Primus - Sailing The Seas Of Cheese

Primus' major label debut (and third release overall), 1991's Sailing The Seas Of Cheese had a long chart life, eventually being Primus' first release to go gold and break the band to a wider audience. Basssist/singer Les Claypool's bizarre sense of humor runs rampant through out--igniting such tracks as the stomping "Here Come the Bastards," the "Full Metal Jacket"-esque "Sgt. Baker," the explosive "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver," and the long and winding "Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers." Also featured was a new version of "Tommy the Cat," featuring Tom Waits on vocals. Regrettably, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese was Primus' last truly classic release. (Primus)
