 Patton fails - again October 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really like what Mike Patton did with Faith No More and what he does now with Dan the Automator (ex. Lovage - Music to make love to your old lady by). I hated his "noise" experiments with Fantomas, Tomahawk, Mr. Bungle. Now with Peeping Tom, the tracks are actually songs, but they're just not any good. The guy has mad talent and I like his voice, but he stepped up to the plate here and struck out on all tracks. Not a single decent one you'd want to listen to again.
All the 5-star reviews are straight Patton fanboys that would give him 5-stars for punching them about the head and upper body.
Worth your ear space January 6, 2008
This is not the best thing Mike Patton has done, but it grabs you on the first listen, rents headspace for days and is pretty darn hard to forget. Songs are catchy, smooth, dangerous and near mystical in places. But is it any good?
I can understand that some people will be disappointed with this release. At times it seems self-indulgent, but in a Randian way that benefits the listener. At other times it seems confused by what it wants to be, but genre-bending is what Patton does best. You can't argue with that.
Parts R&B, parts industrial, parts world music, parts hip hop, parts metal. It's a stew of styles that works wonders. I bought it after seeing the band perform on "The Henry Rollins Show" and was hooked. I don't buy music all that often (I get most of it free from labels), but this demanded I spend some scratch on it. It will demand the same of you, and you'll be better off for it.
 Brittany Spears is more catchy than this November 27, 2007

Mike Patton says that this is his vision on radio pop music. Well, if were in that sense, than his vision is complete.
So why the one star? Because his vision on radio pop music is very accurate compared to today's pop music: forgettable, but poppy and catchy, slickly produced. Nothing worth noting, no remarkable lyrics worth remembering, just music for those kinds of people who like catchy songs with no substance and nothing but aesthetic, a musical make-up if you will. This is exactly what you'll find on this record, nothing different from regular pop music.
Ah, who am I kidding. It's not melodic or catchy. Whenever it is (mostly Mojo and Catatonia or whatever the heck it is), it's watered down and it's been done better before. Nysnc is more catchy than this! That's pretty bad, because it has all of the worst parts that make junk pop music (maybe things like Disney's Hannah Montana?!), but no hooks. Annoying, bland music with nothing worth noting. To say that basically, Brittany Spears is more memorable than this based on the fact that at least she blatantly (or most likely the writers) has her boring, generic, boring, birthday cake overload melodies to the top. Mike Patton has created nothing but crap on this album.
It's also quite a shame to see the production people, the guest stars get wasted on this turd. If you think Don't Even Trip represents Amon Tobin's amazing style, or kill the DJ represents the sublime sounds of Massive Attack, etc. than you are simply falling victim of ingnorance. No, this album does not say ANYTHING about the guest stars. Don't let this album let you get an impression of who's on this record, because if you do let this album do that, you deserved to be smacked. You also deserved to be called a moron.
So pass this one over. It's not pop music, period. It's barely musically literate ______. Nothing worth listening to, even if you are a fan of the guest stars, after all, you won't find anything representing what makes them memorable to you. Leave this album to rot in the bargain bins and pick up something by Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, etc.

What if you heard this and knew NOTHING about Patton? October 29, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If I just heard this, like I did one night watching Conan O'Brian, when they played their first... Hit??? Whatever, I would say it was a tight band with a cool song, and I would purchase the album and get into it. This is pretending I'm not a Mike Patton fan. Problem is, is that I AM ONE. I am a huge fan, as big as they come, I am a collector of rare Patton CDs and DVDs and have Heard and Seen EVERYTHING. I'm always on the Patton bandwagon, while my best friend's favorite band is FANTOMAS while he would never listen to ANY other Patton project right now... unless Bungle came back. This album should have been promoted more... and I blame Patton for that... this should have been shopped around instead of coming out on Ipecac Records. Well, they got to open for The Who (The only bootleg DVDs available) and then there were.... NO BOOTLEGS... seemed as no one cared, so Patton took them to Europe where they love anything he does - I mean, stuff like "Moonchild" (not Moonraker) and "Onitaba" goes over well in front of his Euro-avante-gard fans. The guy had a perfect opportunity to put out a ROCK album with Tomahawk, but gives us something different with the album Anonymous that was VERY original and great and everything but in the end it's like... "oh, anohter weird Patton album." So, it's up to him what he's going to do next, but, this album? I had the demo for a LONG time, and most of it is what's on the demo, just different words and different artists that pop up and it's a cool pop album that should have tried to sell themseleves to a bigger label. I like it.... But what is it? It's IT.... What is it?... (check out the movie FIRECRACKER with Patton in a lead role)
 The most listened CD I've bought in over a year!! October 15, 2007
This Cd seems to monopolize my Car stereo... the beats and music are top notch! Mike Patton just seems to work overtime... with all of his bands ex-Faith No more, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk.... etc etc. This with out a doubt is one of his best works. Very hypnotic and grooves throughout. It's like alternative rock mixed with dark hip hop. Gotta hear it to know what I mean. MOJO is definately one of my favs. Check it out especially if you are a Mike Patton fan.
