a hard album for me to talk about because I have fell in love with it so hard over the span of the last month or 2. I still can't entirely place what works so hard about it, but it's just so interesting to me. I feel like a lot of my reviews have started like this recently, I should get better at this.

another remake, this time prompted by the fact that RAAAHAHHSHAHS I JUST GOT PRIMUS TICKETS IM SEEING PRIMUS LIVE. AHDHDHBD.
but alas that is irrelevant to the review. because god sailing the seas of cheese may just be a masterpiece. whilst in a lot of ways I prefer frizzle fry, and think it may be their best album, this may just be their magnum opus. from track 2 (track 1 is just an interlude so it doesn't count) the album sets a strong precedent for how incredible the songwriting is ... read more
