Music reviews of Frizzle Fry
Music Review: There's a Joke or Two, a Pun or Three, A Review That Must be Told!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is my 200th review and so I thought I should make it special, so what better CD to review than Frizzle Fry? This is Thee Primus Masterpiece. Now granted, I don't have all the Primus albums, but it tops those that I do have. All the songs are unique, grabbing and there isn't any filler. On Amazon, it's very difficult for an album to get an average of five stars and this one deserves each and every one of them. This album grabs you in some way with every song, even the slow ones.
1. To Defy the Laws of Tradition 10/10:an instantly addictive opener once it hits the 50 second mark, and shows off Larry Lalonde's guitar skills and reminds you that he was used to be in the Death Metal band Possessed. Great lyrics and bass from Les as well.
2. Groundhog's Day 9/10: The beginning is a little slow, but it's just the buildup to the 2:50 mark, this song shows no mercy and Lalonde is playing with the guitar like it was a mere toy.
3. Too Many Puppies 10/10: a song about how the youth can be corrupted and so forth by being put in the military and/or brainwashed. Instantly addictive music.
4. Mr. Knowitall 10/10: I can't help but feel that this song was about a specific person that Les knew. The lyrics are priceless and the once again, the music is flawless.
5. Frizzle Fry 10/10: Nevermind that the lyrics seem to shift from a strange world to lyrics about not believing in holograms and so forth and then shift again to an instrumental for the last half. This song is fun, relaxing and powerful. Primus songs don't have to make sense but they are always interesting.
6. John the Fisherman 10/10: The first of the three fisherman chronicles, this song is the best of them all, though it sounds upbeat, it is a little depressing but it's not at the same time because of its music and the overall theme.
7. You Can't Kill Michael Malloy 2/5: Whoa? That is this? Most Primus albums feature interludes and Frizzle Fry is no exception. It's 25 seconds, but it's relaxing and actually rather humorous if you see the video on their concert DVD where they stretch it out to 2 and a half minutes.
8. The Toys go Winding Down 8/10: a very, very relaxing song that rocks me to sleep during car rides.
9. Pudding Time 10/10: FAST! Hinted at during the previous song, it's Pudding Time Children.
10. Sathington Willoughby 4/5: another interlude, this one at least features lyrics and an upright bass.
11. Spegetti Western 7/10: Probably the worst actual song on the album, the beginning with Les's crazy lyrics that are more of a depressed rant than actual lyrics are the best part of the song. It then becomes more or a repetitive instrumental but if you are in the right state of relaxed mind, this song is awesome, but that doesn't happen as it should.
12. Harold of the Rocks 8/10: Larry Lalonde's bluesy guitar solo amazes me every time I hear this song but the overall song and lyrics are not are great as pervious songs found on this amazing album.
13. To Defy 4/5: A Short Instrumental/Interlude that serves as an outro. It's a part of the first song but played backwards and with more drums, this one too, should have been longer.
14. Hello Skinny/Constantinople 9/10: The bonus song is actually made up of two songs originally performed by The Residents. Honestly I think this double Cover is way better than the originals. Les Claypool's voice fits the songs better than the originals and the music is just better and the Constantinople song is much heavier than the original.
Alright now I may have given this album a lot of 10/10 ratings, but that's only because these songs deserve it. This is an amazing album simply put. Just buy it, and listen to it yourself, you'll be come hooked instantly. I feel that Primus appeals more so towards people who are musicians and have a weird sense of humor. If you have these two things, then Primus is the band for you, especially if you play Bass. Hoped this review helped and buy Frizzle Fry, you won't regret.
