Diarrhea of a Madman is the debut album by the band Dave Brockie Experience. It was released in 2001 by Metal Blade Records.
Reception
[edit]Houston Press described the album as "an entertaining mix of the leader’s musings on the world" and "liberally applied doses of not-altogether-gratuitous poo-poo and masturbation humor". Still, the songs often contained a resonance of truth "just one layer down". Standing out from the rest, the tracks "I Saw Three Forms" and "Calling Dr. Fong" were lengthy renditions of a dramatic dialogue set to background music, a "type of free-form-storytelling-to-music rarely heard since Apostrophe-era Zappa".[1]
Razorcake wrote in extenso: "Schizophrenic, vaguely poppy rock music with some pretty stupid lyrics, from one of the guys responsible for Gwar, which explains quite a bit".[2] New Music Monthly stated that "when DBX rocks, it's nothing short of tasteless mayhem", fulfilling the band's intent with this record.[3]
Rough Edge opined that Diarrhea of a Madman "is certainly entertaining, as long as you don't have a politically correct bone in your body". This was due to the "shocking, outrageous and uncensored" lyrics as well as liner notes. However, "many will find the over-the-top antics of the Dave Brockie Experience too much".[4] Ink 19 compared the album to "Mr. Bungle covering the Joykiller", which was a "weird, wild ride" to sit through.[5]
