Tom Morello, Tom Waits, Matt Stone, Fred Durst behind the board on various tracks — the last Primus album before the hiatus, and it sounds like a band trying on other people's jackets. Restless, guest-heavy, a little sour, occasionally great.
If the restlessness is the appeal, C2B3 is the logical non-Primus hop. If you want them to remember they are Primus, skip to the 2003 reunion EP.
If that scratched a particular itch
Experimental collab, no Primus name
The Big Eyeball in the Sky
Why this next
Same restless mood, no Primus name. C2B3 takes the kit elsewhere.
The reunion EP
Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People
Why this next
Herb walks back in. Hiatus over, EP-length.
Leave the band name entirely
Of Whales and Woe
Why this next
Leave the band name entirely. Fancy Band Claypool.
The later reboot
Green Naugahyde
Why this next
The later reboot. Lane on drums, bounce restored.
