have heard has been off youtube on my shitty computer speakers. I am very excited I finally got the record cheap and that its on its way as we speak. Can't wait to blast it on the good speakers off the turntables :D
Also mad shout outs to Stag but COD gets the gas face, unless it's the Endless Residency version which I highly approve of!

Listening now, and its just batshit crazy from start to finish.
The rest of their albums are perfectly normal.

I haven't listened to it for quite a while but im sure the rest of the record is pretty straight forward tho.
went to bed with my headphones on last night,listening to COD.this morning i felt super relaxed. tonight think i'll do the same with Prick
Quote from: black stallion on October 21, 2012, 07:03:58 AM

I've never done that and i doubt i could fall asleep that way. Although there are times when i've been music listening where i can feel myself getting a little sleepy or trancing out a bit.
i want to say COD or prick but those both from what i feel were attempting to be crazy fucked up albums. prick i thought was a way to fuck with atlantic to get them to put out a noise records but they wouldnt so amrep put it out because its still amazing. COD live record of a noise set, pretty straight forward, you know you arent getting a music record in COD. just my 2 cents.
IMO
Honky (high five black stallion)
Good point Cleveland!!!
I think most people agree COD, Prick, Electro Retard and Honky are all pretty weird....
But the only one of those I really like sitting down and listening to is Honky.
