Antipop by Primus
Antipop is an album by Primus, released in 1999. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Electric Uncle Sam”, on 9 lists with a best position of #93.
Antipop, Primus's sixth album, came out on October 19, 1999, through Prawn Song and Interscope, and it plays like Les Claypool threw open the doors and let the guests take over. Alongside the band, the producer credits run from Tom Morello to Stewart Copeland, Tom Waits, Matt Stone and Fred Durst, and the result is a lurching, wildly varied set of funk metal oddities, Claypool's bass slapping and thwacking at the center of it all.
"Electric Uncle Sam" is the one the countdowns picked up. Reviews were mostly positive, but it closed a chapter: it was the band's last album with drummer Brain, and their last release before a break that ran from 2000 to 2003.
