Wow, I had never heard this album before and I started listening to the first song Elephant Talk before finishing the article. My first reaction was "this sounds a lot like Primus" and at the end of the article Primus was indeed mentioned as being influenced by this album.

Those first few notes of Discipline had the same effect on me but s/Primus/Tool.

Les Claypool's post Primus band covers a song from Discipline.

Primus / Les Claypool were also influenced by The Residents, another obscure band of inarguably talented musicians and artists creating art and music for a distinctly discerning and uncommon palate.

Gingerbread Man[0], as a visual and aural experience, is uniquely disturbing in a most enthralling fashion.
