Electriclarryland [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
These Austin punks spent a decade playing underground clubs and sleeping on floors next to the cat-litter box before scoring an unlikely commercial breakthrough with this 1996 album. The key to the highway was the modern-rock radio hit "Pepper," a novelty rap tune that reinvents Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" from the perspective of postpunk nihilism, Texas-style. Another rock-rap track, "The Lord Is a Monkey," grafts a lyrical nod to Snoop Dogg over a mutilated Jimi Hendrix guitar lick. The rest of the album alternates pop-punk rave-ups ("Ulcer Breakout," "Ah Ha") with noisy acid freak-outs ("My Brother's Wife," "Space"). The Buttholes have not released an album since Electric Larryland. But it's all right, Ma, they're only bleeding. --Rick Mitchell --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

2 out of 5 stars What is this? Is this the Surfers..??.......2007-01-13

Pretty forgettable outing from the Surfers is almost totally comprised of conventional songs. A sad drop from the Latino Buggerveil glory days that true Surfer fans (such as myself) know and cherish. Some of the songs even sound like rip-offs of earlier Surfer tunes: "Cough Syrup" sounds distressingly similar to "I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas".

Pretty sad, in all. The Butthole Surfers remain one of the great experimental rock bands of all time. Their first four albums are towering acheivements, but "Electric Larryland" isn't even close to being in the same class. Gone is the psychotic menace and disorienting fever of "Psychic Powerless", "Rembrandt Pussyhorse" and "Locust Abortion...". Even the freak-out songs on the album ("My Brother's Wife") are a little tired and sound more like someone trying (in vain) to imitate early surfers.

I will always respect and love and follow this great band, but this is not one of their best albums, nor is it an album for a prospective fan to start with. Pick up one of their first four releases or "Humpty Dumpty" instead.

4 out of 5 stars Good CD........2006-11-05

I like Electriclarryland but unfortunetley I don't know that much about the Butthole Surfers since I just started listening to them a few months ago. Their best song on there is, of course, "Pepper" since it was on the radio before. My only complaint (and this is a minor one) is that they should have included more with the jacket part of the CD. For example maybe include the lyrics to the songs and other stuff like that. Still a good CD and "Pepper" is still the best song on there.

5 out of 5 stars Can't help loving it........2006-08-08

Yes, this album does not compare to any other BS release, but it is truly a classic on it's own merits. They decided to write songs in the standard format this time around; what most people like to refer to as "selling out", I call it "stretching out", and they did thier usual excellent job of it. If you like this you probably won't like thier other works and vice versa but I think it stands up just as well as any of thier albums just in a completely different genre. Songs of note: "Jingle Of A Dog's Collar", "Cough Syrup", "The Lord Is A Monkey", all of them really. An all-time personal fave.

5 out of 5 stars Give Me More!.......2006-07-08

Refreshingly innovative! Unexpectedly broad in range! Alternative at its best! As you listen, you won't have a clue what the next song will sound like. Count on stimulating lyrics as well as intriguing musical transportation. Note that the adult language may not be suitable for all tastes.
