Biography

Primus is all about Les Claypool; there isn't a moment on any of their records where his bass isn't the main focal point of the music, with his vocals acting as a bizarre side-show. Which isn't to deny guitarist Larry LaLonde or drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander any credit; no drummer could weave in and around Claypool's convoluted patterns as effortlessly as Alexander, ...

Editorial Reviews

Influential alternative rock icons Primus are back with their first album of brand new music since 1999's Antipap. The new album is entitled Green Naugahyde. Primus will be hitting the road in support of the new album - headlining their own shows, festivals (Hangout, Bonnaroo, All Good Festival) and playing legendary venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 3rd with old friends The Flaming Lips.

Primus formed in the late '80s in Northern California, releasing their first album, Suck On This, in 1989. They Signed to Caroline Records and released the now-classic Frizzle Fry in 1990. As part of the alternative rock explosion of the '90s, the band signed to Interscope and gave the world some of the biggest records of the decade, including Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, Pork Soda, Tales From The Punchbowl and The Brown Album, had several Billboard top 10 debuts, garnered a Grammy nomination and wrote the internationally loved and enduring theme song for 'South Park'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something's in the fish September 13, 2011
Format:Audio CD
While the classic bass grooves you would expect from Les Claypool are present,expect the new batch of Primus songs to be much more experimental in nature. The structure of these songs are less "rock" and more "jam", if you know what I mean. My only gripe (and it's a small one), is that I think Les overdid the funk bass effect that was pretty much all over their 2003 EP. It would have been nice to have some more clean tone bass sounds, but he uses that noodley sound all over the place. It should also be noted that Claypool's vocals are drenched in effects and pretty low in the mix throughout the whole album. Its kind of a spacey record in places.

The biggest bummer would probably be that Larry LaLonde seems a bit neutered on this record, like he wasn't given much to do. He does his usually tricks and licks, but nothing like the work he did on Frizzle Fry or even Brown album. Jay Lane finally makes his long awaited debut on a Primus record. Pretty wild considering he was their drummer before Herb. He is just as amazing as Herb in my opinion and is a master at hi-hat action

It didn't blow me a way, but I must say this is a fine album from a band I never thought would record again. It certainly blows away Anti-Pop, but I cannot say it's better than Brown Album or Punchbowl. I can't complain about the lyrics being silly because they always have been, hah. Bottom line, this is a great record that is only somewhat similar to their early stuff ( I disagree that this sounds anything like Frizzle Fry). If you like the more experimental side of the band like what you heard on the 2003 EP, then this will be a great addition to your collection.

Fun album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back Primus! September 13, 2011
Format:Audio CD
While the songs on Green Naugahyde seem to have more in common with Les Claypool's solo material than classic Primus albums such as Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda, the material here is no less worthy. It is great to finally have a complete album under the Primus moniker, with Larry Lalonde's outstanding guitar playing and amazing original drummer Jay Lane alongside Les Claypool. The songs are interesting and performed very well as you would expect. One note - this album may quality as a grower so don't be quick to judge. Give it several listens before making your mind up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funky Dark Circus Prog Rock Music!!!!!! September 13, 2011
Format:Audio CD
It's been a long 12 years waiting for a full length album!!! I've been a fan since the early 90's and enjoy anything Les does. That being said this record has a Les solo project sound. Which isn't a bad thing. It is nice to hear that Larry tone again. That is what sets it apart from Les solo projects. Enter Jay Lane...Man, this guy has got some serious chops!!! Probably because he was actually the first drummer for Primus...and yes before Tim. To me this record has a Tales from the Punchbowl kick to it. With solo jamming. The Metal/Thrash element is gone. If you're expecting the early Primus sound you might be disappointed. But I would still tell you to buy it!!!!

I was originially skeptical of Jay Lane but he relieved all doubt on Naugahyde and seeing Primus at MOOGfest.

Well I was really hesitant to buy this album, I loved Primus in the 90's and 00's but I was turned off from them by Les Claypools solo hippie styled albums. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars just purchased at best buy.
Exactly what I expected from primus, Les Claypool never disappoints with anything ever plays a part in, he is a musical artist master,
Just a good classic primus sound.

The sound that made them popular has returned. Only minor gripe is how distant the vocals sound on this album which is why I removed a star.

Primus sounds hungry again on "Green Naugahyde"
Been spinnin' it for about a week straight. It grows and grows on you like cilocybin. I dig it alot!! Just waiting for my green vinyl to arrive. It does have a mix of the past with a hopeful look to the future of MORE Primus. Jay is a badass funky drummer and in my opinion should never have left... Read more
