Named after the colour brown, Primus return with what they like to call 'The Brown Album'...as we all do...because that's what it's called. Brilliant. It's no 'Frizzle Fry' or 'Sailing the Seas of Cheese' but it still packs 'em in. 'Shake Hands With Beef' will have you nodding your head up and down untill your neck snaps. 'Golden Boy' will have your foot tapping untill your ankle breaks. 'Over The Falls' will have your hands clicking untill your fingers fall off. So, even though you will lose your neck, ankle and fingers- it is a worthy price to pay in order to listen to this fantastic...ness.

This in my opinion is the best Primus album, definately the most accessible.
The Bass playing Genius of Les Claypool calms down the bass slapping and concentrates on some truely spectacular lyrics that will have you in stitches....if you like singing in the shower like me.
This is a great album if you are not easily embarrased and feel that music is really about personal taste, its quirkiness is its genius.
For all you muso's out there you will not be disappointed, Brain (the new drummer) has a far simpler style to Herb but this greatly adds to the music, which this time has magnificent songs.
Having seen Primus several times, I can tell you that this stuff is worth a seriously happy mosh!

I love primus and rate frizzle fry as one of my fave cds i have, and have ever heard. I knew that the brown album wouldn't top frizzle fry, but it comes a close second for primus!! the two massive differences are 1. the drummer- tim "herb" alexander has been replaced by brian manitia. and 2. the sound...... which has moved on from quite heavy alt funk rock too pretty much all out funk. for me i prefer tim on the skins, i just prefer the way he filled gaps with brilliant ghost notes or little cymbal fills, but brian keeps this album ticking and i got to say i do like his drumming on this. Les claypool again playing some crazy bass lines and the whole feel is good. for fans who know what primus are about you will love this, for anyone who heard frizzle fry and want another heavy - ish album like that you wont get it with this. Brilliant muscianship, funk filled songs, humourous and fun to listen to it is, heavy or like frizzle fry it isnt.

Primus' Most Unique Record
The "Brown Album" was initially rather disappointing for me. For one thing I found the songs to be a little too drawn-out, resulting in a sense of monotony, but also I really... Read more

The Sound of Brown
On most releases, Primus sound like 3 musicians having the perfectly choreographed fight. This is more fluid and conceptual than most Primus releases. Read more

It's true alright, definately the most accessible album.
Although I appreciate their other albums more, this one is so listenable. It's almost a concept album, all the songs have a slight overdriven sound to them (bass, drums and guitar)... Read more
