    Primus is back to their roots! I STRONGLY disagree that Green Naugahyde sounds like Antipop, because it sounds nothing like it. Antipop was a very heavy album, but Green Naugahyde is reminiscent of Frizzle Fry and Sailing The Seas of Cheese (when they were flawless and funky!). Every song flows so well and many of them poke fun at today's news and celebrities. Overall, a fun and excitingPrimus is back to their roots!

The best tracks are "Last Salmon Man", "Jilly's On Smack", "Moron TV", and "HOINFODAMAN". Get it now! Expand

    For me this has been the best album so far this year. Hennepin Crawler, Eyes of the Squirrel, Jilly's on Smack, Moron TV, and Green Ranger are simply Primus classics. Great stuff from start to finish.

    Come on... this needs some more positive reviews. This album is fantastic. You probably won't be hearing it on the radio, so go get a copy of it. It doesn't disappoint.

    What an amazing LP.
    Not as much revolutionary as Sailing The Seas Of Cheese, but great anyways.
    This is a lot better than Antipop; my favourite track is Green Ranger.How anxious.

    Simply the best Primus album since Tales from the Punchbowl. This is a satisfying album mixing Les' groovy old basslines with convincing solos from Larry, and the return of Jay Lane is a success. A must buy for any Primus fan.

    If your taste in music runs to bands that are very much one of a kind then this odd and oddly loveable album might well be to your liking. [Sep 2011, p.52]

    While fans might be disappointed that the album doesn't feature "Herb" Alexander, they'll have a hard time being disappointed with Green Naugahyde, an album that will satisfy those in the know while continuing, as Primus always have, to baffle the uninitiated.

    If all seven of their previous studio works represent a layer in Wynona's castor Taco-Bell repast, then it's appropriate to say that Green Naugahyde takes a big bite of the whole thing.
