    ...oh my god. This album ranks up with the Bungle albums.

  • Overall:

    A most interesting record.

    I just plain like it.There's quite a lot going on and, besides the fact that it's just a lot of fun to listen to the different sounds on the record, I find it enjoyable to muse over the fact that this was all done using only someone's voice, a four t...rack and a microphone.I'm glad Mike Patton did something interesting instead of just some Chris Cornell / generic front man solo project.

    Nothing could prepare anyone for the full-on noise attack of Mike Patton's Adult Themes for Voices, not even Mr. Bungle fans. There isn't a note of music on the album; it's essentially noise. Recorded in hotel rooms during a Faith No More tour, all of the sounds are created from Patton's voice, which is pretty darn amazing. The album doesn't contain traditional songs as such; it plays as a continuous piece, and hence there are no obvious highlights. For instance, the track "Wuxipian Fantastique" could be described as sounding like a dying person taking their last breath, accentuated by harsh scraping noises, squeaks, and underwater sounds. And since there are a total of 33 pieces, it seems to be never-ending. Most may find this album hard to take, but fans of original, hard-hitting experimental music will eat it up. If you're sick of melody and musical instruments, your savior may be Mike Patton.
