December 10 1984
Butthole Surfers
Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac
4.25 out of 5

Highlights:
Eye of the Chicken
Woly Boly
Lady Sniff

This is some fucked up shit, man.
Imagine (hear me out) if Captain Beefheart wrote linear music that didn't require 19 different time signatures and listened a shit ton of Wall of Voodoo and The Resident, took some mescaline and thought, "Maybe I'll invent Primus".
Or something like that.
No matter.
This is the sound of primal rock. I want to shoot this directly into my veins.
Fun Fact: The band took the stage one night and the announcer just looked at the song sheet and said, "It's the Butthole Surfers!" and they kept the name.
The song, "Butthole Surfer" is the weakest on Side One. I mean, I love it but it's still not as fun as the rest.
But "Lady Sniff" is the most disgusting thing I've heard in a while...and I love it. Zappa has nothing on these guys.
