The Bootlicker is the eleventh studio album by the Melvins, released in 1999 through Ipecac Recordings. [4] [5] The album is the second part of a trilogy preceded by The Maggot and followed by The Crybaby. [5] [6] The trilogy was later released on vinyl by Ipecac (The Trilogy Vinyl, IPC-011, February 7, 2000).
The Bootlicker was conceived as a more pop-oriented album; The Maggot was marked by a traditional Melvins metal sound, while The Crybaby featured many guest appearances. [7]
The Los Angeles Times wrote: "While The Maggot offers more familiar-sounding, metal-tinged sludge, The Bootlicker is a musically richer collection with rock, funk and jazz underpinnings." [5] The Riverfront Times called The Bootlicker "one of the best rock albums of the year: truly beautiful and intelligently (but not pretentiously) presented." [8] Tucson Weekly called it "subdued, dark and kind of pop-y sounding in spots." [9]
