8-Album Mind: No, Seriously...

Primus

Suck On This ♠♠♠
Sailing the Seas of Cheese ♠♠♠♠
Pork Soda ♠♠♠♠♠

Yeah, only 3 albums today... it was the type of day where you really are torn between having fun and just being bummed. Sorry for the personal note, but what can I say...

Primus has always held a rather odd space in my collection and the band is always just hit and miss. Today I finally was able to realize just why this band is so damn good. The funk-metal styling of Les Claypool reached a head on "Pork Soda", and album that saw him pick up a 6-String Fretless Bass (The Rainbow Bass) and a stand-up base as well. Choice cuts? "Tommy the Cat", "My Name is Mud", "Welcome to this World", "Mr. Kringle", "John the Fisherman", "Damn Blue Collared Tweekers", and "Here Come the Bastards".
