 One of the original and most distinctive alt-metal groups, a whimsical party band 

with chops that absorbed punk rock, thrash, speed metal, and funk. 

Primus is all about Les Claypool; there isn't a moment on any of their records 

where his bass isn't the main focal point of the music, 

with his vocals acting as a bizarre side-show

RECORD NEAR MINT but (please, read above description)

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

The first Primus album to achieve much widespread airplay (thanks to its release 

on a major), and the one that broke them on MTV, Sailing the Seas of Cheese completely 

redefined the possibilities of the electric bass in rock music for those who'd never 

heard the group before. Slapping like a funk player, but strumming power chords 

and finger-tapping like a metal guitar hero, Les Claypool coaxed sounds from his 

instrument that had rarely if ever been made the focus of a rock band. Claypool's riffs 

were so full and dominant that they hardly needed to be doubled by guitarist 

Larry LaLonde (and wouldn't have had the same effect anyway), which freed him 

up on most songs to launch into dissonant, atonal solos that essentially 

functioned as texture, complementing Claypool's oddly whimsical sense of melody. 

The combination results in a weird atmosphere that could be transformed into 

something dark or eerie, but Claypool's thin, nasal voice and demented blue-collar 

persona place the record firmly in the realm of the cheerfully bizarre. 

The compositions are mostly riff-driven, fleshing out their heavy metal roots 

with prog rock tricks from Rush and Frank Zappa, 

as well as the novelty side of Zappa's sense of humor...(AllMusic)
