Man, what a confusing title.
The 23 seconds so far sound decent.

Never listened because I think the name is gross and obscene. Honest opinion.

Electriclarryland is one of the permanent fixtures on my ipod, awesome band. I got into them because Paul Leary produced the self titled sublime album, which I was in love with in highschool. They used to have the craziest shows. They were infamous for having strobe lights and projector screens behind them on stage, playing weird scenes like medical operations, all the while tripping on acid. I always thought it was funny too, how they got sued by led zep for trying to name their album 'hairway to seven.'

"Independent Worm Saloon" is probably their best (and most "accessible") work, IMO. I also like "Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac" quite a bit.

You ever listen to the Jesus Lizard (also from Texas and was in the same general scene that the BS's were in)? If you like bands like the Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Swans etc you'd probably like them. I saw them live in Portland and that show was insane & intense, fantastic performance by that band even though they're old now. :D

If you dig them try and get a hold of an old LP named Beach Blvd.

It's always nice to hear the classics. Yes, they are awesome, that's a good album.

What's to discuss? When the Great Beast rises out of the sea, the Butthole Surfers will be providing the soundtrack. Specifically, it'll be 'Sweat Loaf', over and over again.
