this record nonetheless sounds as flat as a watery fart
Oh yeah?
*crosses arms and snorts*
I like it.
Especially "Sucker" and "Mojo Running". This is pure pop goodness, if you ask me. Patton continues to surprise me with what he can do vocally and musically and conceptually.
I first heard Patton in Faith No More thanks to the monstrous and continuously awesome song "Epic," and from there I forgot all about him. Years later, I was in a huge Handsome Boy Modelling School phase and I turned to other Dan The Automator projects, like Lovage, which I loved to death then stupidly sold the CD cause I needed money. Now I can't find a decent torrent of it (hint hint PM me if you can).
The beats are dark and the production is dark. Same goes for the lyrics. It's pop in terms of structure and concept, but this is Mike Patton classic in terms of execution. Thanks for recommending this, Barbelith.
Question: I can't hear anything that sounds like Rahzel on "Mojo". Now this may be a cool thing, but I'd like to at least notice he's on the track. If his name wasn't there, I wouldn't know it's him. Does he do the roll at the very very beginning?
(By the way, I saw Rahzel once live and it was the spectacular thing I'd ever seen. He autographed my hat. Squee! Also, when he did "If Your Mother Only Knew," he did the beat and the chorus and the bass at the same time. Fucking ridonkulous!) |
