this is a covers ep, it's also a little piece of history as it was one of the fisrt music cd's to also have pc contents on it(primus: leading the way , yet again).
the tracks on this ep are all really good but it's the last three that stand out. the thing that should not be , originally by metallica is so well done you'd be mistaken for thinkin that it's actually metallica(not bad for a three piece). the real treat is in the live tracks though, the live version of tommy the cat is 9 minutes long and includes an awesome bass solo halfway through. bob's party time lounge is also breathtaking, again it's not for everyone but a must for completists.

First off, this 'EP' is practically 50 minutes long so more of a full album really. I particularly enjoyed the opening track 'Scissor Man' as well as the cover of Stanley Clarke's 'Silly Putty'. As a whole, the album is refreshing and contains well structured instrumentals - the vocals are also absent on some of the tracks.
The 2 live tracks are Primus' own, taken from a New Years Eve show in 1997, and demonstrate the fluidity of their live performances. 'Tommy The Cat' is over 8 minutes long and one of the best versions of the song I have heard, including an impressive drum solo by Bryan "Brain" Mantia and "The Awakening" bass solo by Les Claypool.
Primus may be wacky, but this is not the only string to their bow - they are also seriously talented musicians and brought us some of the most innovative alternative music of the 90's.
