Lobotomizer is the debut album of the Norwegian band Motorpsycho, released in 1991. It is the rawest release in terms of sound and also style (mostly heavy metal and grunge) It is by most fans seen as the weakest record the band ever put out. Still, a crowd-favourite is included even here: the lenghty "Hogwash". And the title track and also "Eternity" prove that not everything on this record is loud and noisy.
