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.

Produced by Jawbox’s J. Robbins and featuring songs written by MCR’s Frank Iero, the post-hardcore band’s third album since reuniting sees them firing on all cylinders from start to end.
The NYC duo return to their DIY roots on their creatively unbridled second LP, turning a highly unusual concept into something rather heartfelt and wonkily majestic.
Further expanding the majesty and swell of their sound, the Midwest emo icons’ widescreen fourth LP flows with darkness, morbidity, emotional distress, and a newfound sense of hope.
The sixth album from the Scottish proponents of existential angst is centered around the intertwining duality of death and life, fueled in turn by feelings of despair, disbelief, and defiance.
Shifting between post-hardcore, emo, and nu-metal, the Chicago outfit’s second LP sounds as if it could be a forgotten relic of the late-’90s—perhaps at the expense of it feeling like their own.
