The re-release includes revised artwork, an expanded booklet, and several bonus tracks that include demos and live versions featuring then-lead vocalist Luke Easter. Considered by critics to be Tourniquet's most balanced of the band's first three albums,[1] Heaven's Metal fanzine ranked Psycho Surgery Christian metal's second-best album of all time (after Vengeance Rising's Human Sacrifice).[2] (Tourniquet retitled the re-release "Psychosurgery" as one word rather than two since co-founder and drummer Ted Kirkpatrick always felt that it should have been just one.) RecordingProduced by Metal Blade Records' Bill Metoyer, Tourniquet recorded Psycho Surgery at Mixing Lab A & B studio in Garden Grove, California. Guitarist Erik Mendez and the bassist Victor Macias joined Tourniquet for this album, forming the quintet known as Tourniquet's classic line-up.[1] After Stop the Bleeding band caught Metal Blade Records' attention, Metal Blade released the album to the secular market, leaving the Christian market to original label Intense Records. Psycho Surgery represented a more modern, experimental, and technical thrash-metal style, leaving behind the previous album's speed metal elements and incorporating classical music-influenced guitar riffs, complex tempo changes, and virtuosic guitar solos. One reviewer described the album as "Slayer plays Beethoven in a slightly rearranged way."[1] Vocalist Guy Ritter also abandoned his King Diamond-like high-pitched falsetto in favor of a more melodic baritone register. The album's crisp production creates a somewhat clinical and sterile atmosphere that serves to undergird the album's medical themes. Using his pharmaceutical background, drummer Ted Kirkpatrick infused the lyrics with medical terminology to serve as metaphors for particular social issues such as discrimination of the developmentally delayed ("Broken Chromosomes"), heretical sects ("A Dog's Breakfast"), and parental neglect ("Dysfunctional Domicile"). The song "Stereotaxic Atrocities," a sequel to the previous album's "Ark of Suffering," features a brief reprise of the original's signature guitar riff and criticizes laboratory testing of animals.[1] Taking advantage of rap metal's new popularity, the album's popular "Spineless" featured the vocal and sampling contributions of Christian hip-hop group P.I.D. Although Kirkpatrick wrote most of the song's lyrics prior to entering the studio, P.I.D.'s Fred "Doug Tray" Lynch and Barry "G" Hogan crafted their own lyrical contributions on the spot.[2] The fast-moving instrumental "Viento Borrascoso (Devastating Wind)" features Kirkpatrick's virtuosic drumming. The album's final song, "Officium Defunctorum," is a doom metal piece written by guitarist/vocalist Gary Lenaire that addresses the Jesus Christ's crucifixion.[1] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Chicago Tribune | rev1Score = {{Rating|1.5|4}}[3] | rev2 = Cross Rhythms | rev2Score = {{Rating|10|10}}[4] | rev3 = Imperiumi.net | rev3Score = {{Rating|9.5|10}} (Classic status)[1] | rev4 = Powermetal.de | rev4Score = (Classic status)[5] | rev5 = Powermetal.de (Review of re-release) | rev5Score = (Highly favorable)[6] }} Metal Blade Records' wide distribution of Psycho Surgery increased Tourniquet's exposure and popularity. Following the album's release, the songs "Psycho Surgery," "Spineless," and "Viento Borrascoso" all achieved number-one positions on several charts, and readers of HM Magazine voted Psycho Surgery their "Favorite Album of the Year" in 1991. In 1992, Psycho Surgery also achieved two GMA Dove Award nominations in the categories Metal Album of the Year and Metal Recorded Song of the Year ("Psycho Surgery"). Critics consider the album a display of talented musicianship, intelligent lyrics, and originality.[1] In August 2010, HM Magazine ranked Psycho Surgery #18 on its list of Top 100 Christian Rock Albums of All Time[7] and the #2 album on its list of Top 100 Christian Metal Albums of All Time. In an interview with Noisecreep about the list, HM Magazine editor Doug Van Pelt explained that Psycho Surgery "found this band playing as a five-member band for the first time and they really bent creativity in metal in new directions that have still not been matched. Nobody has ever sounded like this band. I mean, Between the Buried and Me and maybe System of a Down are the closest in stretching creative boundaries. You almost had to pull out a medical dictionary to understand their [Tourniquet's] lyrics. Standout song would have to be the epic 'Broken Chromosomes,' which is a touching song about mistreated kids that are mentally handicapped. Chilling song."[8] Track listing
