| 3.9 excellent | Erwann S. EMERITUS | November 3rd 20 |
They were actually trying to do the worst possible record. In a way, they succeeded. This is fucking ugly. This is fucking grotesque. But this is kind of fascinating. Merging all their influences together in a messy-yet-cohesive set of songs ranging from surf rock to art punk to post-punk to traditional punk to noisy shit to psychy shit to country, they made sure that all songs tackle the same eerie and turgid ambience. On top of that, vocals come out as attempts to not sing at all. Singer Howler Gibby Haynes seems to be a hyperkinetic kid in serious need of sedatives. Weird stuff, but clinging to enough traditional elements to be more than an unlistenable mess. Before the term "noise rock" was even invented, Butthole Surfers came up with a solid psychedelic take on dissonance, feedback, and distortion.

Almost traditional by their standards.

Change in score primarily due to changed opinions of certain songs after prolonged listening. The primary driver of change is the track "Cowboy Bob" which I have taken to be a great song.

My favourite BHS. The dark side of L.S.D. Makes me want to jump off the walls or a roof(in a good way)!

I think this is the best album for people introduce someone to the weird stuff by the butthole surfers. This is not as awkward and amazing as LAT or HTS, but is pretty good too.
