SUSPENDED ANIMATION

Awesome album! I just got it yesterday and I have listened to it at least four times and I'm still continuing to be amazed by it. Only Fantomas could create something this enjoyable and creative. If you didn't know by now, Supsended Animation is an entire album based around the month of April and is chock full of cartoon music and sound effects. There is a track for each day in April and it comes with this limited edition calendar illustrated by this Japanese woman who I forget the name of. The album is more like the first Fantomas album. Also, the album is the exact opposite of their previous album Delirium Corda, which is amazing in its own right, albiet a little monotonous. Delirium corda was a long,slow, dark, one track long album. Suspended Animation is fast paced, upbeat, cartoony, and broken up into thirty tracks. The musicians are extremely talented. As always, Mike Patton does an amazing job with composing and creating the music and performing vocal feats that only he could accomplish. Buzz Osbourne adds a metal edge to the album with his searing guitar that keeps the energy up. Trevor Dunn plays extremely well on this album and is amazing as always. Dave Lombardo keeps it all together and adds to the chaos on the album with his drumming skills. If you like Fantomas, especially the first album, you will definitely love this album. If you are strictly into classic prog, you will lose your mind. Just go into this with an open mind and try not to label it, you will llove it!
