Cutterpillow is the third studio album by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads, released on December 8, 1995 through BMG Records (Pilipinas), Inc.
[2] The album features hit singles such as “Overdrive”, "Torpedo", “Huwag Mo Nang Itanong”, and “Ang Huling El Bimbo”.
The band returned to the studio to record songs for Cutterpillow, bringing back Robin Rivera as producer after working with him on their previous album Circus.
[5] “Back2Me” “moves on a punkish vibe,” writes David Gonzales in his retrospective review for Allmusic, with “a catchy, snappy melody reminiscent of Green Day”.
“Torpedo” depicts the agony of being “torpe” (local slang for a person unable to express romantic feelings toward someone) and quotes the Pink Floyd song “Brain Damage”[7] while having disco elements.
[11] Before the concert, they held a press conference where numerous reporters walked out due to the band refusing to perform any songs and insisting on playing excerpts from the new album.
[7] In his retrospective review, David Gonzales of Allmusic gave the album four and a half out of five stars, noticing the more substantive sound with only a touch of "kiddie pop" compared to Circus, which he regarded as "lightweight and superficial".
[6] The band performed the album in full during their reunion concert in 2022 for the first set, saving "Ang Huling El Bimbo" as the closing song.
