The Musiquarium’s Green Naugahyde Review Score: 3.5/5

Outside of a greatest hits package, an EP and the South Park theme song, Primus has pretty much all but disappeared during the 2000s, but the funk metal legends are finally back with an LP of new material.

The Fisherman Chronicles, which last ended with part three on 1993’s Pork Soda, finally sees a continuation 18 years later, with Last Salmon Man (Fisherman’s Chronicles, Part IV). Lee Van Cleef and the humorously-titled Jilly’s on Smack both scratch that Primus itch.

While not necessarily an evolution in sound, Green Naugahyde is still a solid return from one of the strangest bands of the nineties alternative era.
