Lobotomizer is the debut album of the Norwegian band Motorpsycho, released in 1991. The album has a raw sound and style (mostly heavy metal and grunge)> However, it has been called the band's weakest record. The album includes the live-performance crowd-favourite "Hogwash". The title track and the song "Eternity" show a less aggressive side of the band's sound.
