The Bootlicker (1999) The Crybaby (2000) The Trilogy Vinyl (2000)

The Crybaby is an album by The Melvins, which was released in 2000 through Ipecac Recordings. This album is part of a trilogy: The Maggot, The Bootlicker and The Crybaby. The Trilogy was released on vinyl by Ipecac Recordings (The Trilogy Vinyl, IPC-011, November 27, 2000).

"Dry Drunk" includes "Interlude" written and performed by Godzik Pink. On the CD version, after a few minutes of silence there is a spooky sample of the intro to "amazon" (the first song on The Maggot) after "Moon Pie", followed by more silence. The album ends with a man screaming "AGAIN!".

The Trilogy vinyl version features an edited version of "Divorced" and four songs are missing - "Dry Drunk", "Okie From Muskogee", "The Man With The Laughing Hand Is Dead", and "Moon Pie".

"Divorced" contains performances by the band Tool, as well as a conversation between Osborne and Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan.
