La Mano Cornuda is the second studio album by the

Supersuckers.[5][6] It was released on March 1, 1994, on Sub Pop. The title is Spanish for the horned hand, a reference to the hand sign often seen at rock and roll shows.[7]

Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music deemed the album "hard rocking songs about hard drinking hard men."[4] Trouser Press wrote that "Conrad Uno’s production doesn’t raise [Jack] Endino’s blinding gleam, but the effect is salutary, allowing the band to indulge its naturally wanton slop-rock instincts to great hairy effect."[2] Eric Davidson, author of We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001, considered it perhaps the band's "best all-around record."[8]
