Butthole Surfers – Independent Worm Saloon
Out of stock
$15.00
“More energetic than the straggling Pioughd and benefiting from Jones’ brilliant ear and tight, crisp arrangements, Saloon starts with the fierce “Who Was In My Room Last Night?”; from there, the Surfers tear through hilarious and strong numbers. Creating radio-friendly unit shifters was clearly the last thing on the band’s mind, as numbers like “The Annoying Song,” with Haynes sounding like what a radar dish would do if it could sing, and the wittily solemn acoustic ditty “The Ballad of Naked Man” demonstrate. The Surfers’ taste for rude grostequerie surfaces throughout — the foul “Chewin’ George Lucas’ Chocolate,” the series of vomit sounds that conclude the record after “Clean It Up”‘s heavy trudge and the extremely disturbing artwork are just a few examples. Combined with numerous examples of Surfer-mania at its finest — the dipsomaniacal rager “Alcohol,” the electric country hoedown “You Don’t Know Me” and more — and Saloon is that rarest of records, a major-label debut that surpasses the indie release preceding it.” – allmusic.com
