Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Antipop, indeed. Primus, led by mad genius/bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, enjoyed past US radio success with "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver". And on Antipop, Primus's usual staccato freneticism and rhythm-propelled tunes are as compelling, demanding, and provocative as ever. Like Mr. Bungle, another oddball Northern California outfit, Primus's humor is omnipresent, though not in a Weird Al way, despite the fact that Claypool's nasal delivery is not unlike Mr. Yankovic's. Most of Antipop is patented Primus funk-pop, what with a song about "sniffing paint since the seventh grade" ("Lacquerhead") and the autobiographical title track ("I am the Antipop / I'll run against the grain 'til the day I drop"). Still, there are a few departures. The spacey, seemingly deliberate Pink Floyd homage "Eclectic Electric" is cool, as is the very Tom Waits-like "Coattails of a Dead Man". --Katherine Turman


CD Description

Primus is sometimes considered a square peg in a round holeamongst the band's musical peers. Yet somehow, Les Claypooland company have always managed a perfect fit. On ANTIPOP, the band continues on its fearless musical journey. The impressive roster of guest artists is only part of the reason why this album is a must for music fans who walk their own paths.
Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello brings his percussive and unnerving guitar sound to "Electric Uncle Sam" and "Mama Didn't Raise No Fool". On the tongue-in-cheek "Sacred Cow", Les Claypool's distinctive slap-bass style shines. Guitarist Larry LaLonde is conservative yet brilliant in hismoody, textural playing that is fitting without ever being flashy. "Eclectic Electric" brings together an unlikely pairof guests: Jim Martin and Metallica's James Hetfield, both of whom were in bands with the late Cliff Burton. Drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia, who returned to Primus for THE BROWN ALBUM, neatly fills the vacancy left by Tim Alexander, offeringcomplex rhythms and jazz-influenced dynamics. ANTIPOP expresses the essence of a unique band embraced by people who don't mind a little pork in their soda.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANTIPOP indeed, 14 Aug 2006
By J. A. Mccoy "jam" (derbyshire england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Antipop (Audio CD)
this album lives up to it's title, there is no denying that, as a matter of fact MTV banned the only video (laquer head) released from this album.
this disc is a classic, it's probably(after frizzle fry) the most accessable album primus have recorded and one of there best at that. les claypool again proves why he's probably the greatest bass player alive today and one of the great songwriters of our generation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Les Claypool is the Bass God, 20 Dec 2001
This must be the fourth or fifth Primus album I've bought, and I wasn't dissapointed. The new drummer 'Brain' isn't as adventurous as Tim Herb was (his drum kit had about thirty pieces to it), and the guitar efforts of Larry Lalonde are hardly worth a mention, but then again, they never were. The emphasis of Primus' music is the bass playing genius of frontman Les Claypool. You might wonder how simply being an excellent bass player can carrry the rest of the band, but believe me it can and it has.

This album is similar to 'Frizzle Fry' in feel, but also shows a change in approach because the band have started fiddling with synth sounds on their instruments, and Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine makes an apearance in a few songs. You almost expect Zach De La Rocha to start rapping about communism, but instead you get Les Claypools nasal narrations about the rodeo, or aerosol abuse.

The lyrics of the songs are as twisted as ever, and the dark waltz 'Coat-tails of a dead man' featuring Tom Waits on vocals is worth the album price alone. Some tunes stand out more than others, such as 'Ballad of Bodacious' and 'Laquerhead' but this is always the case with a band like primus.

I wouldn't look too much into the title of the album. It's not as if Primus are a band simply to oppose the mainstream. After all, writing the theme tune to South Park must have been a nice little earner for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another brilliant album from the 3 stooges!!, 16 Mar 2004
By A Customer
After hearing this album for the 1st time, I was glad to notice that Primus still retain their wacky style of songwriting.This is what is unique about Primus. 'Lacquer Head' and Electric Uncle Sam are the standout tracks for me. And Les Claypool's bass guitar playing is as mesmerising as ever. Highly recommended!!!
