Maniacal sludge guitar figures and Gibbytronix vocals are smeared everywhere, with most excellent results. For many folks. ‘Locust’ represents the album with which the Buttholes fully fulfilled their insane potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Hairway to Steven’ is a blast, ranging from the blood-smeared guitar-overload of “Jimi” to the acoustic guitar-based sing-along sweetness of “I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas” to the Fugs-like ranting of “John E. Smokes.” Yet, for all its strangeness, ‘Hairway’ got rave notices in places that had never paid the band any attention previously. It was the Buttholes’ last album of the ‘80s and marks the beginning of their ascendance into something akin to commercial success. Not that the band actually imagined anything at all like that occurring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MATADOR DIRECT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42605158957150,"sku":"BUTTHOLE-SURFERS-CREAM-CORN-FROM-THE-SOCKET-OF-DAVIS-EP-6310","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/0484\/3614\/files\/201374978257.webp?v=1774997133"},{"product_id":"butthole-surfers-after-the-astronaut-lp-opaque-white-vinyl","title":"BUTTHOLE SURFERS 'AFTER THE ASTRONAUT' LP (Opaque White Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLABEL: Sunset Blvd Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRELEASE DATE: 06\/26\/2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVARIANT: Opaque White Vinyl LP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiding the least likely commercial success of the 90s with Modern Rock chart topper \"Pepper,\" Austin odd rockers Butthole Surfers returned to the studio in 1998 for the followup, After The Astronaut.
