3 1/2
For the most part this is good stuff, surprisingly dynamic, and arguably Claypool's most justified side project which at best shows the eternal frontman-prankster at his vocally and instrumentally retrained peak, slipping more into a steady rhythm with his former bandmates as opposed to dominating front and center which he often tends to do. If not for the relatively weak last leg rambling on a bit directionless this would be a must have for any fan of his.

Jangly, and disjointed -- just as one would expect from the original Primus lineup. This album is pretty simple, but definitely worth owning. Only a few songs stand out, but to each his/her own...
Others have already detailed the highlights of this album, so there isn't any point in re-hashing all of that.
If you are a LC fan, you should probably own this one.
 Good stuff September 15, 2006

This is really a great album if you are a Primus fan. Most folks that I play this (or Primus for that matter) don't exactly "get it". It might be all the pot that I smoked when I wore a younger mans clothes! ;-)
This album almost killed me! June 17, 2006

I just turned thirty! If there has been one musical thread throughout my life, high school, college and now as a dad, it has been Primus. If I wanted to, I could easily define chapters in my life based on the most current Primus release. As a music major in college playing Jazz saxophone, I spent far more time practicing my bass alongside Primus than my sax. That said, for me, "Riddles are Abound Tonight" is hands down, by far, Les' greatest work. This is in no way a comment about Primus. I have room in my heart for more than one band. How did this album almost kill me? The first time I ever heard it was the day it was released on a portable CD player with a tape deck adapter in an 85' GMC Jimmy. I had been a Primus fan for a while and was not sure what to expect. When those first bass notes came through the speakers I quite litterally drove right off the damn road. I managed to save myself from disaster but not before freaking out my girlfriend who was completely oblivious as to just what it was that she was hearing. In fact, she fell asleep. I loved it. I had sausage all to myself for two complete back to back listenings on a long road trip.
I think part of what appeals to me about this album is that with Primus I had sort of been rebelling against my Jazz background, but sausage sort of embraced it in a way. In no small way due to Jay Lane. I wont write reviews of every song because I love them all. I will say however that when I read M. Casey's review of Shattering Song below I got a huge grin on my face because finally someone knows what I am feeling. At least 12 years later I still listen to this album all the time, I still hear new things and I still prefer to listen to it alone. It's sort of like my own little happy place.
Amazing CD February 17, 2006

This band is the primitive version of Primus. It is a very excellant and dynamic album, and i highly recommend it for any die hard Primus fans. So quick, indulge in the greatness
