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 digital 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".
