About General Patton, X-Ecutioners - General Patton Vs the X-Ecutioners
You get the feeling Mike Patton did his time with major label bands like Faith No More and Mr. Bungle merely as a way to fund the stuff he's really into. He's got a solo project called Peeping Tom that includes collaborations with Massive Attack and Amon Tobin; the fourth album from his experimental instrumental outfit, Fantomas; and guest spots on Björk's Medulla and Handsome Boy Modeling School's White People. At the front of the pack is this collaboration with Oakland, California turntable crew the X-ecutioners. Using the group's punctuated scratches and samples as raw material, Patton builds a symphony of cut-and-paste chaos over which he applies his trademark shrieks and growls. It's clearly not for everyone, but those who found Jay-Z and Linkin Park's Collision Course a little too sterile will definitely find something to gape over. -- Aidin Vaziri Amazon.com

F*%#ing Awsome album as usual Mike Patton dosn't fail to impress with this releas some realy great songs and some great sampling and scratching from the Xecutioner gang. A lot of good break beat stuff the only complaint is that the tracks are not long enough!!! we could use some extended remixes from this album. would have to rate highly for Pattons side project stuff
August 13, 2008 |  | Read Deathday by Eugene Bruce while you listen! |  |
Yeah that's what i'd do - listen to Patton losing his genius marbles once again and while that's going on read DEATHDAY BY EUGENE BRUCE (No. 23 in the list if you type my name in)while you're doing so! Cheers - I love you America!
July 21, 2008Dude! It's Mike Patton! Why are you even reading this? If you're into Peeping Tom but you've worn out that cd, I'd say you need to pick this one up.
November 18, 2007| | | Mike Patton and the X-Ecutioners deliver! | |
I'm a big fan of Mike Patton and I must say this has to be one of my favorite projects, the whole CD is fantastic from beginning to end, very playable. Particularly "Fire in the Hole" "Loser On Line" and "!VAQUEROS Y INDIOS!" Makes you want get up, dance, salute, fire some heavy machinery. The strange sampling and unique lyrics will be more than enough to appeal to people who may not be normally into hip-hop, and the killer beats will win over more traditional hip hop aficionados.
May 20, 2007| | | Great Album! Amazing Rythms! | |
Although not so many people appreciates Mike Patton's ability to create music, this album helps him to vindicate his musical and creative genius.
Full of different rythms, from weird sounds to hilarious dialogs, this is a fresh, non-convencional and easy to listen material. I'm glad I bought it.
