Locust Abortion Technician

As a former locust abortion technician myself, I can confirm that this record truly represents what an under appreciated role we have society. It really gives us a voice.

Worst one yet! My horizons are expanding but I don't want them to.

the first comment on youtube is this "My wife and kids not only hated it, they think I may have lost my mind. How do I tell them that this album touched my consciousness like a greasy finger dipped into a puddle - the oily rainbow slick instantly spreading accross the entire surface of my mind - altering, imbuing, opening. Perspective is the greatest gift we ever got." fair enough - it wasn't quite a greasy finger up the bum like this guy had but i did enjoy it.

I gave this a cursory listen and was about to mark it “1” and move on but the last few songs on the LP grabbed me. I liked the Asian sounding guitar work that kicks off Kuntz.  Also, the last song (22 Going On 23) is powerful. It sounds like a radio show where a very hurt and / or deranged woman calls in and the host has nothing useful to say to her.  It’s pure magic how the guitar playing captures the mood of the talk show dialogue. These two tunes motivated me to listen again and pay more attention and I'm glad I did. The album starts w Sweat Loaf. I quite like it but can’t for the life of me figure out why. The song transitions back and forth from quiet and almost whisper like  to aggressive and heavy. Nirvana later did this very effectively on Heart Shaped Box. The lyrics on Sweat are measured. This the case on most songs on this LP. No excess verbiage, no references to Greek Philosophers or obscure  contributors to the Bible. Nothing here is even one inch pompous and, if I remember correctly, being pompous was quite fashionable in 1987. In Graveyard, I like the distorted voice. It’s reminiscent of Black Sabbath’s Iron Man but I couldn't for the life of me (pardon the pun) understand the lyrics without my friendly  internet connection.  It’s a dark and creepy song which is up my alley. Another angst filled song  I also like is Human Cannonball  (although Human Cannibal seems to be the better name???)  By the time we get to U.S.S.A. and The O-Man the LP has disintegrated to the stage that all that remains is noise. The lyrics to U.S.S.A. are by any definition terse. The words are: U.S.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.S.R, U.S.S.A. No Pulitzer Prize coming anytime soon but I doubt they'd want one. The interesting part about using such terse lyrics is the listener can decide what the song's about. The words do evoke thought and I can think they have a meaning related to the Bay of Pigs while another person can think they relate to the different kinds of poverty and crime in the two then super powers. The beauty of simple lyrics is that the customer is always right. This is also the second album sent to us in the last week where barnyard sounds figure prominently. Hey if it’s good enough for Sgt Pepper . . . I told a friend about the LP tonight and as I was doing so I couldn’t help but worry that the fact I like this LP so much might cost me a friend. lol.

I gotta say fellas, this is some of the most fucked up shit. It has a vibe. And I do enjoy noise 4/5

the best part of this album is at the beginning when they sample a guitar riff from a competent band

Truly appalling. I own 1001 albums that are better than this and not on the list.

Here's a record that I feel like I should have listened to a long time ago. This is right up my alley; heavy, weird, funny, trippy. I love how it leans into how badly recorded it is, and goes heavy into the weirdness. Lots of effects and strange production techniques on what is a pretty punk album, which makes it sound like nothing else. I love the fired take on Black Sabbath ('Sweet Loaf'), plus the backwards tape, effects, sound effects and found tape. It is pretty unsettling, but there are songs o n here that rock pretty hard, and few memorable riffs (if no tunes to speak of). I've listened to this three times through today, and really dig it. (I do like that it doesn't outstay its welcome. 30 minutes is about perfect timing for it to barge in, mess your head up, and then ride off into the sunset.). I really would liek to give this 3.5 stars, but I can't, so I'm going to lean towards 4, because this was a lot of fun, and I will buy a copy next time I see one at a reasonable price.

My first Butthole Surfers experience. It's loud and I liked it. I've always heard of the band but never heard the music. I really loved the first track and how it sounds oh so similar to Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath...let me see, what was that song called. Oh yeah, Sweet Loaf. I liked this band right from the start! Ok, it took 1+ minutes, because of that slow load into the guitar riff. Ok, some of the songs have lyrics - I guess. I think they are saying something in "The O-Men" but It could just be nonsense... it doesn't matter. Their noise is interesting. Kuntz is a song sung in Thai... where'd that come from! I'm sure they picked the word because it sounds like cunt! Songs like Graveyard, pound hard and make me turn it up a bit more... I turned it up to 11 on a 10 scale :) There are some really interesting sounds in the song "Hay". Calling it a "song" is a stretch. It is more of an experience in sound than a song. Human Cannonball is probably the most "radio-worthy" song. It seemed like a complete song that I would easily expect to hear on College Radio back in 1987. It has lyrics you can understand too! Halfway through U.S.S.A. I smiled. That guitar riff, that nonsense babble just got me. The into of "22 going on 23" is baffling. She sounds more like 82 going on 83... Great guitar riffs throughout this one. Standout tracks: Sweet Loaf Human Cannonball.

Well, this is going to be a challenge. Well, actually no, it isn't. Whilst there are some challenging tracks, the album altogether just works. The Butthole Surfers are one of those verymost irritating of bands, in that they seem to just fart about. Nothing of them should work. They give no indication of ever putting any effort in, and yet they produce works of musical genius. They shouldn't be this good. Now, I'm not saying that they weren't hard working - but a million bands have worked just as hard (or harder) and not achieved what the Butthole Surfers managed to. Admittedly, Kurt Cobain said in an interview once that he liked them, and that probably helped quite a considerable amount. Luck is more of a factor than hard work, and "who you know" helps out an awful lot more than that. I can't not mention in this review though how Orbital sampled the opening lines from Sweat Load for their track "Satan". What a track. Beautiful. I'd genuinely had no ideas that it came from the Butthole Surfers.

Avant garde noise rock at its finest. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea and I totally get that.

A thundering volley of whingeing fuck knuckles.

I don't like the butthole servers much

Well it took about 10 seconds of each song for me to physically become ill. That’s not a good sign.

Nightmare Fuel. Recommended for fans of Sonic Youth, Ween’s pre-Chocolate and Cheese albums, LSD

Really weird and punk. Gave it a few rotations and loved it

Throw genre out the door because it has no place on this record. Perhaps we could call it noise punk; it certainly fits the punk ethos. This album conjures feelings of disconnection and seems to be a gross parody of music and society. However, for whatever reason, it really appeals to me and I throughly enjoyed this album.

That was a wild ride. A good time, but not one that I think I'll go on very often if ever again. Favorite Track(s): "Sweat Loaf" and "Graveyard" (the second one)

I was a few years late to this wonderful record, which always puts a smile on my face. and it did so again when it popped up for me here as the next album. Played it twice in a row while enjoying all the 1 star reviews.

## In-Depth Review of *Locust Abortion Technician* by Butthole Surfers *Locust Abortion Technician*, released in March 1987, is the third studio album by the American rock band Butthole Surfers. Known for their chaotic sound and irreverent themes, this album is a significant entry in the post-hardcore and noise rock genres. It showcases the band's experimental approach to music, blending elements from various styles while pushing the boundaries of conventional songwriting. This review will explore the album's lyrics, music, production, themes, and its influence on subsequent artists, along with an assessment of its pros and cons. ### Lyrics The lyrics of *Locust Abortion Technician* are characterized by their surrealism and dark humor. They often delve into taboo subjects and employ a stream-of-consciousness style that can be both perplexing and provocative. - **Surreal Imagery**: The lyrics frequently evoke nightmarish images, as seen in tracks like "Sweat Loaf," which parodies Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf." The song features a dialogue between a father and son that culminates in the father shouting "SATAN," encapsulating the album's blend of absurdity and horror. - **Themes of Violence and Trauma**: Songs like "22 Going on 23" incorporate disturbing narratives that touch on trauma and abuse, presented through a collage of found sounds and distorted vocals. This approach can be unsettling, as it juxtaposes personal anguish with chaotic musical elements. - **Gibberish and Absurdity**: Tracks such as "The O-Men" feature nonsensical lyrics that contribute to an overall sense of disorientation. The use of gibberish reflects the band's intent to challenge traditional lyrical forms and engage listeners in a more visceral experience. ### Music Musically, *Locust Abortion Technician* is an eclectic mix that defies easy categorization. The album showcases a range of influences from punk rock to heavy metal, all while maintaining an experimental edge. - **Genre Fusion**: The album seamlessly blends various genres, including sludge metal, noise rock, and psychedelic influences. This fusion creates a sound that is both chaotic and innovative. - **Production Techniques**: Recorded with minimal equipment—often using a single microphone and an 8-track recorder—the production captures a raw energy that enhances the album's abrasive sound. The lo-fi aesthetic contributes to the feeling of spontaneity and experimentation. - **Unique Instrumentation**: The band employs unconventional sounds and effects throughout the album. For instance, the use of tape loops and distortion creates a disorienting auditory experience that mirrors the lyrical themes of confusion and chaos. ### Themes The overarching themes of *Locust Abortion Technician* revolve around societal taboos, existential dread, and the absurdity of modern life. - **Irreverence**: The Butthole Surfers embrace a philosophy of irreverence, challenging societal norms through their provocative content. This attitude is evident in both their lyrics and their visual presentation, including the unsettling cover art featuring clowns reminiscent of John Wayne Gacy. - **Psychological Exploration**: Many tracks delve into psychological themes, exploring concepts such as trauma, identity crisis, and existential angst. The chaotic nature of the music serves to amplify these themes, creating an immersive experience for listeners. - **Cultural Commentary**: The band often critiques mainstream culture through their absurdist lens. This commentary can be seen in their playful yet critical approach to genres like metal and punk, which they simultaneously celebrate and subvert. ### Influence *Locust Abortion Technician* has left a lasting impact on various music genres and artists. Its experimental nature has inspired many musicians across different styles. - **Influence on Grunge**: The album is often cited as an influence on grunge bands in the 1990s. Artists like Kurt Cobain acknowledged the Butthole Surfers' impact on their work, particularly in terms of embracing chaos within songwriting. - **Noise Rock Legacy**: The album's commitment to noise as a musical element has paved the way for future noise rock bands. Its avant-garde approach has encouraged artists to explore unconventional sounds without fear of alienating mainstream audiences. - **Cultural Footprint**: Beyond music, *Locust Abortion Technician* has influenced visual art and performance art with its provocative themes and aesthetic choices. The band's live performances often included shocking visual elements that mirrored their lyrical content. ### Pros and Cons #### Pros - **Innovative Sound**: The album's eclectic mix of genres creates a unique listening experience that stands out in rock history. - **Provocative Lyrics**: Engaging with taboo subjects through surrealism encourages listeners to think critically about societal norms. - **Cultural Impact**: Its influence on grunge and noise rock demonstrates its significance within the broader context of music history. #### Cons - **Accessibility Issues**: The chaotic soundscapes and unconventional song structures may alienate casual listeners or those expecting traditional rock formats. - **Disturbing Content**: Some themes may be too graphic or unsettling for certain audiences, potentially limiting its appeal. - **Polarizing Reception**: While many praise its innovation, others view it as excessively chaotic or lacking coherence. ### Conclusion In conclusion, *Locust Abortion Technician* by Butthole Surfers is a landmark album that encapsulates the spirit of experimentation in late 1980s rock music. Its blend of surreal lyrics, innovative sound production, and bold thematic exploration has solidified its place in music history as both influential and controversial. While its chaotic nature may not resonate with everyone, it remains a vital work for those interested in the fringes of musical creativity. Through this album, Butthole Surfers have carved out a niche that continues to inspire artists seeking to challenge conventions and explore new sonic territories.

SATAN SATAN SATAN Great album

Punk as all hell

Strong 4. Dark and hard as nails. Not a huge huge fan of the pure noisy tracks but the feeling is understood. Standout Tracks: Pittsburgh to Lebanon, Hay, Kuntz, Graveyard (2), 22 Going On 23

Butthole Surfers. What a name. I don't like this, but I like it more than that Scott Walker album, it's more interesting. It's loud, dark, and aggressive, but there are a few bright spots. For the '80s, it's a little impressive. These guys clearly aimed to shock and offend. Sorry boys, I was just a little bored. Also, big shout out to Alden for discovering that Albino Andrew was in this band. Favorite tracks: Kuntz, 22 Going on 23 Album art: We love clowns, don't we folks? These clowns are having the time of their lives training a pup. I'd love it if this happy picture tricked some unsuspecting rubes into buying this. 2/5

Chaotic genius My favourite Buttholes album. I perfect mix of experimental weirdness that doesn't overshadowed some well crafted industrial grunge sludge that is strangely indebted to Sabbath

bom demais

Love the album. Reminds me of highschool.

this is fucking amazing! Noisy and wild. I listened to another album right away

Thus the Lord God showed me, and behold, He was forming a locust-swarm when the spring crop began to sprout. And behold, Jeremiah the technician prayed to Lord, and verily the Lord's wrath and pestilence was aborted. And thus sayeth Jeremiah unto the Lord... SATAN SATAN SATAN And replieth the Lord God... KUNT KUNT KUNT

Very nice!

Thought this would be my first 1-star based on the first few minutes of the first song but I actually ended up enjoying it - decent noise.

This album is an experimental blend of punk rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic music. The music is creative as the band recorded everything themselves, but it's also supported by great guitar playing. The entire album was a trip, whether that be nightmarish or awesome, is up to the listener to decide. For sure an interesting album nonetheless.

You know, I think these guys were on to something here. Oops, sorry. I meant on something. These guys were ON SOMETHING when they made this album, and whatever it was didn't enhance their creativity or musical abilities!

I could write all day about this band and my relationship with them. This is not the Butthole Surfers album I would have picked if I could put only one on the list, but it is still a fucking amazing album that showcases both how offputting and weird they can be, but also their alchemic ability to make something weird and upsetting be enjoyable to listen to. It starts off hot with Sweat Loaf, a song that occasionally explodes into noise and a guy yelling the word Satan over and over before sliding into gentle melodic guitar parts. That sums it up pretty well. You never know where this bus is going next, and you always have the feeling that it might drive straight off a cliff at any moment, and then every once in a while it opens up into a vista so beautiful that you see it in your bones, and then you look closer and see that said vista is actually just painted on the side of a dilapidated porno theater 5/5

Heavy metal meets hardcore. Butthole Surfers are committed to irreverence and experimentation in equal measure. They want to make a lot of chaotic noise, push the boundaries and also mess with you a bit. The music is wild and brilliant. “The O-Men” is a mad piece of hardcore absurdism sung in gibberish. It feels like walking through a nightmare funhouse. Oof, this last track is pretty devastating with the voices of women talking about abuse on top of the music. From the opening Black Sabbath cover through every weird twist and turn this album takes, I was continually surprised and delighted. Heaven help me, I think this might be a masterpiece. Great album cover.

The noise and the rage and the knowing smirk straight at the audience. These guys knew exactly what they were doing. I love that Mr. Peppermint's son cut this path for himself.

This album is nucking futs.

I've never listened to this album before and it's amazing

Well. They sure are insane! I think it would be a terrible idea to listen to this if you're not sober lmao. I am well aware that there are albums of similar quality that I would rate lower but turns out this is just my kind of noise... but just enough of it. As a short album, it works. Super experimental, really interesting and just... so, so strange

Great. 5/5

Be sure n tell her, SATAN

Cannot go wrong with these guys

Pittsburgh

bold of me to listen on my work laptop. What a grimy album. No notes. 5 stars.

Yeah surf da buttholez

epic madness

I knew I’d get a surfers album eventually, absolutely enjoyed it and listened a second time through! 5/5 recommend. It’s short and sweet, and Sweat Loaf is a great song

It's rare a band min-maxes into both the experimental and fun stats, but my god they do it. They could surf my butthole any day.

Weird, abrasive, fuzzy, and shocking. The guitar sound is superb, as is the playing. I think I love it.

Happy day 365 to me and I’m blessed with a masterpiece. This is SO good. Don’t trust the haterz.

First I thought, are my headphones broken? But no, amazing

Love this album

cool

5.0 - This horror-psychedelic blend of sludgy guitars, demented imagery, raw noise and bizarre recordings hits me like a gut-punch. Perhaps it's my jaded ears but I'm loving this shit. Standouts: "Pittsburgh to Lebanon", "Kuntz", "22 Going on 23."

I love this album name so much

this i should like and do a lot

This is an enjoyably catchy mismash of noise and avant-garde punk tunes. A bit too old to change my life at this stage, but I can see how kids in the '80s found it revolutionary. To top it off, I recognized "22 Going on 23" from an old mixtape, Mark! Great stuff

yknow in like, cartoons or teenybopper sitcoms when the characters knock over a vase, and they gotta glue and duct tape it back together and comedically hope that the owner of said vase don't notice that it's been shattered into a million pieces? the Butthole Surfers knocked over rock music on purpose, tried to tape it back together on Locust Abortion Technician, and it is now your duty to see how long you can humor them and pretend it's still rock and not a pile of shattered debris on a pedestal.

I’d be satisfied giving this a 3, but in order to spite Kevin it’s a 4/5.

I would say it’s a 3.5 for me, I enjoyed my listen but I don’t see myself coming back to the album as a whole, maybe some of the specific tracks like “Kuntz” and “22 going on 23.” But I’m giving a four just because of how interesting an experience the whole album is

Apparently I enjoy the Butthole Surfers. The band! Don’t be lewd.

It's two genres that were never meant to be combined. Surf rock and punk are too different. But(thole haha jk im so funny) I do give them credit for trying. just doesn't work out in the end

Now here is a band that I was really not sure I wanted to listen to back in the day when a friend recommended them. But they were, and still are, up my ally as far as style goes. A bit on the edge sometimes but generally within my groove zone. Sometimes you have to trust a friend even with a band who's name and song titles can be a bit... suspect! Just for info: I think they are like a post-punk, veering towards the light and not the darkness metal, or harder alt-rock style. But you decide!

Well that was weird. The actual music in here was really good, sort of noisy punk, considering when it comes out must be really influential. Seems like they decided to intersperse the music with the maddest/funniest stuff they could think of, which is laudable but doesn't make it an easy listen. If their later albums trim out the weirder stuff I could definitely be a fan but this album is too odd for me.

I appreciate some aspects of this really noisy/abrasive album. The sweet leaf riff on "sweet loaf" is funny. The whole thing is played really raucous and aggressive. Yet this is also to it's detriment. I don't know how often I'll revisit this but for being one of the lowest rated bands/albums on this site I think it's a decent noise record.

this is where a career in STEM could take you kids

Clearly a really influential album for some big grunge artists of the 90s, I love the almost broken guitar sounds, huge fuzz and mad reverse sections and messed up vocals. Can't say it will be an album I will go back to time and time again but from an influence, production and pure madness point of view this deserves recognition. Gets a boxbat special 3.5 from me

Succeeding at being rubbish on purpose.

Something about this feels creative, but it's too chaotic for me to rank too highly. Sounds like if the devil's cousin made a band that's trying to make it big

The Sweat Leaf riff is a good start if you wanna get college radio play. The noise rock is a bit hit & miss. I liked “the O-Men”. “Hay” not so much. It seems to me that their only contribution to the Phloen Phromdaen song was turning it into toilet humour. I would give this a higher mark, if not for “22 going on 23.” While I think it’s at times unfair to look at lyrics through a 2020 lens, building a song around (and mocking) a woman’s recounting to a radio host of how her rape gives her nightmares was surely over the top even way back in 1987. It’s too bad because the song itself is well-realized, so dark and heavy, and since so many US radio talk shows are also dark and heavy, there should have been no shortage of other material (though it might not shock and disgust to the same extent).

Some of these songs made me want to jam a screwdriver into my ears to make it stop. Some were okay.

Another one of those albums make me question the office mentality when putting this list together. I have quite a wide ranging vocabulary but even I'm struggling come up with words that adequately describe this utter bowl of sputum that has been delivered. To call it noise is actually insulting the concept of noise itself so i'm left describing it as the biggest pile of horseshit I have ever encountered put together by the largest bunch of fuck knuckles. And there You have it, Only the fact I'm obliged to give it one star, but I do sir but I am doing so reluctantly having had my fingernails pulled out with a pair of pliers and my ears syringed with hydrochloric acid.

Fuck yeah, Locust Abortion Technician! I have had this album permanently saved to my spotify sidebar for a decade now, it's a masterpiece of noise rock. I'm skipping a lot of backlog 'cause I've heard and loved this album before and I'll love it again. It's weird, it's mind-shattering, it's probably best heard inebriated, it's SATAN SATAN SATAN, it's fucking awesome.

Completely taken me by surprise. Incredible album

Pure, beautiful chaos for my brain—count me hooked.

almost nothing in music writing will make u feel more like a dumbass than trying to put down words about a butthole surfers record, because its made of so many evocative parts and yet what are u supposed to even say about it. ig ill just say that part of the draw is that even compared to other artists theyre compared to, this album just constantly refuses to bother making recognizable Songs...not to litigate the definition of a song, but there's a different feeling between the relatively fully formed classic Human Cannonball and all the tracks where they find one riff or silly noise that they have fun making and just do that until it gets boring, which they clearly have a very low threshold for FHJSFHJSF. it rly is a record of far more Indulgence then the most outsized prog epics could ever be...no pretensions towards what the end product will even look like or how it will come across to people who are not the present tense Them. its hard not 2 have a good time!

An insanely good album

Sataaaaaaaaaaaan 10/10

This album was banging proper weird in all the good ways loved it

Gibby Haynes - fuck yeah

How did a band with such a dumb name produce such a smart album?

Sweet Loaf, og Sweet Leaf med Black Sabbath. Begge er fede! Enormt punk at have 2 numre med den samme titel på det samme album. 😂 Det er tæt på Resident til tider, men her groover det bare også. Håber virkelig at mine naboer, og familien kan lide det her halvt så meget som mig, for det her er en den perfekte 5er for mig. Det var ukendt, det overraskede mig, det variere helt vildt meget, jeg keder mig aldrig, og men vigtigst, det er kort! Kort nok til at jeg har hørt det 4 gange idag.

Just beautiful crafted noise. I love this record!

I had no idea these guys were doing things in the 80s. That's cool. I'm liking this one so far. Especially the first track. "And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, will you be sure and tell her SATAN!!!! LOL. It's got such a cool intro. All slow and cinematic sounding. A bit mysterious. this secong one is cool too! Human Cannonball was awesome had that punk sound. U.S.S.A...KMFDM has a song called that. Man this is so different from the stuff I knew from them first which was that Pepper song. Welp, giving this one 5 stars!

It was definitely weird at first. But was over before I realized it. Fun music to zone out too.

Sounds super interesting

I’ve only known Butthole Surfers for their more popular tracks, especially when they started getting radio play back in my middle and high school days. That’s when all my friends were listening to them, but I never really gave their albums a chance because they felt like a more commercial, polished version of experimental music. At the time, I was already diving into more extreme avant-garde artists like John Zorn. Listening to this album now, I was surprised by how good and experimental it is, but in a DIY, punk, and sludgy way. If I’d heard this back then, my perception of the band probably would’ve been very different.

perskarvoilla kickflippejä ja muuta hyvää ruokaa

Ok I actually liked this one a lot more than I expected. It's dark, heavy, murky, disturbing, yet full of absurdist humor. So it's not going to be one that I play at a dinner party but as lofi, cheaply made, ridiculous sonic experiments go, it's brilliant. Honestly the most off-putting element to me is the album cover. But the music is fantastically weird. It's not great in an objective sense, but I love it for it's unashamed rupture with anything radio-friendly. Surprisingly I only previously knew The Butthole Surfers from their 90s hit "Pepper" which did get a lot of radio play at the time. This album is a lot more niche, to put it mildly. If it makes you uncomfortable, take comfort in the fact that you're in the majority. But if you manage to see something in it, you're still in very good company. Kurt Cobain listed this as one of his 50 favorite albums. Not bad for a group of guys experimenting at home without the benefit of a recording studio.

I don't know what the fuck I just listened to, but I like it.

I enjoyed this album.

Why do I like this? 4/5 - sweat loaf forever

Holy shit what a wild ride! There are so many crazy things going on with this album it will take many listens to unpack it all... I love the bluesy doom/stoner rock sound of Pittsburgh to Lebanon. From there it feels like a psychedelic trip until Human Cannonball which rocks. The rest of the album feels like a bad psychedelic trip, but the wild experimentation is fascinating. They include a lot of elements from genres I love. I had already been interested in listening to this since it was in Kurt Cobain's top 50 album list from his journals.

I’ve been a Butthole Surfers fan for years. I get the criticisms that their music is inaccessible. It’s definitely not dinner party music. But, I love how much they explored what you can achieve sonically in the studio when you don’t feel constrained by formulas.

A really interesting record

Cool- another big example of seeing their influence on other bands

I listened to this whole thing thinking I had heard one of their albums earlier on the list, just now finding out it was Circle Jerks! OK, then this is my first time hearing this band. I was mistaken expecting this to be hardcore punk. I wish I didn't wait two days to write the review because I've forgotten most of it, but at least I remember I decided on a 4/5, and I will listen again.

Man... brings back memories. Still, not anything extraordinary musically, but 4 it is!

Pepper. The band that did pepper. I knew these guys were a little left field but nowhere near this. This is legit so ahead of its time in the mid 80s. All the pre recorded stuff playing all over the thing. Wtf is that? The chugging metal riffs. The more punk inspired stuff. This is alot of what I want. Not perfect but very very good. My only problem is in all this experimental stuff it really just leaves you with 2 songs. Maybe 3. Oh well. I loved it all the same

Can’t believe I’m giving an album titled Locust Abortion Technician this score
