 Good cd, not their best

| I like the Butthole's admiration for the weird. However some of this material I think is just filler. For the most of the cd is very enjoyable and it is much more than the popular song "Pepper". |

 I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!!!

After spending many minutes Googling and reading reviews of this great CD, I couldn't remember what the song "Jingle of a Dog's Collar" reminded me of. I know it was a tribute to someone (so much of the music they make is and their album titles). I was stumped. I have 10k songs on my iPod but it couldn't resolve itself. Nobody compared it which made me question myself.
Alas I was sitting here doing taxes, and it hit me and I knew it instantly!
Can anyone disagree that this song was modeled after "I'm Waiting for the Man" by The Velvet Underground? (It could probably be compared to several Velvet/Lou Reed songs)
That is it! What a great song that is! Both of them...
Anyway people can criticize "Electriclarryland" if they would like. I was a Surfers fan since 1989 when I was 14. Finally an album came out that I could get people in the door with. The older stuff was harder to turn people onto. Before this album I had to tell them that the singer from the Surfers did the vocals on Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hotrod" and that usually worked...
Anyway it does seem to be a tribute to some early drug influenced psychedelic rock. Hendrix for sure (hence the name), and Velvet, and even some Beatles. |

Pretty forgettable outing from the Surfers is almost totally comprised of conventional songs. A sad drop from the Latino Buggerveil glory days that true Surfer fans (such as myself) know and cherish. Some of the songs even sound like rip-offs of earlier Surfer tunes: "Cough Syrup" sounds distressingly similar to "I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas".
Pretty sad, in all. The Butthole Surfers remain one of the great experimental rock bands of all time. Their first four albums are towering acheivements, but "Electric Larryland" isn't even close to being in the same class. Gone is the psychotic menace and disorienting fever of "Psychic Powerless", "Rembrandt Pussyhorse" and "Locust Abortion...". Even the freak-out songs on the album ("My Brother's Wife") are a little tired and sound more like someone trying (in vain) to imitate early surfers.
I will always respect and love and follow this great band, but this is not one of their best albums, nor is it an album for a prospective fan to start with. Pick up one of their first four releases or "Humpty Dumpty" instead. |

| I like Electriclarryland but unfortunetley I don't know that much about the Butthole Surfers since I just started listening to them a few months ago. Their best song on there is, of course, "Pepper" since it was on the radio before. My only complaint (and this is a minor one) is that they should have included more with the jacket part of the CD. For example maybe include the lyrics to the songs and other stuff like that. Still a good CD and "Pepper" is still the best song on there. |

| Yes, this album does not compare to any other BS release, but it is truly a classic on it's own merits. They decided to write songs in the standard format this time around; what most people like to refer to as "selling out", I call it "stretching out", and they did thier usual excellent job of it. If you like this you probably won't like thier other works and vice versa but I think it stands up just as well as any of thier albums just in a completely different genre. Songs of note: "Jingle Of A Dog's Collar", "Cough Syrup", "The Lord Is A Monkey", all of them really. An all-time personal fave. |
