I'd just like to say that Mike Patton's new project, Peeping Tom, has about the coolest gimmick digipack cover I've ever seen. If you can find a non-plastic-wrapped version, have a wee play with it (but be careful, it's probably a wee bit fragile).
The album's good, but far from his best or most startling work. It is a very good showcase for his ridiculously versatile voice, though. There are not many genuine virtuoso vocalists (in the sense of being able to sing pretty much anything) but Patton is one, and he shows off his range quite well here.
It's being touted as his return to radio-friendly material for the first time since Faith No More. Rubbish. Lovage (2001) was more radio-friendly than this, and a couple of tracks on General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners had radio potential. It's be nice to hear the Norah Jones duet get airplay though.
