So, had my first listen to Chocolate Factory and found that another reference surround mix and really enjoyed the experience. I'm starting to form some opinions on the band and esp. it's leader. I'd like to run them by more experienced fans of the band...
I get a sense of satire, irony, subversion, derision, disillusionment, etc. It appears that they (or Les) like to look below the superficial surface and expose the insanity underneath the delusions. They like to poke fun, but it's not everything's a joke so much as the commonly accepted realities are so far from the truth- often the opposite of it- that they are laughable if you're willing to look.
Kinda makes sense that a bassist would want to look down below right?
Or am I reading too much into this? Or even if this might be somewhat accurate, it doesn't represent their output- just some/most of these two albums? Seems like a band that embraces "we suck" could indicate a sardonic attitude.
Hope to hear from some experienced Primus fans.
