AaronHSep 2, 2006I know, I know, putting a 10 may seem like a crass move. But the more I listen to this album, the more I'm convinced that it's one of the greatest albums of the last couple of years. Patton & Co. have done it again!

JoostNov 28, 2005+ Yes, it's still quite weird sometimes. But when being used to listen to some voice-crap of Patton, this use of his voice makes more a true combination with other instruments, sometimes you can't even distinct one from the other. Watch more cartoons. - No real "songs"

ChrisXXXJun 1, 2005While somewhat similar to the first Fantomas record, this is much better executed. The vocals, riffs, and sound effects gel together beautifully. I can only hope this leads to The Director's Cut Part 2!!!!! (Note to Patton: Do some music from Sin City. Please!)

victorMay 9, 2005amazing to hear something new.... Patton is one of the greats, his voice speaks for itself, sure everyone would like more singing from Patton, but just put on this album, watch some cartoons on mute and u'll trip out....... trust me, wicked project...

AlecSApr 23, 2005A tribute to the freewheeling, larger-than-life, id-driven impulses and perceptions of childhood. Phenomenal musicianship. Great.

ScottSApr 14, 2005For what they are trying to do this is a pretty solid album. I just saw Fantomas live and have a much greater appreciation for them now than before. Seeing Patton orchestrate what, to the unknowing listener, seems to be a bunch of noise really clarifies for you that this is carefully written material and that they recreate it well. In the end, I'm happy I picked this album up.

Although this LP is sequenced into tiny fragments of varying speeds of mood, the LP feels like one super-caffeine express fairground ride.
-
'Suspended Animation' is less a compendium of songs and more a splurging, raging, raping jazz metal fusion machine, weaving in samples, gong noises and assorted cartoon horror.
-
A fascinating blend of the macabre and the lighthearted, something that will appeal to anyone who appreciates the darker side of both comedy and music.
