Product Description

CD Description

Primus' second release (but first studio album), 1990's FRIZZLE FRY, remains one of this psycho-noise-funk-freakout band's finest. Whereas most other funk-like hard rock bands at the time came off half-baked and silly, Primus were one of the genre's masters (bassist Les Claypool had done hard time in funk/jazz cover bands prior to Primus). Several songs on FRIZZLE FRY had already been issued on the in-concert SUCK ON THIS, but dazzling renditions of "John the Fisherman", "Ground Hog's Day", "Pudding Time", and "Harold of the Rocks" outdo the originals. Add to it such newer tracks as "To Defy the Laws of Tradition", "Too Many Puppies", and "Mr. Knowitall", and you have the Primus second classic in a row.

5.0 out of 5 stars premium bass-funk metal, 27 Jul 2005
By A Customer
I'm disgusted at myself for not having got this album sooner, I've been a fan of primus for years and this is the album that contains most of my favourite tracks from dancing like a silly b*gger at rock clubs in the mid nineties. Too many puppies, John the Fisherman, To defy the laws of tradition are stand out tracks but this album is consistently good. if you like any of the primus you've heard, it'll probably be on this album.

This should be the first purchase of anyone into primus as it is probably the only album which you can listen through in one sitting even if you are not over-familiar with all the tracks. The other albums (like Sailing in the seas of cheese) contain some very phunky tracks (like Jerry was a race car driver or Tommy the cat) but also contain a lot of filler stuff which is not as worth a listen and can be a bit off-putting...

If you've never heard primus and you're into anything like the chilli peppers or mr bungle, buy this, the bass playing is awe-inspiring but the guitar, drum work and singing are spot on too. The best funky, funny, bass-orientated, rock album there is

5.0 out of 5 stars I cant believe these guys aren't a widely-known band!!, 4 Oct 2001
This review is from: Frizzle Fry (Audio CD)
Wow, Les Claypool is awesome. This cd is definitely worth having if you are a bass player, as it will leave you speechless.
I would recommend this for people who like weird, twisted funny music (a la Gomez or Tom Waits). This cd is awesome, and it's only their first album!!

5.0 out of 5 stars unbelieveable, 19 Jan 2005
By D. Priseman (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those of you new to Primus you have a lot of wasted years to make up for!!! Here's a quick filler for you... Primus rock! Les Claypool is the greatest bassist of all time, he does things with a bass guitar that defy the imagination, the band as a whole consists of 3 fantastic musicians who would rather be fisherman than in a band but happen to be tallented enough to do both...

On to the album, Frizzle Fry was the album that got me into Primus and I have to say it is a work of genius. The story goes a little something like this... Les and the boys walked into the studio, some of the songs had been written, some hadn't, they jammed their hearts out, fooled around, made things up as they went along and if you listen hard enough you will even hear the sound of a bass string breaking and Les playing on regardless (unheard of!)the album was recorded in one hit, no re-working, no re-recording... wow!

The album has a sarcastic string running through the lyrics, the most incredible bass sounds imagineable and a feel to it that can only come from musicians truly having fun and enjoying what they do. This is a must own album for fans of the unusual, non-mainstream sounds, after all 'to defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only for the brave...'
