Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991)

The first major release by your least favorite band Primus is a one of a kind band. No one utilized the bass like Les Claypool did. The genre itself could be defined as funk metal or Primus itself! Sailing was successful in many ways on creating a different musical atmosphere they created as I bet many were confused what they were listening to on MTV since I'm sure everyone is like what the heck still when they watch the music video for "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver". Perhaps some people didn't understand there humor as it's probably really weird to people that don't listen to experimental metal stuff. I would say if this album didn't do it for you, you'll probably never like Primus. Of course I don't know anyone that particular dislikes them that I know but, they put on a killer live show from what I see. Just check out there Woodstock 1994 performance, unreal mud throwing during "My Name is Mud". Songs to check out "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver", "Tommy the Cat" and "Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers".
