 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

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

There is much unabashed prog rock in Primus' sound, which even the thick dollops of irony 

that the band seeks to impart to its compositions are unable to mask completely. 

Primus' musicianship continues to improve, with the intonation of Les Claypool's 

trademark fretless bass (a sore spot in the past) more spot-on than ever, 

and guitarist Larry LaLonde's Fripp-isms are truly convincing for the first time. 

LaLonde in particular seems to have improved a great deal between Pork Soda 

and Tales From the Punchbowl. His dissonances seem a bit more calculated 

and less gratuitous and lazy than they often came off before. 

With high energy and full of surprises, T

ales From the Punchbowl is one of Primus' finer discs....(AllMusic)
