Prick (album)
Prick is the sixth album by the Melvins, which was released in 1994 through Amphetamine Reptile Records. Due to record label conflicts that prevented the band from releasing any records under the name "Melvins" the album was released with the band name in mirror writing. The album was recorded as a way to finance the Stoner Witch sessions and displays a distinctly experimental quality. The band wanted to call the album Kurt Kobain but changed it after Cobain's death to eliminate the possibility of people mistaking it for a tribute record. Melvins also jokingly remarked that Kurt actually is the titular "prick", because he died and therefore forced them to change the album's name.

Famous quotes containing the word prick:
“Have we no culture, no refinement,—but skill only to live coarsely and serve the Devil?—to acquire a little worldly wealth, or fame, or liberty, and make a false show with it, as if we were all husk and shell, with no tender and living kernel to us? Shall our institutions be like those chestnut burs which contain abortive nuts, perfect only to prick the fingers?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
