"Purple Onion" is not a primus album. I know this is nitpicky, but it just sounds as if your commenting on the album without hearing it when you attribute it to Primus.
A bassist friend played me some of it, however, and it did nothing for me. For better or worse, Claypool is always pretty easy to hear, and, whenever I hear him, I'm right back at Frizzle-Fry. His playing reminds me of Geddy Lee, who he says is an influence on him. Not my taste at all.
...was Beethoven black, as Anthony Braxton brilliantly asserts?
I don't see the brilliance in that assertion, personally. sh
