ANTIPOP

The last Primus album is a real mixed bag. Theres some utter brilliance mixed with some mediocrity. As usual the actually playing is amazing, three virtuoso musicians throwing their talent about with wild abandon. On Laquerhead, antipop and voyage there are some truly sublime moments. On the downside you still have les claypools idiosyncratic vocals and bizarre lyrical voyages which can certainly alienate the listener. But give the album a few spins and it all starts to make some sort of sense. Claypool is a god amongstbass players. He does things with that instrument which defy aural belief. Lalonde and Brain are often overlooked because of this but are both fantastic musicians themselves.

A 4 star album as there are more stand out moments than average ones.
