Prick is the sixth studio album by the Melvins, which was released in 1994 through Amphetamine Reptile Records. It has been said that because the Melvins already had a contract with Atlantic Records, Prick was released with the band name in mirror writing, although they really did it just because they wanted to. The band wanted to call the album Kurt Kobain but changed it after Cobain's death to eliminate the possibility of people mistaking it for a tribute record. They implied that Cobain was actually the titular "prick", because he died and therefore forced them to change the album's name.
