 Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
With Sailing the Seas of Cheese, however, the zaniness is significantly less than it was on Primus’s studio debut, Frizzle Fry, resulting in an even more endearing, unique listening experience unlike anything before or since.
Sailing is a surprisingly dark album whose finest songs are those that delve into paranoia, drug abuse, the roots of conformity and humiliating poverty.
Because listening to Sailing the Seas of Cheese is not unlike settling in for a night of cartoons: it’s bizarre and unselfconscious; it’s something you do in your underwear with bong in hand; it’s something you’re likely to do without a member of the opposite sex anywhere near you.

 PRIMUS Sailing the Seas of Cheese reviews and MP3
Seas of Cheese flows really nicely all throughout with a good mix of full length songs and short, silly songs, giving the album a edge that most music is missing.
Seas of Cheese and Grandad's Little Ditty are not exactly song, but more of filler and are nice additions to the album.
Seas of Cheese is a nice intro, just a little tune with oceanic and boat noises.

Sailing The Seas Of Cheese - Miscellaneous Debris - Pork Soda - Riddles Are Abound Tonight - Tales From The Punchbowl - Highball With The Devil - Brown Album - Antipop - The Grand Pecking Order - Purple Onion - The Big Eyeball In The Sky
Much more focused and harder hitting than Sailing The Seas or Pork Soda, so if you're looking for loose jamming this may not be the Primus disc for you, but it's my favorite.
Everyone shines: Lalonde throws in a refreshing mellow section to the otherwise pounding "Professor Nutbutter's House Of Treats" and amusing Jimmy Nolenisms on "Del Davis Tree Farm"; Alexander sets up a heavy funk groove on "Year Of The Parrot"; and Claypool is just a bit more discplined than usual.

Perhaps the most interesting wrinkle in this reunion is the band's decision to play two sets, the first being a selection of highlights from their vast repertoire and the second a performance of 1991's undying oddity Sailing the Seas of Cheese in its entirety, start to finish.
We were always an independent band, kind of a cult band, and all of a sudden we were going to be marketed alongside the Bon Jovis the Gerardos of the world.
And so to us, we were going to sail the seas of cheese.

 Primus : Sailing the Seas of Cheese - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The first Primus album to achieve much widespread airplay (thanks to its release on a major), and the one that broke them on MTV, Sailing the Seas of Cheese completely redefined the possibilities of the electric bass in rock music for those who'd never heard the group before.
Slapping like a funk player, but strumming power chords and finger-tapping like a metal guitar hero, Les Claypool coaxed sounds from his instrument that had rarely if ever been made the focus of a rock band.
Though Sailing the Seas of Cheese tones down Primus' penchant for jamming, it's the tightest, most song-oriented representation of their jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind style.

 Q & A with Les
You might get Primus, which look and sound like a cult band, despite the fact that their 1991 album, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, went gold and their latest release, Pork Soda, recently debuted at no. 7 on the pop charts.
They always talk about working with highfalutin producers, and we were like ‘Nope.’ We don’t pinch pennies, but it doesn’t make sense to go into a studio and spend shitloads of money.
I was born in a suburb by the East Bay, a rural, almost redneck environment.

However when I heard that they were going to do a show with no openers AND play Sailing the Seas of Cheese in it’s entirety I just had to go.
By the time I got around to trying to get tickets they were well sold out, fortunately their publicist was kind enough to hook me up with tickets and a photo pass so I wouldn’t miss this once in a lifetime experience.
The band returned and went straight into what I (and surely a lot of others) was waiting for, the entire Sailing the Seas of Cheese album.

Primus is a phenominal band, Les Claypool being on my top 5 bassits list, he is number one to alot of people.
After Primus released the cult classic "Frizzle Fry" in 1990, they signed with Interscope records and released "Sailing the Seas of Cheese".
Due to regular rotation of the Jerry was a Racecar driver video in 1991 and steady airplay of the song, Primus became a household name.

 Prindle Record Reviews - Primus
It deserves a 10/10, Sailing the Seas of Cheese's only two good songs are Tommy the Cat and Those Damn Blue Collar Tweakers.
Sailing The Seas Of Cheese is much better.
The tunes are much better overall (with less filler to boot) and his singing is much less irritating, probably 'cause the album is darker as a whole and there is more of a metal influence here (compared to what I remember from Pork Soda).

Little did Alexander realize that trying to get a rock band off the ground in today's 'do ityourself" music business is not quite as easy as sailing the seas of cheese.
But Primus, Tim had laid down some unique and groundbreaking drumming, helping to launch the underground Bay Area post-punk progressive band into stardom.
Two gold records (1991's Sailing The Seas Of Cheese and 1995's Tales From The Punch Bowl) and their hugely successful 1993 release, Pork Soda (which debuted in Billboard's Top-10), established the quirky trio as a pop act with a twist.

The first set consists of their legendary "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" album in it's entirety!, then they take a break and do a second set.
The Cure actually did this but they did three albums over the course of three nights and it is available on DVD, it's called Trilogy.

Yet their place here is secure, as they have clear metallic lineage, with Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde previously playing in the thrash band Blind Illusion and LaLonde earlier appearing in the seminal thrash/death band Possessed.
And there are definite metallic tendencies throughout their work, though quite evidently more prevalent on the earlier work such as Frizzle Fry (still the BNR choice for their best work) and Sailing The Seas Of Cheese.
Primus are truly in a world of their own, with a style completely unlike any other, with Claypool's inventive basswork, quirky vocals, and offbeat lyrics the obvious focal points.

Another vote for Sailing The Seas Of Cheese.
Frizzle Fry is the best without a doubt, but Seas of Cheese is amazing too.

The show is set to consist of two acts: One will showcase the band's back catalog, with a setlist to vary from night to night, and the other will solely consist of a start-to-finish performance of its 1993 album, Sailing the Seas of Cheese.
During each set, visuals will be "improvised" alongside the music--just another trick from a band that has kept onlookers guessing since its late-'80s inception.
