4.5 superb | Inflames | January 18th 07 | 'Frizzle Fry' is definitely the best Primus CD there is. (That I have listened to) 'Pork Soda' and 'Sailing seas of cheese' have their moments, but this Album has a better rythem overall (and songs.) Groundhog's day and Mr. Know-it-all are recommended as 'must listen to' if you ask me.

4.0 excellent | Britch2tiger | April 28th 17 | If there is any validity to Mr. Cobain's view of how a song's music is the primary focus while lyrics come as secondary, this is an album that certainly supports his premise. Where the instrumentations are funky & quirky, the lyrics heard are just as if not weirder than their audible accompaniment. Definitely an album worth hearing if you are a System of a Down or Faith No More fan!

5.0 classic | RLWFormula | November 11th 16 | God, I love this. There is nothing better than hearing Claypool's frantic, over-the-top bass riffs and the tight drumming from Herb. Solid debut from these guys

4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | January 18th 16 | It's common knowledge that Les Claypool is one hell of a bassist, but can we talk about how awesome Tim Alexander is on the kit for a moment? I mean, this man carries the entirety of this record with him, and does so with flair, skill, and an undeniable penchant for polyrhythmic techniques. Claypool's bass skills only seem to feed off of and into Alexander's drumming, improving the sound of both instruments. There's a great fusion of funk and alternative metal going on, with some very catchy and sometimes even unnerving sections of music throughout. The cherry on top of this is the humor the album displays. It's pretty strange at first, and sometimes over the top, but this is all intentional. On "Harold Of The Rocks", one of the lyrics betrays this self-awareness: "Harold, he's a friendly guy, he rambles on and on. He'll talk the balls off a rhinoceros, fact is, he just doesn't make much sense." It's just another one of the things that makes Frizzle Fry a fun, interesting, and engaging listen.

4.5 superb | BRAman22 | May 27th 14 | This starts off funky as fuck, after jokingly opening with a Rush segment. Not a bad track throughout the first half of this album. The second half has three tracks that are under a minute long and are interludes. I never like interludes, it usually just seems to me that they're trying to make it longer for no reason. In addition to that, the songs on the back half of the album are not as consistently as great as on the front. With that said, the actual songs were still fairly entertaining. The lyrics seem really weird, they're kind of funny though. While the bass is always what is talked about with this band, I feel that the guitar is actually the component most vital to these songs being so good. Not knocking the bass by any means, as it is obviously great and funky throughout.

4.5 superb | mandan | May 21st 14 | Encompassing a diverse array of influences into an eccentric whole, Frizzle Fry is a debut quite unlike any other. Solid from top to bottom, few debuts have been this good.

4.0 excellent | TRMshadow | February 7th 13 | More than just "Too Many Puppies" and "John the Fisherman". This thing is choc-full-of fun, innovative, interesting music. At times Claypool can get a little too deep in his own world and can get out of contact with his audience, but he found the perfect equilibrium with this album. 3.8/5

0.0 | bastard | December 20th 08 | Primus at their most metal. Frenzied Hick funk bass playing with Pedalized Guitar playing and Tech Metal drumming, Frizzle Fry is the most wacky, insane, odd ball release that Primus has or ever will release.
