That, sir, is bass (play on words!?!?) ackwards!!!
But for reals, Frizzle Fry is like the true Primus. I can't possibly imagine listening to any of their last three albums more often...

I get the feeling Frizzle Fry was written more live, and songs that were gradually added to bit by bit. The ones later feel more studio composed. Maybe the most straightforward of Primus albums, but for sheer instrumental intricacy, it's a work of art.
I used to hate Pork Soda, and it grew on me. The Brown Album isn't bad either, where Claypool obviously shows most of his Residents influence. Sailing the seas of cheese is basically somewhere on the same level/plane as Pork Soda. Personally, James, I say give Frizzle Fry a listen. It's really a very different album than the rest. From a sheer instrumental/compositional point of view I feel it stands head, and shoulders, above the others.

Maybe Frizzle Fry has a more raw sound because it was on an independent label? Lots of the songs from Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda were written in the 1980s...

Primus for me was all a grower. I hated them when I first heard them, but the more I heard them, the more I wanted to hear them. Plus my friend would high five me everytime I said Primus Sucks, not knowing that was their slogan.
Off Topic but how is the OP a guest? |

I'm surprised to hear you diss ther last three albums. I agree that Antipop isn't quite up to snuff (though still pretty good) but The Brown Album and especially Tales from the Punch Bowl are terrific albums. |

Why do you say 'Too Many Puppies' belongs on Seas of Cheese? Also, if you haven't already, it would probably be worth the time for you to check out the EP they released last year. It has new recordings of a couple of Frizzle Fry tracks, 'Pudding Time' and 'Harold of the Rocks'...

^^ I think bad production work well if you're a band like Husker Du - Land Speed Record sounds great even if it was recorded on a 2-track
not so for Primus, I think - I don't even like the production on Sailing that much but the songs are great |

I have to say you're the only person I've ever heard describe Les as having a big ego. What makes you say that? Quote:
Cool! I'll have to look for that one. |

I think it was just a matter of spreading out their best songs. I figure that's why their very best, 'Tommy the Cat', had to wait until Seas of Cheese to get released...
