SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE

my 1st Primus album, and a great one at that. Tim, Larry, and Les (along with many guest musicians, including Tom Waits on the song create a strange mixture of 80's King Crimson, Rush, and a tinge of Zappa to make some rythmic, driving, percussive music, led mostly by Claypool's basslines. Although such a thing may make some songs tedious (Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers), Tim, with his excellent drumming, and Larry's fripp-esque guitar combine to often provide a base for Les's soloing/ basslines.

Although repettitive at times, and those of the older-prog persuasion may find it a bit hard to swallow, listen with an open mind, and you may find a new joy in Primus.
