i mean if you're really "falling down the primus hole" then i'd say just keep going and like what you like
i will say if nothing else you're pretty much golden up through pork soda
Owen Hernandez
The new album sucks and the Willy Wonka shit sucks but their older material is solid. Also everybody likes to talk shit but Antipop is a pretty underrated record.
Jason Phillips
Remember to check out Sausage.

The Desaturating Seven may not be classic Primus, but it is way WAY better then Antipop.
Benjamin Long
WBB is one of the best songs ever made, but other than that, meh.
Chase Miller
Frizzle Fry and Sailing The Seas Of Cheese are the best.
Everything after Pork Soda gets exponentially worse, except for The Saturating Seven which is their best in a long time.
The two covers EPs are good.

Kevin Lopez
Seas of cheese is a perfect album
Hunter Sullivan
There is literally no way you have given the rest of their catalog a listen if you actually believe that. No way.
Joseph Robinson
Keep going all the way through. It goes downhill, but the newest one is certainly better than their last few.
Jacob James
Not even "Jerry was a Racecar Driver?" Nigga you never played Tony Hawk?
Robert Adams
i liked antipop tho
Julian Ross
John the Fisherman is the best Primus song IN MY HUMBLE OPINION
Jose Sanders
Primus FUCKS
Christian Reyes
T. Has no time for Farmers' daughter
Daniel Barnes
claypool needs to stop blowing his load on all of those side projects
Jaxson Flores
Tommy the cat is obviously the best primus song ever made.
Can't believe no one has posted it.
Ethan Richardson
>that live version with TWO drum solos
So good
Isaiah Mitchell
I get this. I always thought they were 90’s alternative trash but recently listened to them again. Wild how Buttlhole Surfers and Primus were top 40 in the 90’s.
Ian Richardson
Adrian Gonzalez
Frizzle Fry is the shit and The Seas of Cheese is a very close second. Everything else I have found very hit and miss
Elijah Richardson
Early Primus is good, new primus is gay hipster shit
Kayden Campbell
it was a weird time where major labels were basically just grabbing whatever random shit they could find and throwing it into the stratosphere in case it's another nirvana
Kevin Johnson
Facts, he has no time for farmers daughters
Andrew Bennett
Just listen to everything Claypool has put out except:
-Green Naugahyde
-The Destaturating Seven
-Monolith of Phobos
-Antipop
-Of Fungi and Foe
-Willy Wonka
After you listened to everything that isn't the above, then you can check out the above in that order of recommendation as some have a few good songs here and there.

It's legitimately amazing that Primus got as big as they did, considering that nothing they did was radio friendly. Something like Pavement is much easier to swallow for normies, but they never really moved as many units as Primus did. It's just weird how shit worked out.
Levi Evans
They did make some wacky videos that were on MTV often. South Park I'm sure helped too
James Reed
It's because they were really talented at their instruments, and played them in a new and interesting way. If you can do something that teenage boys admire because it's new, but also technical, you basically have a fan base for life. It's easier said then done, though. Women are not usually loyal music fans, but they are more obsessed for a short period of time. Pavement is a little bit more feminine and song based, but also the singing is out of tune so that's off-putting to a lot of people.
Hudson Collins
William Wilson
Well, if we're talking about Pavement specifically... Primus signed to a major label Pavement didn't.
From what I gather, there were talks of them moving up to a bigger label and a big management company, but it never happened for whatever reason.
Also yes, Primus made really eye catching videos, and Claypool is a great showman. Pavement were always "fuck that, low budget, dress up in santa costumes and walk around santa monica." Malkmus is a good performer, but his stage persona is mainly some occasional dry humor, and thats it.
Jaxson White
How is that weird little riff Lalonde does in the verse so catchy? John the Fisherman might be the weirdest "pop rock song" ever.
Charles Johnson
Should I still see them live anyway?
Andrew Phillips
Yes. I saw them during the Willy Wonka shit tour and it was still awesome. The show I went to they played 2 sets with no opener. The first set was all old material and the second set was the entire Wonka album and it was all fun live. I was just mildly disappointed they didn't play John the Fisherman. Great show IMO
