The Melvins are fantastic. I've been on a bit of a binge today and they are slowly becoming a favourite of mine.

Prick is a very underrated one. I hate how so much of their stuff is out of print, what are these record company people thinking?

Prick is very experimental even by Melvin`s standards and sits in between the more accessible "Houdini" and "Stoner Witch" Prick is kind of an obscure very experimental taster for "Stoner Witch" I think that this is the best period for the band, no sludge metal collection is complete without these albums.

Still haven't heard Prick. Need to remedy that soon, then.

Stag also highly recommended with its customary experimental sludge metal, its also from the same period.

Another highly recommended listen is Lysol and includes a cover version of the classic Alice Cooper song "Ballad of Dwight Fry" to boot as well.

Yes! Stag is kinda hard to get though. Lysol is a classic. Bullhead and (A) Senile Animal are my favourites though, both 5 stars.

Very early Melvins despite the acclaim by fans were never my favs, I do like (A) Senile Animal though.

Bullhead isn't too early.
