Primitive Enema

Primitive Enema is the debut album by the Los Angeles punk band Butt Trumpet. It was produced by Geza X and released in 1994 by Chrysalis Records, with the recording sessions allegedly costing less than a thousand dollars. The album was the subject of a censorship campaign in Leominster, Massachusetts, after a mother campaigned against the sale of Parental Advisory-stickered records to minors. The band supported the album by touring with Fear. The album had sold more than 60,000 copies by the end of 2000.

Reception
Trouser Press wrote: "The double-bassist Los Angeles quintet ... is strictly out to offend on Primitive Enema, wielding a two-pronged fork of blaring punk aggression and tastelessly crude lyrics that make outrageous jokes of the three S's: scatology, sex and stoopidity." AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine called the group "crude and amateurish-and fiercely proud of it, by the way", and said the disc "made more sense on a smaller label". He also criticized Geza X's production, calling it "slightly too clean to make Primitive Enema sound dangerous."
