Product Description

There was a time when the Butthole Surfers had a choice position in underground rock, as they twisted psychedelic noise and punk-metal to the brink of hardcore. Between a moniker that the mainstream media refused to use, excellent if freakish live shows, and song lyrics as confrontational as their name, radical rockers worshiped the Surfers from the mid-'80s to the early '90s. Time seems to have warped the warped act back towards the tepid mainstream, though, as Weird Revolution doesn't live up to its name as much as old fans of the act are going to like. The newest album is heavy on the industrial dance tip, blending power-tool effects with cheesy, washed-out beats. The sound comes off something like Smashmouth and Cake taking lessons from MC 900 Ft. Jesus. Even with all the cutting and pasting of vocals and noise on tracks like "The Last Astronaut," harder industrial songs like "Intelligent Guy" and the humor of songs like "Shit Like That," Weird Revolution is a very flat offering from a band known for spiking out the fringes of rock. --Jennifer Maerz
