Rhinoplasty is an extended play record by Primus. It was released August 11, 1998, by Interscope Records and features covers of songs by artists such as Stanley Clarke, Metallica, and Jerry Reed. The CD also features an interactive CD-ROM which includes the claymation video for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". The 2018 digital remaster and vinyl reissue includes "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" as the eighth track.
The live version of "Tommy the Cat" is performed with "The Awakening" in the middle. The original song was by The Reddings from their 1980 album The Awakening; the song had previously been covered by Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel on their album Highball with the Devil.
Cover art
The cover art features a clay figure sculpted by Claypool. The Japanese katakana characters to the far right are ostensibly a translation of the EP's title, however, when read phonetically they spell out "Nesesotonanitsukinoha", a completely nonsensical word.
Critical reception
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."
