The Grand Pecking Order - Oysterhead
Further proof the 'supergroups' are almost never super.
I was so looking forward to this record after hearing about the possibility of Copeland, Claypool and Anastasio getting together. I was so disappointed in the results. It's in my listening pile today because...well, it still bugs me three years later that it just isn't great. So I take it out, give a listen and say "Yep, still not so hot".
What I was expecting was twisted and amazing instrumentals. What I got was watered down Primus and Phish. Bleah.

Blech. I am on-board with you on this one Mark. It just doesn't make sense. Copeland is an amazing drummer. Claypool is arguably the best bass player, and Anastasio is known as a great guitar player. This was just utter tripe. We all would have been better off without this record.
