Oh, and for the record, don't take me as a fanboy. I'll be the first to admit: Mike Patton is a horrible songwriter. The only good albums he's made are when he aligned himself with great musicians. Just look at Faith No More's post-Martin output. It's bloody awful.

I know quite well how accomplished he is, especially in regards to his various collaborations (I've always enjoyed Tomahawk and a good deal of the stuff he did with Zorn). Disregarding him is almost as idiotic as worshipping him IMO.
Also, I've never listened to FNM's stuff post-
Angel Dust, but I'll take your word for it.
Urban: Of course not. We all know how easily you get bored.
