Holy shit, Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantamos, Kaada/Patton) is back again, and who is his latest collaborators? Well the X-Ecutioners, who else would he choose? So east coast meets west coast as these to vastly different artists trade one crazy ass sound after another. Patton takes care of the whacked out vocals and a lot of the composition as the X-Ecutioners, Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, Roc Raida and Total Eclipse, take turns scratching, spinning and completely destroying each track. Sounds jump from Latin to Jazz, bluegrass to soul, sixties psychedelic to swing… it is really quite ridiculous. Most songs are pretty short snippets piled with sounds, but there are a few longer cuts and even a single or two. I’m sure this takes a certain type of listener to dig, and I’m also sure you know who you are so play away and enjoy the General’s genius antics.
