5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Primer, June 21, 2008

If you are like me you have been waiting for the day that Primer gets back together and releases new music. Although its only a few(6-7) new tracks this CD ROCKS. Its Classic Primer a welcoming familiar sound that I have been waiting for a long time. If your a Primer fan its a must have. The dvd footage isn't the best quality but still great to throw in at a party on the big screen with some steller home audio to rock it out with!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not a NEW album, December 4, 2010

I'm only writing this to correct everyone else.

This isn't new material at all. Why do you think it sounds like "old-school" Primer 55? BECAUSE IT IS!

These are all just previously unreleased tracks. Didn't you notice how "demo" they sound at all?

The acoustic songs are just from their "The New Release" album, which doesn't make them new either.

The first 6 songs are songs that didn't make the cut on the Mayhem album, or else were on demos before it.

That being said, it's a solid release. A good way to hear some more Primer 55 if you didn't catch these songs when they were available in the first place.

This is a good in-between, however it's a follow-up.

Intro to Mayhem apparently defined Primer - stuck them strictly within the rap-metal genre. Suddenly they release a disc that is of proximally alternate style - hard rock w/ metal elements and subsequently fall off the face of the earth.

They return w/ a disc that is a blend of their rap-metal roots and hard-rock musicianry. Honestly, to me it sounds more aligned with their rap-metal works AND while it is not "Intro to Mayhem" (which will never, EVER, be duplicated) it is decent and passable despite being on the short side.

For the uninformed: "Primer" means: a beginning to, an introduction of, a genesis... with this name you might consider constantly regenerating yourself... maybe the artist was smarter than you and actually knew what they were doing this time around. Or it could be serendipity / circumstance.
