Hi,
So untrue. Not that I'm so crazy about Primus, but I have listened enough to hear that each album, and even each song, is very distinct.
I listened to the Sausage album before knowing that was another project by Mr. Claypool and, call me dumb, I thought it was actually Primus. Then he released that solo album someone mentioned. And what was that? Primus without 2/3 of the band, leaving Claypool with his virtuosism on bass, his limitations with other instruments and a few guests with only Henry Rollins coming to mind. I listened a couple of times when it was released and never got back to it. Totally uninteresting to me and a proof that being immediately recognizable isnÂt always a guarantee. ÂTales from the Punchbowl started to sound a bit exhausted, or at least thatÂs my impression, and with ÂBrown Album their usual sense of humour was nowhere to be found. Believe me, Primus has spinned a thousand times in my stereo and I learnt the albums by heart, note by note and word by word- not from a musicianÂs viewpoint, of course. The songs are obviously different (the assertion was unnecessary), but if someone feels they have undergone a remarkable evolution in their sound during God knows how many years, please let me know cause I missed it. Not only that, but they lost their Âgrace on the way becoming absolutely boring and repetitive. And they did have opportunities to move ahead or in different directions, since ÂFrizzle FryÂ, ÂPork Soda or ÂSailing  offered a lot. But they seemed to decide to stick with what they already had without taking risks (Even Nirvana took more with ÂIn Utero considering their previous massive success!). ThatÂs why, as someone said, itÂs obvious that I havenÂt listened to any of his recent projects (I have actually listened to the Oysterhead album, btw, but no interest either). Of course I havenÂt, at the risk of missing something new from this guy, which seems pretty unlikely to me at this point. It would be as silly as expecting something good from David Bowie right now. As usual, just an opinion, or a few ones in this case. Best, Efrén del Valle _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
