The Montreal rockers blend sludge metal and raw folk on a second LP of visceral impact, doom-laden ambition, and violent twists and turns that often lacks lucidity.
Del the Funky Homosapien, Future Development [Reissue]
Its wily wordplay and metal-to-rubber production aided in making the Bay Area rapper’s third album something that was out-of-time back in 1997, and handsomely timeless now.
Butthole Surfers, After the Astronaut
The noise rockers’ long-shelved follow-up to Electriclarryland arrives as a fascinating artifact of a band caught between self-sabotage and the lure of commercial pop accessibility.
