The Jackofficers
To enjoy this album, firstly you must see it like the genre of cult films ’ They are so bad, they are good’ – (The Toxic Avenger, a good example of one of those films). Its this concept that makes this album entertaining, along with its Jimi Hendrix’s and Texas Chainsaw samples.
The Jackofficers, are firstly a side project of 2 members of The Butthole Surfers, Gibby Haynes (frontman) and Jeff Pinkus (bassist) and is nothing like The Surfers. The album is the two making really trippy house music ‘Butt’ in their own unique way and with dark humor. The album at first seems all over the place but with a lot of listening… a lot of listening, you can see their is structures to the songs but its hard to do as most of the apparent jumble makes you go insane (but im sure thats the point of it all). Early 1990′s computer software was used to make this album which just adds to the cheesyness of it all as we hear drum beats that sound like pre-set beats from a childs keyboard along with psychotic synth bass lines. The track ”LA Mama Peanut Butter” i find is somewhat catchy and has a playful bass line as well as the words LA Mama!!! and Peanut Butter!!! repeated over and over again in different pitches throughout the song. However the majourity of the album is going to be most likely too unpleasant for many and even i cant listen to the last track fully which consists of a whooshing noise on repeat.
Note the early 90′s computer software even plagues the LP’s cover.
