Oct 23, 2014This is a perfect match of old school talent and righteous inspiration.
-
Nov 10, 2014Taken for what it is, Primus & The Chocolate Factory is a fantastically ridiculous release that should please fans of either [Primus or Willy Wonka].

Classic Rock MagazineDec 16, 2014Primus are an acquired taste, but a taste worth acquiring. [Dec 2014, p.107]

UncutNov 11, 2014It's all a little too eagerly oddball at times, but generally avoids the trapdoor marked Novelty. [Dec 2014, p.78]
-
Kerrang!Dec 16, 2014While this retains their characteristic strangeness, you could argue it isn't the best use of their considerable talents. [8 Nov 2014, p.54]

Nov 12, 2014He and Alexander have also stayed mostly away from the slap-bass and funk drums that made Primus’ early hits so compelling, so don’t expect the usual extravagant workouts. Instead, this album is best viewed as the point where Claypool’s interests in film and music meet at a sort of psychedelic flashpoint.
