Recorded at the Berkeley Square in Berkeley, California, the album showcases the raw energy and extraordinary musicianship that quickly established Primus as one of the most distinctive bands in the American alternative scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the band's sound is bassist and vocalist Les Claypool, whose highly technical, slap-heavy bass playing became one of Primus' defining characteristics. Alongside guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim \"Herb\" Alexander, Claypool creates a powerful and unconventional combination of intricate rhythms, warped guitar textures, complex arrangements, and darkly humorous lyrics. \u003cem\u003eSuck On This\u003c\/em\u003e captures the trio before their breakthrough on a major label, making it an especially important release for Primus collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with the instantly recognisable \"John The Fisherman,\" before launching into the off-kilter groove of \"Groundhog's Day\" and the frenetic \"The Heckler.\" \"Pressman\" and \"Jellikit\" showcase the band's remarkable rhythmic interplay, while side two features the legendary \"Tommy The Cat,\" with its rapid-fire vocals and virtuosic bass work. The set continues through \"Pudding Time\" and the sprawling \"Harold Of The Rocks,\" before closing with the blistering \"Frizzle Fry.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fans of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fishbone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tool, and experimental funk rock, \u003cem\u003eSuck On This\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential Primus release.
