Arriving ahead of Primus’ first studio LP, Frizzle Fry, 1989’s Suck on This is a madcap introduction to bassist Les Claypool and Co.’s brand of panicked, progressive alt-funk. Recorded at a pair of Bay Area concerts, the collection features sweat-glistening, fully tweaked-and-freaked performances of future classics “John the Fisherman,” “Tommy the Cat,” and more — as well as a salute to Rush’s “YYZ.” Presenting on-point performances and engagingly eccentric character portraits, it’s proof positive that Primus has always sucked. Own it now on cool, cobalt blue vinyl.
