Locust Abortion Technician

Why is this on here?

Pretty Awful

Just not my thing

Not for me.

The first track starts with 30 seconds of silence, which I thought was kind of fucked up because I was worried that there was something wrong with my speakers. But after listening, that silence was by far the best part of the album.

thank god it was short USSA might be one of the worst things ive heard last song was decent

2/10. Sounds exactly how it sounds like it'd sound.

This album tells you what it is in its title. Believe it. 2/10

Yuck. Why is this noise on the list???

Funny band name. Horrible album. Just awful and grating on my ears. Were they making fun of sexual assault? Double gross if so.

I know what to expect from this band and yet I still can't find a way to appreciate it. Like, I can't understand how presumably a group of people and a not insignificant amount of money went into hiring producers, sound engineers, studio time, agents, etc to produce this and print it on LPs, cassettes, whatever. I am left wondering what I'm missing, or whether I'm really missing anything and people who like this sort of thing are suckers.

I’ll be brutally honest. I hated every second. So much wasted potential with the talent of the artists. I don’t know if they just didn’t care, or too many drugs. Incoherent.

Un mauvais moment à passer parmi tant d'autres

album captivant de la part des surfeurs trouduc

Better stuff surfs out of my butthole

15th May 2023 Listened during the day while working from home. Busy day, house bits after then Liverpool Leicester. Everything about this is anarchic. From the band name to the song Kuntz. But not in a good way.

Puuuh Made me laugh now and then but overall a really annoying piece of mischief

I never got into these guys, and I’ve always found myself skipping their songs or changing the station to avoid them. That was just brazen naked prejudice on my part. Never liked their name because it sounded so immature and “try-hard” to be cool. I gave this entire album a full listen today and can confidently say I’ve been right this whole time. They SUCK! It was a bunch of infantile nonsense. There was one semi-decent riff that barely lasted long enough to give my ears a reprieve from all the asinine stupidity emanating from this “record”. The book and its cover were appropriately judged and dismissed a long time ago.

Didn’t do much for me

Did not finish. Did not enjoy

I’m glad I stayed until the end, as The O-Men and Kuntz were both quite fun. Did they make up for the half hour of dogshit beforehand? No, absolutely not

why

1... I'm sure they weren't trying

Wow. This fucking SUCKS. How on earth did this make the list? I'd give it zero stars if I could.

This just sounds like some young guys screwing around…unless I’m missing the hidden genius that got it on the list. Nothing memorable, nothing melodic.

No thank yewwwww

Nii tää levyhän oli vitsi

Could not get through it

Sounds like a bunch of young children who’ve discovered if they mix all the paint together they can make some fairly horrible colours.

What an utter piece of shit album. They so clearly wanted to be a shock rock band just SO badly. That was telegraphed sufficiently by both the band and album names. But they failed. It wasn't good enough to be shocking. You have to be able to take something seriously to be shocked by it. I couldn't take this seriously. It was too amateurishly awful. Just a flaccid mess of an album. What a waste of time.

These guys must have laughed so much taking the utter, utter piss. It’s a prank call of an album. Music for Beavis and Butthead? Or Terence and Phillip? Spongebob? This music – I am sure – brings on the laughs for juveniles who’s mood is heavily pharmacologically enhanced. Music with a purpose. But I can see how its in the bottom 15 albums after 12 million votes. Its tormenting. [P.S. “Pepper” their moment of genius. Isn't on this album.]

I didn't want to give this one star. There are 1-2 songs that are actually good. And I really appreciate the desire to be as weird as possible...but I did not enjoy this at all. It was an extremely unpleasant experience. I understand transgressive art is needed sometimes but I do think the last song is in very bad taste. This sounds like what it is: a bunch of wild dudes on drugs trying to be as weird as possible.

Iceman: "You can surf my butthole any time." Maverick: "Bullshit! You can surf mine."

Hate

Random noise and ripped off riffs - not worth my time

If i want to induce insanity. Will enjoy again.

It’s a no from me

No need to listen to this before you die - just go ahead and die, it's not worth staying alive for. Possibly the worst album so far and I'm 459 albums in, so there's been some pretty stiff competition.

I can see similarities between this and very early Flaming Lips. Both are very experimental and represent "An Enthusiasm for Recording... by Amateurs". The implication of the Flaming Lips album title being that their early experimentation was largely down to not knowing how to write or make music in a conventional way. I don't know if this is also true of BHS, but even if it is, it does not invalidate the content. It is just the lack of actual songs or anything enjoyable to the human ear that makes this album difficult to like. Although being enjoyable isn't a prerequisite for being good (many great albums are difficult listens), I did not find the hard work required to get through this album to be in any way in an interesting or rewarding. Rating: 1/5 Playlist track: Human Cannonball Date listened: 29/12/22

Reading ‘Locust Abortion Technician’ told that this album would be interesting, if nothing else. “Butthole Surfers” is a hard name to avoid if you’re into music but I’ve never heard a song by them before. I’m not sure if what I got was also what I wanted or if I even like it that much. I guess I was expecting more of a skate punk album a la NOFX or maybe CKY but this is more gothy post punk sound. Actually it almost sounds like a parody of that style, like they’re making it sound somehow more cynical. Experimental is putting it lightly. Some songs even had me wondering if there was a problem with my internet connection because it would randomly just change speeds and sounds without any thought or preparation. Ultimately this album was too much of nothing for me. I’m curious what makes this a must-listen because I don’t feel like I got much of anything out of this one. Favorites: Human Cannonball, Graveyard

idiot music

Butthole Surfers are like white noise

I suffered through it. There was maybe one song that was tolerable. The rest just didn't need to be made.

Yikes.

Fuckin awful. Influential on the noise music thing probably but broadly unlistenable or annoying or lazy or attention seeking or dull never musical or evocative or moody or exciting. Not me, not anyone.

I did not enjoy this one bit.

I'm only familiar with their big hit(s) and was interested to see what they were about. What I got was an onslaught of loud random noises and stupid vocals. I haven't given a 1 for an album in awhile but I had to skip multiple songs because of how annoying they were. Not a fan.

garbage

Too moody and expiremental for my tatses

Normally I am that kind of guy giving shit like this 5 stars, but it seems like I finally found my limit of weirdness I can tolerate with this album. There is absolutely nothing that I can enjoy on this record.

This ain’t for for me dawg

Yea. I couldn't do it. Too much chaos.

Well this is a weird album. The Butthole Surfers experiment with a lot of different sounds here. None of which are very appealing to me. The poor dog in the album cover.

Album cover like art at a Salvation Army, tracks like a cheese grater to the ears

I love the Beatles, but Revolution #9 was never my cup of tea. And this album is like #9. A cacophony of sounds.

Ugly, ugly

One of the worst albums. Only one song was not completely unpleasant and awful. Geez, why is this even in the list?

Sucked

Pure shite.

0. I had to shut it off.

Did not like

Can you give 0 stars?!

Oh God

A perfect example of a band trying to be extreme just for the sake of it. The result is embarrassing. Sorry, I don't have time for this. 1/5

ah cara, geralmente eu gosto de coisa experimental, mas isso é dificil de gostar, exagerado pra caralho, pesado, é quase um instrumental noise punk, se é que isso existe. enfim, não é meu tipo de musica e duvido que seja o de alguem lucido. mesmo assim, as guitarras são fodas para um caralho. ultima nota: eu posso estar errado, mas eu acho que a bateria é quase sempre a mesma em todas musicas, conceito legal se for isso

Some fun and interesting music occasionally ruined by vocals. I'm sure I'd like it better if I didn't understand any of the lyrics. Highlights: Weber (35 seconds, no lyrics), and Human Cannonball.

It's difficult for me to give a f*** about a bunch of guys who go out of their way to not give a f***, but are trying too hard to accomplish not giving a f*** because they actually give a f*** about not giving a f***. 1 star for the ironic effort.

Ook duurde de plaat maar 30 minuten, ik was er al heel snel klaar mee.

A pleasant surprise in that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still pretty bloody awful.

I needed to hear this to know what real crap is?? Please put back in the butthole, this cannot be essential to hear

Human Cannonball is great - 5 stars - but the other songs are not only less catchy - they are completely unlistenable. (10x1+1x5)/11 stars

Cba

Weird album.

Terrible album. Were there even words!?!? I just heard so mumbles and sounds. Yuck

I gave it a chance but it was more noise than some edgy tunes

Unlistenable drivel

Hated it. just so much unnecessary noise. I get the experimentation and the new way of being punk but this felt just stupid to me.

Another wtf album 😂

The only listenable track was "Human Cannonball". The rest is just crap.

What a dumb and easy inflammatory band name and album title. I think that's sort of their "thing." I don't care. I dislike this as much as everything else I've heard from the Butthole Surfers. Even when they had that one hit "they were all in love with dying and they were doing it in Texas" or whatever, I wasn't interested. I don't take them seriously, and I think they would probably be happy to hear that. So, I'm sure they're fine with 1/5.

I remember hearing about these "buttholes" (and seeing them a little on MTV) when I was a child. Even then they struck me as dumb. A name like Butthole Surfers is a desperate grab for attention, so I purposely never listened to them. Their music is also a desperate grab for attention. I hate it.

lots of noise, not a lot of melody

Too tough

1/5 - Dogshit

Don’t like this genre tbh.

Lol no

What the...

I hate the butthole surfers. My God, I hate the butthole surfers. I guess if I'm being generous it was an experimental album but there are certain things that haven't been done FOR A REASON, the reason being that it sucks. And that's how I felt about this one. My God, I loathed this one. I don't have a favorite track because I hated all of it. One star is too much for me. I don't get it, it sounds to me like noise.

Aun conociendo el contexto e perimental y algo diy es claramente un sindentido opiaceo. Mal

Bruuf 1

sometimes its ok, but most times not

Another dud. Atonal angry, not music to my ears

This is bad.

I actually kind of like Gibby Haynes, but this album is an absolute mess. I consulted the book to see why it was on the list, and the reason is basically that it's weird as hell. I went from Muddy Waters one day to this the next. No. Best track: Human Cannonball

I don't know. It's gets a bit more interesting near the end. Especially 22 going on 23. Just the whole thing was kind of noise, and I really fucking that "It just sounds like noise." But this one really does to me. Maybe I missed the point? Either way I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I'm not upset I listened to it. At least now I can complain about fucking weird and unlistenable I find it.

Locust Abortion Technician is an experimental blend of punk rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic music.[3] This fusion led the band to be associated with the emerging grunge and sludge metal sounds.[4] It also employs elements of worldbeat rhythms,[3] noise music,[4] progressive guitar,[4] and folk music,[4] and has been described as art rock,[3] noise rock[4] and alternative metal.[5] The song "Sweat Loaf" utilizes a warped riff parodying the verse riff from the Black Sabbath song "Sweet Leaf".

Really not in the mood for this

Kuraa mitä kuraa. Jos levyllä on pari kohokohtaa, joista ajattelee, että eihän tää oo kuin vähän huonoa, niin ei voi paljoa yli ykköstä tarjota. Turhan kokeellista tavaraa.

Tuttu nimi, ja kuvittelin tämän olevan jonkinlaista ska/funk/punk tyyppistä rentoilua. Valitettavasti olin väärässä, ja korviin lyötiinkin levyllinen jotain todella epämääräistä progeoutoilua. Ei kyllä maistunut yhtään vaikka pariin kertaan levyn taistelinkin läpi. Human Cannonball oli muusta linjasta poiketen ihan kuunneltava biisi. Parasta levyssä oli vain 32 minuutin mitta.

Reminding myself that it's perfectly fine to hate this and still love the Beastie Boys. I don't completely hate it, but the old adage remains true. A little of the Butthole Surfers goes a long way. I'm also 99 percent sure I'll never listen to this album again.

As an album it’s weird. As a style and based on year it’s ahead of its time but I still don’t like it. 2.6/10

Garbage... couldn't sit past first track

nah

Nope

Verwarrend, opnieuw.

een extra sterretje voor de originaliteit, wat het resultaat voor dit kakofonische album op 1 ster brengt...

Trash

Offensive Cover title, song names and lyrics. They earned a big thumbs down. They must have been craving ways to shock an unshakeable group of groupies. Middle schoolers using DJ mixer studio apps made this type of music in the 90’s when I was teaching. Leave the Locust alone.

Didn't think I'd get two dumpster fires in one week but I guess that's what happens when you hire clowns to give locusts abortions.

Just mindless playing an inaudible lyrics. Horrible. Great band name tho. 1/10.

I can’t decide between using trash or garbage to describe this. 1 star is earned for its short length that offers me mercy after this torture.

Infumable

Like listening to a seizure. Would not recommend.

Didn't much enjoy this record. Interesting adding the layering of tape machines to hardcore.

Una mierda, como Green Day fatal

No thanks

This should be the last album on the list, because it made me want to die.

Not for me.

Bruh gimme something good pls

Just awful. Maybe one track that could be described as an actual song, human cannonball. Oh and the other song where they just said cunt the whole time. Painful

I don't understand. I just don't.

Weird...just weird

just angry noise

Atrocious

Wish the music was as cool as the band name

No

"tell her satan satan satan" and i know i wont like this this is so confusing, is this even music, i dont think ill listen to this again hmmm the start of kuntz isnt that bad, kinda ethnic, what language is this but why does it have to do that in the middle i dont get it im still confused forgone loving, only pain bam bam bam there seem to be complicated riffs? im not literate enough to appreciate them tho. also i hate the dental instrument sounds thing end of 22 going on 30 - are those mooing cows???
