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:
“O if we but knew what we do
When we delve or hew—
Hack and rack the growing green!
Since country is so tender
To touch, her being so slender,
That, like this sleek and seeing ball
But a prick will make no eye at all,
Where we, even where we mean
To mend her we end her,
When we hew or delve:
After-comers cannot guess the beauty been.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
