Free Music Notes for Album of the Year

Free Music Review: head on into greatness
Hit: 5 Stars

Album Of THe Year is all about coming to terms with things in life (or catharsis), accepting death (and anticipating the exciting ways to die), and then what the afterlife will be like, as well as a few insults against religion. Essentially the general theme of about half the songs on KING FOR A DAY, just different of course...this being done by mastermid Mike Patton, you know it's going to be a concept album masterpeice...

"Collision": Life and death in speed, the old thrill of "live fast, die young" is showcased here in exemplirary form. It might also hold references to J.G. Ballard's book Crash, since it holds the lyrics "Collision, my mission" and that story's theme was a guy crashing head on into Elizabeth Taylor's lemo.

"Stripsearch": About how he doesn't need organized religion to get to heaven, he'll do it by his own means, and seems to hold imagery of angels giving him a pre-access stripsearch (hence the name). Great soft techno arrangements which sound vaguely of Sarah McLachlan believe or nuts.

"Last Cup Of Sorrow": There's more to life than being sad and restrained all the time, basically. The cool thing about this is the inclusion of childish synthetic bells in with the rock, but that's Patton, always taking chances no matter how big or small.

"Naked In Front Of The Computer": I've analyzed this harcore fast number and I think I understand it now--off the head it seems to be about how there are so many things to say even though we don't know anything really, take it one step further and all the various ways to do and say things are within the Internet and the compter, another interesting waste of time. Maybe I think too much...

"Helpless": Like Stripsearch in lyrics, but more poetic, kind of like the classic poem Thanatopsis...it's about the soil, existence, doing things on purpose to die; it's also about getting to the afterlife without help...but he bails in the end. Great acoustic arrangements.

"Mouth To Mouth": Great anti-religion track, aided by Bunglesque circus keyboards. Religion is a myth passed on through ignorant folk by mouth to mouth, and it leaves you empty in the end, and if it's not one church it's another. Love it.

"Ashes To Ashes": The most popular number from this bunch, once again about death. This sems to be about 2 lovers tossing poetic truths to each other: "Give it all to you then I'll be closer, Smiling with the mouth of the ocean, I'll wave with the arms of the mountain".

"She Loves Me Not": Funny, unemotional little gem about a cruel girlfriend. Reminds me of THey Might Be Giants or Ween.

"Got That Feeling": Zooming, full life, take the risk, all of that good stuff. Close to the most "rocking". GET YOUR OWN LITTLE PEICE OF HELL...GET IT, GET IT, GET YOUR GOLD!

"Paths Of Glory": Both the most intense and serious song, centers around the pointlessness of war all because of what man thinks he has to be. Blood everywhere...

"Home Sick Home": Dysfunctional family music, funny in a disturbing way...

"Pristina": 2 lovers dying together, played out in simple rock opera finale whathaveyou bugaloo ererer chords. Great ending to what was most certainly crafted as a concept for the end of a career, hence the name of the album...

A definite buy for any Patton or FNM fan.
