Almost immediately, this record introduces itself as basically just abrasive, weird, trippy sounds. That's about the whole album. At least they have a crazy story.

Rofl that "Sweet Leaf" cover is monstrously funny. More monstrous than funny, actually, and that schema repeats itself over the course of the album. Once again, the 'Surfers cover many different genres, but this is their most anxiety-provoking record. This is partly due to the recording process: having built an in-house studio in Austin, Texas, the band could spend all the time they wanted on replicating their live performances - and do many bong hits breaks. It was still artisanal though, the whole album being recorded on an eight-track machine. The end result is an album that is always on the edge of crumbling under its own disgusted weight, as almost every song tries to be over-the-top, vulgar, aggressive, and psychedelic. A bunch of weirdoes creating a fucken weird album that somehow managed to be an enjoyable, if jarring, listen.

Easily the best of the Surfers. This is their darkest and most bizarre record. It's the most butthole one of all. It's not really about individual songs as there are very few. It's more about the album as a whole and how it flows into one giant acid trip from hell.

Surprisingly terrifying in more ways than one demonic baby performing cartwheels above the heads of reanimated carcasses, Locust Abortion Technician has just enough material during its 32-minute runtime to send chilling nightmares down the spine of even a hulking boogeyman on meat-flavored steroids. Its usage of the Gibbytronix vocal effects are astounding in the sense that a rocket ship crash landed into the Sea of Atlantis, while the instrumentation is sickeningly stunning. Butthole Surfers were probably one of the most innovative bands during their time, and this album might as well be sheer proof of the claim.

The most disturbing album I've ever listened to all the way through. "Sweat Loaf" and "Kuntz" are absolutely hilarious, while "Graveyard" is extremely disturbing. Worth checking out for anyone who wants to subject their ears to weird shit for 50 minutes.
