Review title: This is what passes for genius these days??
Product review: I admit, I had never heard Fantmas' music prior to listening to Suspended Animation. But, being a fan of Mike Patton's from his days with Faith No More, and upon reading the great reviews the album has been getting, I was curious to see what the fuss was about. I must say I'm very disappointed. Granted, there are some interesting moments and Dave Lombardo does an incredible job, but the whole thing leaves me a little perplexed to say the least.Some of it reminded me of the "interludes" on Frank Zappa's Sheik Yerbouti album while the rest, to me, sounded like a bunch of kids learning their instruments while jamming and trying to come up with good ideas for songs. Other parts sounded like listening to a CD while your finger is on the fast forward button. The interesting moments are just that, moments. My interest was drawn for a few seconds and then the moment had passed and I was back listening to noise.Frankly, I'm very glad I didn't pay for the album.
