5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing live debut, May 6 2004

This review is from: Suck On This (Audio CD)

I have listened to this about 50 times and I still love every second of it. The songs that would appear on later studio albums sound pretty much the same, but it's better to compare the tracks on this to the ones on their later studio albums, since these came first.
My favorites are Pressman, Jellikit, Tommy the Cat, The Heckler, and John the Fisherman. The bass solo on Tommy the Cat is simply astounding.
And the best thing is, it's Primus.

This review is from: Suck On This (Audio CD)

My first Primus album, and STILL my favorite (i have a total of 5 of their albums now, plus the DVD, plus some recorded tapes of their various work, plus a Porch CD), and still this album has got to be THE BEST live album i've ever heard from any band!

This album is nothing less than incredible. it is definately the raw sort-of off the cuff and kinda wild sound you'd expect from a band in their early days and as such, reveals the full extent of Les Claypool's impeccable abilities. since it's live, the tracks aren't bound to the structure and precision that comes with rehearsed studio cuts. instead you get Les playing totally freelance and he just goes off on that bass of his with some hard-core solos, all throughout the album.
This is an album that many people tend to look over simply because the majority of the tracks on it are also on Frizzle Fry. Primus picked up much of their following with the release of that album and so, already having had Frizzle Fry, most of that following just skipped picking up Suck on This. That's too bad because those people really are missing out. This album is definately not one you want to skip.
If it comes down to it and you MUST make a decision for one or the other (Frizzle Fry or Suck On This) absolutely, without a doubt, no question... GO WITH SUCK ON THIS!!!!
Quite frankly... i just recently aquired Frizzle Fry for the first time and i was completely disappointed with it. after knowing what those tracks could really sound like, i felt rather cheated upon hearing the same tracks Frizzle Fry. Nothing is as impressive as when Les is unrestrained by the conformity of studio sound. but what actually disappointed me more was realizing that so many people out there have credited FF as Primus' breaking album when it really should have SOT. and, yes, FF is still a good album... compared to a lot of other bands, but it pales in comparison to SOT.

This is a great album. My first primus album. Les Claypool is an amazing bassist, now i wish i had picked up the bass instead of the guitar!!
