Customer Reviews of Director's Cut
So, Patton released a covers album, eh? Well, not quite. The only Fantomas album I've heard that really grabbed me, Director's Cut is a great album for those who want something dark and bizarre yet also catchy and dramatic. A covers album you say? Well, of sorts. Here, a selection of film scores are rearranged for buzzing guitars, pounding bass, thrashing drums and experimental vocals. Its scary, beautiful, epic and plain f'ing weird. <

>Those of you expecting the off the wall, jazz tinged, avant garde sound of Mr Bungle will be dissappointed (as was I at first, if I'm honest). Fantomas is a much more metallic, stripped down and altogether darker experience. Patton's vocals are all over the place as ever but those of you who think he indulges too much in being odd will be pleased to hear that he's just as capable of singing powerfully as is of expanding the horizons of what really constitutes a vocalist. The songs all have their own identity (due to, essentially, being written by totally different people) but the way the band arrange and play them also ensures a sense of continuity. <

>As I said before, Director's Cut is the only Fantomas album I've gotten into so far but I highly recommend it for experimental metal fans.
It's Bungle-Quality ladies and gents
This album is PHENOMENAL. Where am I coming from when I say this? Well, Mr. Bungle is probably my favorite band ever, and Patton is my favorite performer. However, I've never been excited about any of Fantomas or Tomahawk's releases. In fact, I've found them quite disappointing, and I never listen to my copies of any of them. So I'd kind of given up on Fantomas altogether until I saw the Director's Cut for $6.99 used a few weeks back and figured "what the hell".

>I don't know what it is about the music on this CD, but I haven't been this satisfied with a Patton release since I first heard Mr Bungle back in 1997, and then again after California was released some years later.

>SO TO SUMMARIZE: I never thought I would be this impressed with the work of Mike Patton again. Every song on this album is unique and incredibly satisfying. Just so you don't think I'm some drooling fanboy who gives rave-reviews to every album, I'll rate a few other Bungle/Fantomas albums as well for you so you can get a gauge on my levels-

>(by the way, if you still haven't heard Dillinger Escape Plan's 4 track release starring Mike Patton, that's another MUST BUY album)
Perfect
I first saw Fantomas open for Tool in 2001. I didn't know anything about Mike Patton other than his Faith No More stuff. Wow was that a great show. Patton insulted the crowd, messed with our heads, and generally tried to incite us to violence. Similarly, this album wants the listener to feel scared and exhilirated at the same time. It covers traditional soundtrack material, so you know most of the songs already, but the band adds their own personal strangeness in ways that I can't describe. It's eerie, affecting, and downright genius. I can't say enough good things. Highlights include "Cape Fear", "Spider Baby" and "Der Gollum". A must have for any Patton, Melvins, or Slayer fans looking for a good time, a few laughs, and even some fright.
