It was suggested that there should be a Mike Patton thread, so I started one. I don't quite know what to suggest for a topic on the man, but one obvious question always rears it's head -
Which release from Patton's massive back catalogue is the best one?
I always vote for California by Mr Bungle and Irony is a Dead Scene by The Dillinger Escape Plan, but it's a tough choice - so many brilliant and varied titles to choose from. I didn't even mention Loveage, but that's a whole new discussion in a whole new genre...
Cool...Irony is a Dead Scene by The Dillinger Escape Plan is a great CD. The Aphex Twin cover “Come To Daddy” rocks! I think it's more of a guest appearance for Patton on this EP but it defiantly should appear in this topic. Also, I love Tomahawk - St (2001) especially "God Hates A Coward" it is a great track.
PS Duncan Black your stuff on Myspace is very impressive! Keep it up.

It's a toss up for me: The Real Thing vs. Mr. Bungle (s/t). They're both classic, and in my mind, at least, inseparable and incomparable masterpieces.

Cheers for the kind words PM3 - The first two Tomahawk albums were excellent releases (not so keen on the third one) - I've seen Tomahawk live a couple of times.
Real Thing and Mr Bungle - Interesting. I think I spent about three or four years listening to the first Mr Bungle album at least once a day - I drove most of my friends nuts with it.
I like The Real Thing too, but these days I prefer Angeldust - it just sounds a bit more weird and messed up. When it came out, I didn't like it very much and then rediscovered it years later.
