First off, what's with that album cover? I don't get it. It's awesome and all, but I don't know what I'm supposed to get out of it. I find it fascinating and morbidly amusing, though, and that's kind of how I feel about this awesome album in general. Varying styles, constant tempo/key changes, unexpected segueways, unconventional riffs, funk, metal, ska, ambience, jazz, noise...This album is an all-around musical juggernaut. Mike Patton really shows his skill and versatility here as a vocalist. The lyrics range from the contemplative and thoughtful ("Slowly Growing Deaf" and "Egg") to the absurd and disturbing ("My Ass Is On Fire" and "Dead Goon") to the silly and sleazy ("Squeeze Me Macaroni" and "The Girls of Porn").
Favorite track: "Dead Goon"
Least favorite track: "Squeeze Me Macaroni"
