The Bootlicker

[LouiLoomis]

When I first brought Bootlicker I listened to it about 3 times and decided it wasn't for me. But last week I put in back in my CD player for some random reason and now I can't stop listening to it! I think it was because I thought it would be another The Maggot, and was disappointed when it wasn't. Anybody else had a similar feeling towards this fantastic album?

maybe i'm obsessive or something, but if i listen to one
of the trilogy CDs i just naturally play the other two as well.
fave tune on bootlicker has to be 'let it all be'. that song
just sounds like drugs to me.

[LouiLoomis]

That's why I listened to Bootlicker again in the first place, cause I'd listened to Maggot and Crybaby that day. 'Let it all be' is an absolutly amazing song although I'm also a big fan of 'Mary Lady Bobby Kins'. But I was very sursprised to see that song was actually wrote by The Melvins.

I think I am the only one who loves (it?) "Up the Dumper"....

[The Piss-Machine]

"Up the Dumper" gives me wood everytime I hear it. Don't forget "Black Santa"...the heaviest song ever written.

[Galvano]

Excellent album.
I love the "roomy" dry sound. (although they may have gone over the top on treble at times)

[klump]

hehe, I like that scratching sound in my ears

the melvins are masters of suspension, they push ALL of our buttons to the point of insanity and then they explode in cacophony(sic) of sound!

mmmmm....meat

So is there anyone here who didn't like it when they first heard it, and then grew to like it?

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bootlicker is my favourite of the trilogy... then crybaby, then maggot. Bootlicker, Stag and Stoner Witch were my first Melvins adventures period, happened to be well hitting the bong lots too.

yeah. that was me. Bootlicker was the third melvins album I heard (the other two were Stag & Maggot). I was more expecting somethign rocking. I first heard a friend's copy once, then bought my own about 2 years later. I love it. Perfect going-to-work-stoned music...

[anaconda]

'let it all be'. that song sounds just like drugs to me.

Your honor! I rest my case!!

[Uncle Fester]

just got the bootlicker today.
suprised at how much of a turn they take here.
it's taken me a while to actually get myself to listen to some of the trilogy..... iv heard crybaby and finally got to listen to bootlicker so far....  yeah im going backwards... starting from the last album, i know... it just so happened to work out that way.
discuss what you think of the bootlicker i guess.
