Hooray for....Paul Leary, April 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Pioughed (Audio CD)
I have yet to see a review for this album, or any album, that thoroughly praises the guitar genius of Paul Leary. Everyone always seems to focus on the lyrics, but always seem to miss the fact that Paul Leary has gotta be one of the greatest rock guitarists of the day. And this album, along with Independent Worm Saloon, has some of his coolest stuff. Just listen to P.S.Y. for goodness sake. As a whole the album is really great. Not quite as scary as Locust... but that's not a bad thing. It's weird yet listenable. And then there's the "Gary Shandling" lyrics in Revolution... So that's why everyone forgets about Paul Leary!

Lonesome Bulldog, June 19, 2006
This review is from: Pioughed (Audio CD)
All I know is that this cover of Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" is hilarious.
The Butthole Surfers lost something with this album. Like the lunacy stepped back and was replaced by that sort of complacent commercialized confusion commonly mistaken as insanity. The sound is more developed here - the production glossier, but not like the later albums where better production is actually embraced. It's between phases for the Surfers, and where they were from and where they were going didn't really mesh well.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Pioughed (Audio CD)
please! give this a chance to grow on you, this is not their worst album, that awful ''weird revolution''thing was their worst
however,this is not in their top five best albums that they did
i don't think, why, i even like independent worm saloon more than this, i think ''locust abortion technician'' is their best,
still this is not too bad, they were just mad at how their label
at the time was treating them at the time.
