The Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician 1987


















"Well, son, the funny thing about regret is
that it's better to regret something you have
done that to regret something you haven't done.
And by the way, if you see your mom this
weekend, will you be sure and tell her
Satan! Satan! Satan!"

So starts "Sweat Loaf", the bands skewed take
on Sabbath. This album is the one that got
me into the Buttholes.

Paul Leary's blistering guitar lines and Gibby
Haynes manical yelping and distorted singing
wormed their way into my head.

"Graveyard" sinks a riff that cannot be
forgotten, while "22 going on 23" is a
horrific radio interview by an abused
woman played over the devils rock'n'roll.
Once heard, even if you do not like it,
you will not forget it. Listen here
