Few records are as gleefully deranged as Locust Abortion Technician, the 1987 album that captured the Butthole Surfers at their most feral.
The Texas band, led by the howling Gibby Haynes and guitarist Paul Leary, had already built a reputation for chaotic, confrontational live shows when they made this third full-length. It distills that anarchy into eleven tracks of sludgy psychedelia, warped tape experiments and outright noise, mixing hardcore punk aggression with acid-fried detours and pitch-black humor. It went on to become a touchstone for the noise rock and alternative bands that followed.
Opener "Sweat Loaf" sets the tone, twisting Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" into a lumbering, sinister crawl after a now-infamous spoken intro. "Human Cannonball" barrels along on a crunching riff and Haynes' distorted bark, "Graveyard" turns up the menace with treated vocals and grinding guitars, and "22 Going on 23" closes things with an unsettling collage of found sound.
It's loud, ugly and very funny, yet strangely hypnotic once it gets its hooks in, the sound of a band with no interest in boundaries. Dropping the needle on this one has long been a rite of passage for adventurous listeners, and nearly four decades later it still sounds like nothing else on the shelf.
