Their ensemble interplay continues to grow in complexity and musicality, and that’s really what fans want from a Primus record anyway. This can result in some overly repetitive sections, since Claypool’s riffs are the basis for most of the compositions, but it also showcases the band’s ever-increasing level of musicianship. Stylistically, it isn’t much different from Sailing the Seas of Cheese, though the band does stretch out and jam more often. It was enough to make their second major-label album, Pork Soda, one of the strangest records ever to debut in the Top Ten. Once audiences got a chance to hear Primus’ instantly recognizable sound, driven by Les Claypool’s bizarrely virtuosic bass riffs, their audience grew by leaps and bounds.
