    • Mike Patton may well be one of the hardest working men in showbiz these days, and his latest with Fantômas underscores just about how far out he is willing to travel.

      Suspended Animation is thirty tracks, each named for a day in April of 2005 in which the listener is repeatedly assaulted by an orgy of cartoon samples, metal, and electronic beats and beeps, where accessible music arrives for maybe only ten seconds at a time.

      Far easier to parse than 2004's single 75-minute track Delirium Cordia, Suspended Animation is actually quite enjoyable if the listener is willing. It may be one of the most fun avant-garde records ever made, something Mike Patton has spent the better part of twenty years doing.
