    Larry "Ler" LaLonde plays his complimentary role so well it's scary, Claypool has never sounded better, and Jay Lane jumps back onto the train before it goes a-chuggin' without him again.

    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]

    Overall, the writing is richer, peaking with the somber songcraft of "Last Salmon Man."

    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.

    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.

    Jay Lane clearly understands how to complement Claypool's busy bass lines and LaLonde's unconventional guitar playing, and his drumming fits in really, really well with the group.

    Green Naugahyde is all rubbery, aggro Bootsy, picking up where 1999's nü-metal-chasing Antipop left off.

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