Enough
MiseryCreek | Austin, TX United States | 10/22/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Enough with the Butthole Surfers comparisons. I suppose it's inevitable, given Gibby's pedigree, but please - when held up to the inspired mayhem and relentless avant-gardeism of the Butthole's finest work (if you think I'm talking about anything released after 1988, you're in the wrong class - quit reading this, go to the record store, and buy the good stuff) any comparison is simply ridiculous.

This is a new project, and although King Coffey and Paul Leary made contributions, they were not part of the conceptualization. Gibby and his new team of Austin veterans have crafted a listenable album of psychedelic pop songs that, to my ears, bears little resemblance to any of their former projects. To me, this is to be commended - any one of these guys could have allowed themselves to coast on their reputations and crank out the same thing year after year. Instead they did something new, and it sounds pretty damn good. You want the Butthole Surfers? Go listen to Locust Abortion Technician. Want to hear what Gibby's up to now? Buy this record."
Solid record

"Don't know what all the fuss is about. I've read several bad reviews of this album. These songs are really catchy. Kaiser, Stop Foolin, Letter, I Need Some Help,Dream Machine and ESPECIALLY 15,000 are all really great songs. I reccommend this to anyone with an appreciation for something catchy and kinda hard to wrap your brain around. Quit your whining, this is a great record, but then again I liked "The Weird Revolution", so what do I know?"

"Not intense and arty as the best B Surfers, but it is a fun listen. Good music to drive to. A couple songs sound like pop songs from the sixties but sung by an alchie (the song LETTER would be a good example). On first listen I didn't think much of the cd, it wasn't as perverse as I hoped it would be, but on second listen I started hearing the songs for the simple fun weirdness they do have."
