 Lonesome Bulldog June 20, 2006

All I know is that this cover of Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" is hilarious.
The Butthole Surfers lost something with this album. Like the lunacy stepped back and was replaced by that sort of complacent commercialized confusion commonly mistaken as insanity. The sound is more developed here - the production glossier, but not like the later albums where better production is actually embraced. It's between phases for the Surfers, and where they were from and where they were going didn't really mesh well.

I have yet to see a review for this album, or any album, that thoroughly praises the guitar genius of Paul Leary. Everyone always seems to focus on the lyrics, but always seem to miss the fact that Paul Leary has gotta be one of the greatest rock guitarists of the day. And this album, along with Independent Worm Saloon, has some of his coolest stuff. Just listen to P.S.Y. for goodness sake. As a whole the album is really great. Not quite as scary as Locust... but that's not a bad thing. It's weird yet listenable. And then there's the "Gary Shandling" lyrics in Revolution... So that's why everyone forgets about Paul Leary!

please! give this a chance to grow on you, this is not their worst album, that awful ''weird revolution''thing was their worst
however,this is not in their top five best albums that they did
i don't think, why, i even like independent worm saloon more than this, i think ''locust abortion technician'' is their best,
still this is not too bad, they were just mad at how their label
at the time was treating them at the time.

Funny, I don't remember the Beatles ever singing "when I kicked her in the teeth she was out the door, I just know she'll be back for more". Regardless, this is definitely a departure from the holy trinity of Rembrandt Pussyhorse-Locust Abortion Technician-Hairway to Steven, but hell, at least it's not Weird Revolution.
Not bad, but not that good December 1, 2004

There are some true gems here such as the wonderful "Revolution" parts 1 and 2. not to mention the killer and heavy "Blindman". But I'm afraid there's a lot of filler and dross too, such as "Golden Showers" and the excreble "No, I'm Iron Man" which is essencially an unfunny joke spoken over the top of noise. It grates after only a short while. The various and thankfully short "Lonesome Bulldog" variations are funny in that each one is "worse" and sloppier than the one before it, they act as little vignettes between the longer songs. "Something" played live was much more powerful than on this album, though its still good. P.S.Y. is a tongue in cheek guitar workout by Paul Leary complete with Buttholes blues licks at the end and blues shouting courtesy of Gibby. "Barking Dogs" is a head twisting excursion into noisy psychedelica that by Butthole Surfers standards seems more like a tame or even somewhat conventional afterthought. Though some of the songs are very good, this album just isn't that focused or experimental enough to warrant a higher rating. The Surfers seemed to have reached an uneasy compromise between song oriented material and the crazed instrumental excursions of previous years with the result being one of their most unsatisfying albums. They seem to be almost unsure of themselves, either they tried too hard or not hard enough. Perhaps their lable troubles had something to do with it? I don't know, in any case this set was followed by one of their best: the excellent "Independent Worm Saloon." But their most groundbreaking work was behind them.
