Just curious, are you a fan of any of Beefheart or Residents material? Those are larger influences on Primus's style than any metal or rock group, so I imagine that they pull in a lot more people like me than people who don't initially have interest in out there music.

What I love about this track:
Fun as hell
Claypool clearly has a terrible voice, but he takes the Lou Reed approach and relies more on phrasing and new approach as opposed to trying to pretend he has a good voice
That bassline
The texture of the main guitar riff when it does those seconds/near unisons
The interplay between the stringed instruments when the guitar jumps in is something that you don't see in many metal groups
I mean just listen to that ****, if you don't like it you're clearly a stick in the mud
