When i first heard Primus, i had difficulty in understanding it, and grasping the concept of this drug induced techincally textured album. The more you persevere with Primus, the more you'll be absorbed into their crazy world. This is a good starting point for anyone getting into Primus, although you've gotta to start from somewhere. This album is a strike out at the mainstream, as the title may suggest. Les Claypool truly is one of the best bassists i've ever heard, besides Victor Wooden. Wynona's big brown beaver, Year of the parrot, Southbound pachyderm and Over the electric grapevine are the best tracks on the album. If you play an instrument you'll LOVE this.
