While Primus 1989 live album, Suck on This, was technically their first release, 1990s Frizzle Fry is their first studio-recorded masterpiece and the most accurate representation of the bands singular identity. Les Claypools funky, ramshackle basslines, uncharacteristically silly vocals and oddball lyrics synthesized into a quasi-metal sound like no one elses, and this record is packed with highlights ranging from Too Many Puppies and John the Fisherman to the wacky drug addict character study, Harold of the Rocks. Get yer Frizzle Fry on wax.
