Prick is an album by The Melvins, which was released in 1994 through Amphetamine Reptile Records. The album was released under the band name "Snivlem" due to conflicts with a record label which prevented them from releasing any records as a band. The album was recorded as a way to finance the Stoner Witch sessions. It has been regarded as one of their worst recordings and displays much more of an experimental quality, in contrast to their more melodic material on the Houdini album. One critic referred to this release as "sadistic crowd manipulation" because of the large amount of noise present on the record and how disappointing this was to many fans.
