So let's chat.
It's 2010.
Cool, we made it this far.
No, but Dude, Seriously.
WHAT A WACKY ALBUM!!!
Here, is probably, my FAVORITE Surfers release. Why? Well, it doesn't sound like them trying to rip off Hendrix (that'd come later). Instead, you got TWO drummers, one bassist, a guitar bro who makes a lot of cool noises and the singer-guy who shouts through a megaphone and sings like a good-to-honest REDNECK in some parts.
Honestly, these Texans created some of the damned finest noise since 1984. I mean, from "Eye of the Chicken" to "Negro Observer" (which has a sax solo!), to the surf-rock "Butthole Surfer", to the weird twisted southern fried blues of "Lady Sniff" skipping back a few to "Dum Dum" (great one to play bass with), to the over 6 minute "Cherub" (with megaphone!), to the just completely screwed up "Cowboy Bob".
I mean, it's a shame this band just sucks. 26 years ago, they released a fantastic album and haven't done anything worthwhile since 1987 or so.
OVERALL RATING - Sonic Drive-In
KEY TRACKS - Dum Dum, Lady Sniff, Eye of the Chicken,
