Prig is like a Throbbing Gristle Tribute, and the Album on the whole reminds me of Pink Floyd bigtime.

I presume it was Dave Scott Stone who showed how to do the trademark TG * Dragging the Violin Bow Across the open String sounding like someone Dragging a filing cabinet down a huge Hallway.*

The best album to listen to really late at night, half asleep with headphones.

I was listening to the Bootlicker when my son was about two and a half. He found the album to be quite taxing, but when Prig came on, he turned and looked at me and started doing this MC Hammer dance. He had this shocked look on his face, like "gee dad, I didn't know you liked GOOD music!". That was pretty awesome. If you have young'ns try this, and report back to me.  :P

I'd really like to hear The Bootlicker performed live. I could see it being epic as a late night set at a music festival. Obviously I am foolish and self indulgent but as we are in my fantasy land Kevin would return on bass as he would be essential to pull of this feat.

I saw them play a set similar to this level on the Maggot tour. They played The Green Manolishi and I seem to remember Tipping The Lion, June Bug and maybe Shevil.

They played this set and then Hovercraft came on. My friends split (they thought the Melvins were done). Then the Melvins came back for set 2 and rocked for about an hour and a half. D'oh!

They played and then Hovercraft played and then Melvins played again. That is wacko! I need to track down some shows from this time period. Thanks for the scoop!

It was killer. Had never heard Hovercraft before that night, so uh, I didn't know the lyrics?...

The Bootlicker is hands down one of the best Melvins releases. The originality and creativity of the songwriting is top-notch and I think the musicianship of Buzz, Dale and Kevin really shines. This and the Eggnog EP are in a constant battle for my favorite Melvins album, but lately this one has been my go-to.

For some reason it's hard for me to compare the Maggot and the Bootlicker.  I simply refuse to choose which one is the better one.  The Bootlicker has this great, ominous, subtle atmosphere which I can't really describe and the Maggot brings the HEAVINESS.   They're just two completely different masterpieces and without this contrast the trilogy wouldn't be as good.    And yeah, then there is the Crybaby... I think I should give it a few more listens.

Well said.

First Melvins album i ever heard too. Way back in the heady, glorious, youthful days of 2005. Ahhhhh the memories.
