"Frizzle Fry" by Primus is an electrifying journey through a bass-driven wonderland. Les Claypool's virtuoso bass lines, especially in "John the Fisherman" and "Too Many Puppies," are mesmerizing. Larry LaLonde’s guitar and Tim Alexander’s drumming are equally stellar, creating a surreal, psychedelic soundscape.
This album defies conventions with its blend of funk, metal, and prog rock. It’s as if Salvador Dalí formed a rock band! Every track is a playful, audacious exploration of musical boundaries. "Frizzle Fry" doesn't just push the envelope; it mails it to another dimension.
So, crank up the volume and let Primus fry your brain—in the best possible way. Remember, “They can’t all be zingers,” but this one definitely is!

Tales from the Punchbowl je štýlovo po predošlom mierne odlišnejšom, psychadelickejšom a temnejšom albume návratom k Alternative/Funk/Experimental Rock -u. Osobne sa mi práve viac páčilo predošlé album. Predný obal mal viac verzií, pričom na LP verzii sú zobrazení členovia - skupina v maskách tučniakov, stojac na ľadovci. Album je prístupnejšie, ubudli t... Read More
