Patton's vocals are great on this album and he sticks to his notorious yet unique singing style (using the voice to its fullest capacity as an instrument) in this album. It can be a little tongue-in-cheek at points. Musically it's great too, very punky and heavy, with some noise and Middle Eastern influences added to the mix, among others. The songs are divided up into pages and frame count like a comic book. There are several short and intriguing tracks on this album that never fail to entertain.

I think this might be my favourite album with Mike Patton (Trevor Dunn as well, but this is a very Patton heavy album), with Disco Volante as a close second.
