| Foetus LPs ranked | 10 | | Foetus Soak
The best song on here, "Mesmerin", still is pretty weak. The cover of "Warm Leatherette" is super terrible. Too much opera, too many covers, and no fun moments.
2/5 | 9 | | Foetus Love
Love is definitely the "boring" Foetus album, but "Thrush" (featuring Jennifer Charles) is awesome. "Mon Agonie Douce" is pretty good too. It just drags on too long. And what's with that song about the Confederacy? lol
2.5/5 | 8 | | Foetus Gash
Foetus' major label album. It breaks the black, white, red, and grey (and sometimes yellow) theme hard. But man does "Slung" rule. It's too "metal" and too lengthy though. I definitely prefer a more industrial punk Foetus than an industrial metal Foetus.
3/5 | 7 | | Foetus Deaf
The first 2 tracks are some of Foetus' best, but most of this has "humble bedroom project" written all over it, for better or worse. Might sometimes hurt my ears.
3/5 | 6 | | Foetus Thaw
This one's a favorite of a lot of people and I get why, but it definitely started off Foetus' "kinda metal" era. "Don't Hide It Provide It" is a powerhouse though, can't deny that. "Hauss-on-Fah" might be too stupid and that's me saying this.
EDIT: "Hauss-on-Fah" has world-salady racist lyrics too? I knew I was right to hate it! I felt it in my bones!
3/5 | 5 | | Foetus Hide
A decently strong comeback from Love, though it's definitely a bottom-heavy album. Legit the final 4 tracks are the album's best. "Here Comes the Rain" is very lame, but I mean "You're Trying to Break Me" is top 5 Foetus, so it more than even outs.
3.5/5 | 4 | | Foetus Ache
Like Deaf, this one reeks of amateurism, but it's also just so damn fun. "J.Q. Murder", Mark of the Ostracizor", "Instead...I Became Anenome"????? Sometimes you just need to hear a guy frantically shouting over some raw keyboard jangles.
4/5 | 3 | | Foetus Flow
This has Foetus' best song "Suspect" on it and has so many directions. Maybe it's a little too all over the place to rank higher but "Grace of God" and "Cirrhosis of the Heart" are such weird, yet perfect songs to be on an industrial album. I really dislike that opener, sadly.
4/5 | 2 | | Foetus Hole
Takes everything fun about Deaf and Ache and finds a more professional sound for it. "Water Torture", "Sick Man", and "Street of Shame" are all huge jams.
4/5 | 1 | | Foetus Nail
This album feels like an actual statement and labor of love. "Descent into the Inferno" feels like Foetus' signature song and "Enter the Exterminator" captures Foetus' edgy creepy tendency better than basically any other song in the catalog. It's surprisingly cohesive given how chaotic the albums surrounding it are.

10.17.23 | Gash's artwork really fucks the theme up | SomeCallMeTim
10.17.23 | reads lyrics to Hauss On Fauh once | SomeCallMeTim
10.17.23 | Suspect does bop tho | ArsMoriendi
10.17.23 | I felt weird about hating "Haus" before since it has a seemingly appealing goofiness to it, but after reading the lyrics, I now can more openly hate it. Thanks Tim!
Terrible lyrics, jesus | DadKungFu
10.17.23 | Camp racism ie "let's look at how absolutely trashy this attitude is and revel in it" is very of its time yes but hauss on fah is still a bop | ArsMoriendi
10.17.23 | Too many good Foetus songs to get hung up on Hauss |
