Hairway To Steven (1988)

"Butthole Surfers long reigned among the most twisted and depraved acts ever to bubble up from the American underground. Masters of calculated outrage, the group fused the sicko antics of shock rock with a distinct and chaotic mishmash of avant-garde, hardcore, and Texas psychedelia. "Hairway To Steven", their fourth album, got a reception probably not even the band figured on -- lead reviews in major music magazines, increasingly higher profiles, and more. As it is, though, the album is actually a touch lazy in comparison to the previous releases, sometimes sounding almost all too normal. When it connects, though, "Hairway To Steven" works wonders, whether continuing in the punk/psychedelic fusion vein of the past or exploring a gentler, tuneful side." (Jason Ankeny / Ned Raggett, Allmusic)
