Take as Needed for Pain is the second album by American sludge metal band Eyehategod, released on November 22, 1993. According to Mike Williams, it was the favorite album of nearly all band members, and his favorite album title, with the exception of Poison Idea's Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes. It was reissued in 2006 as part of Century Media's 20th Anniversary series of reissues, with 6 bonus tracks, taken from rare 7" records and splits.
In 2009, the album was chosen as the number 1 sludge album by Terrorizer. The magazine commented that
| “ | The essential sounds of Tony Iommi drowning in a bath full of whiskey and dirty needles, it might lack the 'hits' of its successor but as a catalyst for the movement, it's utterly essential.[2] | ” |
