The Crybaby is an album by Melvins, released in 2000 through Ipecac Recordings, and the last 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 lacks four songs: "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 Tool drummer Danny Carey and frontman Maynard James Keenan.
