"(. . .) First of all, I bought solely for the Primus connection and for the incredible talent of "Herb." He is an amazing drummer. This is kind of a mix of Primus meets Mr. Bungle meets Limbomaniacs meets Faith No More meets (insert the band of your choice here). I suppose it can be broken down as follows:Bass and Drum wise, very Primus. Odd-ball sounds that are featured, very Mr. Bungle. Same goes for the often abrupt chord changes and measure progression. Guitar wise, very Faith No More and Limbomaniacs. Vocals, very Mike Patton. VERY. Picture Mike as he attempts to sing in his low-key, operatic style, and you've got the idea. Imagine "Epic" or "A Small Victory" by FNM and you definitely get the picture.Beyond the similarities of other bands though, Laundry stands on its own pretty dam* well. Kind of a dark tone to the whole cd, but I think the comparisons to TOOL are a bit misplaced. Just a bit.If you can find it, definitely get it. (. . .)"
Very dark, verrrry good

"As a fan of wierd/dark music, i fell in love with this album the first time i heard it. fans of tool/primus type stuff will love this...the lyrics are very poetic and very dark. cool bass, a "chapman stick" which has a very unique sound. the drummer is tim "herb" alexander of primus fame, and he does an excellent job."
Great!!!

"This is, without exaggeration the best record I've ever heard.Just take a good notice to the unbelivable drums that HERB is playing here Toby Hawkins is GOD amazing guitars & bass If you like a dark bizarre mix of Tool,Sausage,Primus&Pearl Jam you should really check it out, 'cause this is awsome...-Better than Tool's Ænima Fantastic,look forward to it,all of you"
