4 stars Suspended Animation is an album that demonstrates that originality is what fascinates me most in a song, unlike beautiful melodies, we have a chaotic and atonal album that constantly challenges the listener with an unpredictable sound, but very creative, it is progressive, but not conventionally, each musician demonstrates a lot of skill in what it does, Dave Lombardo's insane drum kit, Mike Patton's versatile vocals and keyboard, Buzz Osborne's heavy and overwhelming guitar, or Trevor Dunn's consistent but interesting bass or simply the theme of the album which is to talk about April holidays and some very questionable ones, it's difficult to talk about the 30 tracks themselves because the way the flow of the album works is something I've never seen before, the 30 tracks are relatively short, but so experimental, which makes this album one of the most difficult to absorb, it is a very funny album, it is an album that will constantly amuse you because of how absurd it is, along with that, impressive musicianship and an excellent mix with a sound crisp and balanced, I'm not giving this album a 5 because, although I really like this album, it's not a rating I feel it deserves (although it's very close), Suspended Animation is a hilariously fantastic album, quite fun and avant-garde which I highly recommend if you want to hear something different.
