    My mom just picked upd the new "Oysterhead" album, and it seems to me that Les's tone has changed quite a bit from the twangy stringy sound from primus, to a more low end, perfect mids and highs. has anyone else noticed this?

    I bet on the next Primus album (if there is one), then he'll return to his signature sound. Oysterhead is a lot different than Primus, sound wise, so I'm sure he wanted to take a departure from that Primus tone.

    Was the cd for you? Or is your mom cool and does she like them?

    My mom likes Primus, not when they talk about masturbation though.

    i really like his tone with Oysterhead...it's more refined than the one he used in primus...maybe he's changing...?

    I was actually dissapointed with the Oysterhead album, I thought it would be the coolest album since the New Kids on the Block debut, but they couldn't deliver...:(

    now if only he would change his singing. i had no problem with his unconventional tone but his voice is one of the most naseating sounds i've ever heard produced by a human. he sings like a cross between tom waits bob dylan.
