Mike Patton - Pranzo Oltranzista (1997)
While his last solo album was literally of him making weird noises in hotel rooms, screaming while jerking off or something, this one is a bit more of a musical affair but at the same time, not really. There's actual instruments involved in this one!.. But not really any songs. It's all a mixture between avant-garde, jazz, ambience, and noise, really, so it's still nothing to put on at a party where you're totally mackin- Do people still saying "mackin'"? Is that like saying "tap that"? Oh well, anyway, it's still nothing to put on at a party where you're totally rubbing up against a girl like a bar stool. I almost just left that as "stool" and had the mental image of a hot mentally-retarded girl at a party shitting her diaper. Maybe she'd enjoy this album, but I don't.
Sure, there are a few small interesting bits, like the John Zorn-lead "I Rumori Nutrienti" but this, aside from the occasional loud moments, such as in the second track "Carne Cruda Squarciata Dal Suono Di Sassofono", is just background music for you doing some weird avant-garde try-hard shit like recording yourself throwing up and reversing it + stretching it out in FL Studio to make some weird ambient shit. It's definitely (as long as you keep the volume at a suitable level) easier to make it through than the God-awful "Adult Themes for Voice" but that's still not really saying much.
