Our Take

PRIMUS's latest album "Pork Soda" is a deliciously weird and wacky ride through the twisted mind of frontman Les Claypool. From the opening track "Pork Chop's Little Ditty" to the closing notes of "Hamburger Train," this record is a frenetic journey that never fails to surprise and delight.

Claypool's signature bass playing shines through on every track, providing the perfect backbone for the band's unique blend of funk, metal, and experimental rock. The result is a sound that is both familiar and completely alien, like stumbling upon a bizarre circus in the middle of the desert.

Lyrically, PRIMUS continue to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Songs like "Mr. Krinkle" and "Nature Boy" are filled with surreal imagery and dark humor, making "Pork Soda" a joy to dissect and analyze.

But what truly sets this album apart is its sheer audacity. PRIMUS have never been a band to play it safe, and on "Pork Soda" they take more risks than ever before. The result is a record that is as unpredictable as it is captivating, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats wondering what bizarre turn the music will take next.

In conclusion, PRIMUS's "Pork Soda" is a must-listen for anyone who craves music that is truly out of the ordinary. With its wild instrumentation, twisted lyrics, and boundary-pushing attitude, this album is a true masterpiece of weirdness that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
