"Elephants on Acid" is the ninth studio album by American hip hop group Cypress Hill. The album was released on September 28, 2018. It marks the band's first studio album in eight years, following "Rise Up" (2010), making it the longest gap between two albums in their career. The album includes 21 tracks.
The entire production of the album was handled by DJ Muggs; it's the first album produced by him since the 2004's album "Till Death Do Us Part". Stylistically, "Elephants on Acid" sees the return of Cypress Hill's psychedelic, stoner-oriented sound, encompassing a range of related styles such as trip hop, psychedelic rock and g-funk.
The album also features a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks, presenting a cinematic narrative representing the highs and lows of a psychedelic trip. Critical reception of the album has been generally positive, with many critics appreciating the group's return to their roots and praising DJ Muggs' production work.
The title "Elephants on Acid" likely draws on the urban myth that an LSD trip could make you think you were an elephant, or see one, a claim often made but without proof, playing well into the album's psychedelic themes.
