This was the fourth Primus release and it's another really weird one in the sense of subject of the songs and style of the Primus sound. Slapping the bass like a madman Les Claypool should be consider the funk rock king. There one of those bands that appear silly but have a seriousness to them if that makes sense. The variety of randomness and trippyness of the lyrics are pretty entertaining as usual. I think this album features more of a focus on the other two bandmates than just Les Claypool making it probably there most musical performance they did. The song "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" is there most successful single I think still to this day. Last time I was talking about Primus someone mentioned to me that he saw them open up for U2. I thought he was fucking with me or something but they did open up for U2 when they were doing stadium shows back in 1992. I don't know what genre to classify Primus correctly. Does anyone?
