Carnival Of Chaos
Produced by Ron Goudie

A very versatile offering, often revered as GWAR's "white album", including jazz and honkey-tonk tracks amid the more usual punk-rock and metal. After 10 minutes' silence at the end, there is a short snippet of the 'epic' "Drop Drawers" (see the "Slave Pit Singles"). Generally thought not to be quite naughty enough, lyrics-wise.

The album features not only vocal performances from Beefcake The Mighty, Slymenstra Hymen and Techno Destructo, but also features classic songs like the 7 minute plus tribute to Sammy Davis Jr. (simply enough just entitled "Sammy"), the hillbilly stomp of "Sex Cow" as well as the sequel of sorts to "Saddam A Go-Go", entitled "Back To Iraq".
