Customer Reviews:

Wow!!.......2006-01-11

Unbelievable! Primus never ceases to amaze me with their musicianship. Original line-up after years of development and growth . . . this disk stretches the mind and ear in all the right ways. Awesome!

A MUST HAVE!.......2005-08-01

Whoever produced this just got ripped-off. (...). You get all the music videos, 5 new tracks that prove the band hasn't broken up, their just on a long vacation. Lots of extras, some of which are funny. This is 3 times better than than any Primus album. For just a few dollars more, well worth the price.

Neither 'Boaring' or Boring.......2005-04-20

Contrary to another reviewer's comments, this is not a "boaring" piece of work. It's not boring either. It's actually really good.

THE DVD:
The DVD throws all of the Primus videos up through 'Antipop' at you with the option of hearing commentary by the band. There's also a bunch of live stuff and old clips of the Primus guys screwing around. The entertainment value is inestimable.

THE CD:
This EP has some of the best songs the band has ever concocted on it. "Pilcher's Squad" is pure classic Primus: Bizarro bass up front, squeaking-crunching-flailing guitar, precise drumming holding it all together and Claypool's unmistakable "tweaking carnie barker on the verge of a nervous breakdown" vocal stylings. "The Last Super Power aka Rapscallion" and "My Friend Fats" are the others that stand out to me. But they're all good.

This is great for old tried-and-true fans of Primus as well as people who have never heard them before.
But as is written in the liner notes:
"Careful though, you may end up wearing a 30-pound rubber pig mask, stoned for twelve hours while a circus of human monsters circle around you."

Atmosphere, darkness and humour in a 5 track ball of fury!.......2005-01-04

Ok, so this EP gets slagged off a lot byso-called "classic" fans for not being Frizzle or Cheese-like. I read a certain review in which the reviewer said anybody who thinks this is their best is an idiot. Well, this isn't their best, but it has some of their best songs, so am I an idiot, Mr. Stick-With-Frizzle-Fry-And-Listen-To-Grindcore-LOLZ?

Anyway, now that I have that off my chest, let me say that this is one classy dog that doesn't deserve to be beaten. The shortest track, "Pilcher's Squad" is a hyper speed piece of work which could either please or annoy, depending on what you expect from Primus. The other tracks, stretching between 4 minutes and 8 minutes, are brilliant pieces of dark humoured and atmospheric work. Take "My Friend Fats" for example, one of the best songs Primus have ever done. The song is a wonderfully done piece of work featuring light chugs, heavy riffs and a classy little Les Claypool fingertap bassline. The lyrics tell the story of a fat man who's life involves heavy drug abuse, another example of Primus' dark sense of humour in their music.

Ratings:

The Carpenter And The Dainty Bride: 4/5
Pilcher's Squad: 3.5/5
Mary The Ice Cube : 4/5
The Last Superpower aka Rapscallion: 5/5
My Friend Fats: 5/5

All of the other tracks use this sort of dark, haunting, stadium style effect to create songs that can leave you with chills down your spine. It's good to have Primus back. If another album comes out from them, I hope it uses the same production methods, and with any luck, it'll annoy the living daylights out of the "Frizzle Fry" and "Sailing The Seas Of Cheese" department. Bands change, and to me, Primus have changed for the better. Long live Claypool and Co.

Dont wast your money.......2004-11-23

Yes I love primus, No I did not enjoy this CD. Infact The CD was primus' WORST CD. I dont know why any diehard primus fan would call this their best cd(what happened to the oldschool primus?like frizzly fry or seas of cheese) The songs were boring and repeative. Besides that the dvd was GOOD, yes it was very good. It was just overloaded with videos, live stuff,ect, but after you watch it all once you wont watch it agian, its get boaring the second time around, then ever worst the 3rd and so one. This cd/dvd is more for die hard primus fan...stick to fizzly fry!
