The Grand Pecking Order
2001
Favorite tracks: Little Faces, Army's On Ecstasy, Pseudo Suicide
Sleeper tracks: Shadow of a Man, Wield the Spade
Les Claypool: bass/vocals
Trey Anastasio: guitars/vocals
Stewart Copeland: drums
Of course this was a highly anticipated release and I think I probably bought it the day it came out. I played it once through, listened to the first 3 songs a few times more and didn't listen to the whole album again until now.
I like Primus, Phish and The Police. I think this album sounds too much like Les Claypool's solo stuff (pick a band name) and because of that, I was turned off. I appreciate the musicianship but it didn't blow me away. Guess since they only did one record, they weren't too thrilled with the band either. Maybe Copeland was too much of a prick.
