i haven't listened to the new one yet, but Green Naugahyde was a pretty solid album though and you should definitely check it out. You might also like Claypool's 2 solo albums, Of Whales and Woe and Of Fungi and Foe. I really enjoyed those.

I didn't like the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory album, whatever it was called.

Primus sucks!

Yeah I fucking love them. New album is pretty good too.

I've seen them twice now, once in 2010 with that Jay dude drumming and once in 2014 with the OG lineup. I might go see them in November in Akron.

The Sausage record was good too, that one was the people in Primus before Ler and Tim Alexander playing with Les.

I like 80% of the new album a LOT.

Guys, Green Naugahyde is really good. Jay Lane's approach to drumming may be vastly different to Herb's but it works so well here. It's more spacious and minimalistic save for the hi-hat abuse.

Also a heavy use of octaver by Les here. On songs like "Hennepin Crawler", "Eyes of the Squirrel" and "Extinction Burst" he nails a tone similar to Thundercat's with a little more grit and low end. Sounds immense.
