PRIMUS
One of the original and most distinctive alt-metal groups, a whimsical party band
with chops that absorbed punk rock, thrash, speed metal, and funk.
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

Primus' first studio album wouldn't necessarily be a surprise to anyone familiar with their Suck on This days, not least because a good chunk of that album ended up being represented here. Not that this was surprising, but what was pleasant was how well and easily the at-once frenetic and extremely precise way the trio had around its spastic rhythms, translated into a great effort away from the stage. Certainly the fact that Les Claypool had once tried out for Metallica was clear enough with the doomy metal opening of "To Defy the Laws of Tradition," but once Claypool started singing about brides choosing colors other than white for marriages, the band's own world came to the fore. It's pretty easy to see in retrospect how much of a melange went into the group's work. Nods but thankfully few outright steals to everything from Frank Zappa's arch humor and Funkadelic's sprawl to the Police's early, spare effectiveness crop up and, indeed, so does plenty of Metallica (the title track's extreme climax in particular......... Frizzle Fry is ultimately and perfectly of its time and place(AllMusic)
