Very good
Very good, but not as good as his work with Primus or his other solo efforts.

Again, Les Claypool changes the way I look at rock. His unique style is unmatched. Now, if I can just find a copy of Electric Apricot and the Quest for Fenderloo, my collection will be complete (until his next album).
I love bass, love it. but sampling some of these songs made it sound too abstract at first, but i ended up really enjoying one song in particular. if nothing else, just listen to each, and at least one will catch your ear and rip it off (positively). for me it was 'one better' check it.
I have written so much about said Claypool. Yet, he never calls. Mr. Claypool is a gifted musician -- I recall a time when he played his bass facing opposite the crowd. I belive that this man is genius. But, you decide. Enjoy this album, but don't stop here. Les Claypool, Primus, Sausage, etc., is an awakening of the senses. You will become a better person by listening.
One sometimes wonders if Hendrix came back as a bass player. Such is the virtuosity of Les Claypool. But please don't take this to mean that his work is somehow one dimensional. Les, as was the case with Hendrix himself, is also one of the more interesting and underrated song writers of his generation. Truely, all Les Claypool related work is essential listening and this is not an exception.
