Music reviews of Purple Onion
Music Review: purple Onion
Rating: 5 Stars
This Album, in my opinion is one of my favorite Les Claypool albums, if you;ve ever enjoyed listenintg to Primus this album is for you. The bass playing is great, however there are few impressive vocals. This album is full of hits thogh ,so it's a deffinate buy, but of course in my opinion, you can't go wrong with Les, so I might just be overrating
Description of Purple Onion
Eclectic 2002 album reminiscent of old Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits and Pink Floyd. Featuring guest artists Warren Hayes, Fish Fisher of Fishbone, Norwood Fisher and Lonnie Marshall. 12 tracks. Digipak.One year after erstwhile Primus leader Les Claypool reemerged as the leader of the jammy Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade, the bass wrangler throws another curve. With Purple Onion, Claypool reigns in much of the free-floating improvisation of FFB's initial releases in favor of something more akin to a proper Primus album, complete with bizarre comic voices, eccentric scenarios, and funky interludes. But this isn't a true Primus album, since there are absolutely no seafaring references on any of the 12 songs. In fact, many of the numbers are less songs than loosely connected chapters of a concept album somewhat akin to Alice Cooper's grim 1975 classic, Welcome to My Nightmare. But instead of Cooper's disturbed Steven, Claypool chronicles David Makalster, "a 10 o'clock newscaster" whose broadcasts of doom are worthy of Frank Zappa in his prime. Claypool here demonstrates that he has the daring to take Pink Floyd's excesses and fuse them with his own nerdy paranoia to create a singular album. --Jaan Uhelszki
