Primus' major label debut (and third release overall), 1991's SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE had a long chart life, eventually being Primus' first release to go gold and break the band to a wider audience. Basssist/singer Les Claypool's bizarre sense of humor runs rampant through out--igniting such tracks as the stomping "Here Come the Bastards," the "Full Metal Jacket"-esque "Sgt. Baker," the explosive "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver," and the long and winding "Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers." Also featured was a new version of "Tommy the Cat," featuring Tom Waits on vocals. Regrettably, SAILING THE SEAS OF CHEESE was Primus' last truly classic release.

Primus: Les Claypool (vocals, bass); Larry "Ler" LaLonde (guitar); Tim "Herb" Alexander (drums).

Additional personnel: Tom Waits (vocals); Mike Bordin, Butt House.

Spin (6/91, p.78) - Highly Recommended - "...waves of wackiness...awesome bass slapping...these tunes are definitely big fun..."
Q (5/95, p.130) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...catches their tight, cartoon funk at its best. When it works....it's a little like the late Jane's Addiction, with fewer histrionics. The lyrical mix of shaggy dog stories and mock protest are from the silly but cool school..."

If you do dig Primus and have only been exposed to more recent albums "Brown Album" or "Antipop" definitely check out the old stuff, including this which is one of their best albums, and by far the cheesiest. Psst...and for those of you out there who are fans of the Brit series "The Young Ones" listen for Rik and Ade shouting "You Bastards" on the end track re-hash of Los Bastardos...

5 stars Bastards!
popping bass lines, wild squeeling guitars,grooving drums, and redneck/circus freak storytelling vocals. yep, this is what insanity must feel like. Each song tells a strange, twisted, cartoony story. Of course this maked primus an acuirred taste and you either love em or hate em. Seas is primus's finest hour.
