Title: Genius; or has he simply lost his grip?
Review: Mike Patton can sing, of that there is no doubt. I read other reviews about this album, and was warned that it was just a recording of voice. However, I am a musician myself, and have generally appreciated Patton's different slant on things. Knowing what he can do with his voice is what drew me in with this album.I am dissapointed.There is no theme; there is not even a melody.It's as though Patton got a hold of a digitech effects pedal and a microphone, and that's about as creative as he got. This album lacks imagination, production and creativity. Not even the most alternative minded individual will be able to relate even remotely to this collection of noises. It's not an album, but merely something you will put on your shelf and say to others 'I have it'.
