Cover Art Toenut
Two in the Pinata
[Mute]
Rating: 6.0

This is strange. I've listened to this disc three times now and still can't tell if I like it enough to keep it around. I seem to hate every two or three tracks on this, but really like the songs in between the horrible bits.

Toenut comes off as a happy, poppier Primus (with a female singer), making almost excessive use of minor notes on the bass and changing time signatures on the drums. You really have to be in the mood to listen to this, or just not pay too much attention while you do.
