Electriclarryland is my favourite album of all time. It's the Butthole Surfer's 7th album and their most commercially successful, having their biggest hit, "Pepper", on it. Every song on this album is great. My favourites are "Pepper", "Jingle of a Dogs Collar" and "My Brothers Wife". It's the Surfers "tamest" album (their older shit is insane) and it's definitely my favourite. Seriously, this album is great, that's all I can really say about it.



Colour - Anthology

If anyone else knows this album then wow. This album is so good, unbelievabely good. The band split up before its release, which is a shame because all the songs are amazing. I can't really say how much I like this album in this, but it's just so good honestly. I was shocked that they had less than 10 thousand monthly listeners. This album is genuinely amazing and I really can't say more. My favourite songs are "Over The Moon", "Run Like You're Being Chased", and "Shamu".



Do I just like the album this much because of nostalgia? Yes! It's also a great album, which helps. "Undercover Martyn" followed by "What You Know", two great songs next to eachother. This is just upbeat fun, every song makes you want to dance. Everyone always talks about how good "What You Know" is, which is fair, but "Undercover Martyn" is slightly better, in my opinion. My favourite songs from this are "Undercover Martyn", "What You Know" and "Cigarettes in the Theatre".



No words. This album is just cool as fuck.



Anatolia is a concept album, which is them trying to make a 20 minute continuous song. Think Nonagon Infinity but more chill. This is just a nice, relaxing, chilled out album. "Definitely Jack" reminds me of Outrun for some reason. Just makes you want to chill on a beach. The last 30 seconds of "Berring Stone" are perfection, and also with the whole album being so short every song is so good. My favourites are "Definitely You", "Berring Stone" and "Knight Fork".



Although those are my top 5 favourite albums, there are also loads I love, but don't make my top 5. Here are some more of my favourite albums
