it is. Primus will rock forever. very much a part of the music i grew up on. the original band line up (as far as releases goes [there were several different line ups before that]) is the best, w/ Tim Herb Alexander.

i am on a kick to get all of the albums on cd - i had pork soda and sailing the seas of cheese and the brown album - so i am getting the rest slowly so far i really like them all -
1 pork soda - for me the obvious best - sounds experiemental at times, its not too distorted production sounds great, drums, guitars and bass all sound superb - + lots of ideas floating around this one, at time it sounds like a tom waits album.
2 tales from the punch bowl - for me it was there last great album, even though the one after sounded pretty good - but there is a lot going on on this one, i would say its there most straight forward and accessible release. it just rocks though, the bass is unbelievable.
3 sailing the seas of cheese / frizzle fry- this and frizzle fry are like the roots of primus, they are both dirty, but raw sounding, + they are primus's heaviest albums - not really experimental but really good music on both.
4. the brown album / antipop - for me these are the only albums that i havent loved after a bit. i do think they are essential, but they wear off quickly and dont offer much for ideas.
5. rhinoplasty - havent heard/ purchases this yet, will very soon.

oh, their stuff is so enjoyable!
i love their earlier albums better, the first three ones are definitely my favs... Tim Alexander is an excellent drummer.
and 'Sailing...' has some of the best artwork ever!
btw, i know there are a few biggest Primus fans on xltronic - Forck_02lynix, Oddioblender and others.

yo, tallyho!
definately my all time favorite band, it's just amazing how well they play individually and together. i was able to see them twice in a week during the tour de fromage in 2003 in new york city. best week of my life.
SPD - animals is definately worth the money. the videos, live footage, extra stuff is excellent. plus the ep sounds like they picked right back up after punchbowl. live dvd is really good too, but they could have done better with filming tim. you hardly see what he's doing.

i never liked Tales... (seemed like thats when they were on a downslope w/ Tim on his way out.)
but that DVD, F yes. i still have the Cheesy Home Video in a drawer somewhere. i was all Primus all the time in '93 and after that it was on to my NIN fix, and now this. but before it all...there was Peter Gabriel, the King.
didn't know there was an EP that came w/ the dvd though. thanks dude for that info.
