专辑介绍

by Ned Raggett

The first Primus album was actually a fairly canny way for the band to get itself recorded -- like a number of other acts from the late '80s and after, the trio decided to simply record a couple of live shows for its debut. This has the advantage of not only demonstrating Primus' undeniable live flair for art/prog rock/funk of its own devising, but capturing an already rabid fan base getting off on it big-time. That said, a good chunk of the album ended up in studio form on Frizzle Fry the following year, so aside from hyperfans Suck on This is going to be a bit of a secondary listen, though many of those same fans would claim it as the superior release. Certainly the band is flat-out throughout, its tempo-shifting riffing and Funkadelic-meets-Rush rhythm explosions benefiting from a fairly crisp recording. The downside is that Les Claypool's voice is sometimes searching for breath or a touch buried in the mix, though -- songs like the merry grind of &John the Fisherman& and &Harold of the Rocks& suffer a little for it. Still, anyone who likes the Zappa/Beefheart goofy voice approach Claypool is fond of will be perfectly happy with his nutty lip-flapping on songs like &Groundhog's Day& and &Pudding Time.& The highlight is probably &Tommy the Cat,& an early favorite that didn't surface in the studio until Sailing the Seas of Cheese. Here, sans Tom Waits cameo, it's a rollicking explosion of beatnik rant and spastic lust, while the band makes one hell of a righteous noise unto the heavens. Various stage-patter snippets and other odd moments -- at one point Claypool cheerily asks the crowd to proclaim Larry Lalonde a bastard, while elsewhere the band's slogan &We're Primus and we suck& takes a bow -- fill out the disc.
