Rhinoplasty (Ep) Information

Rhinoplasty is an extended play record by Primus. It was released on August 11, 1998 by Interscope Records. It features covers of songs by artists such as XTC, Stanley Clarke, The Police, Metallica, and Jerry Reed. The Japanese edition had two extra tracks and the CD was also an interactive CD-ROM which included the claymation video for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". The live version of "Tommy the Cat" is performed with "The Awakening" solo in the middle. The original song was by the Reddings from their 1980 album The Awakening, and had previously been covered by Claypool on Highball with the Devil, released under the moniker Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel.

The cover art features Japanese characters to the far left, reading out "ネセソトナニツキノハ", or "Nesesotonanitsukinoha". This nonsensical garbage text might have been used to lead listeners to believe that it is a Japanese transliteration of the album name, and fits well with the band's often indifferent approach to their music. However, the writing led others to believe that it was a Japanese import album.

In his review for Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes the EP as "another small treasure for fans." He notes that "the band hasn't chosen any surprising covers" but "makes up for it with great performances" and "startling arrangements that are often unpredictable", concluding that "it doesn't disappoint."[1]
