Our Take

Ah, Butthole Surfers, the band name alone is enough to grab your attention. But in their 1987 album "Locust Abortion Technician," the Texan outfit truly outdo themselves in terms of bizarre creativity and mind-bending experimentation.

From the opening track "Sweat Loaf," with its distorted guitars and eerie whispered vocals, it's clear that this album is not your average ride. The Butthole Surfers take you on a wild journey through psychedelic noise rock, sprinkled with the occasional dose of seemingly madness-induced brilliance.

Tracks like "Graveyard" and "Human Cannonball" showcase the band's ability to blend frenetic energy with a sense of impending chaos, while "Kuntz" provides a surprisingly mellow respite in the midst of the sonic storm.

But it's the title track "Locust Abortion Technician" that truly encapsulates the Butthole Surfers' unique style - a cacophony of screaming guitars, wailing vocals, and hypnotic rhythms that somehow come together in a twisted symphony of sonic dissonance.

Overall, "Locust Abortion Technician" is not an album for the faint-hearted. But for those willing to dive headfirst into the madness, it offers a thrilling and unpredictable listening experience that will leave you questioning both your sanity and your taste in music. Bonkers brilliance at its finest. 8.5/10.
