Chronique amazon.fr
Remarqué par les non-spécialistes pour sa collaboration avec le prolifique Nathaniel Merriweather alias Dan The Automator alias Handsome Boy Modeling School alias Deltron 3030, etc. sur le cultissime album Loveage, l’ex-chanteur de Faith No More, le non moins prolifique Mike Patton, revient poser ses mémorables vocalises de crooner. Après Mr Bungle et autre Fantomas, son nouveau projet intitulé Tomahawk réunit quelques esthètes de la confrérie metal : Duane Denison des Jesus Lizard, John Stanier d'Helmet et Kevin Rutmanis, ex-Melvins. Ce super-groupe, livré aux pires excès 3 semaines d'affilée à Nashville, lieu de résidence de Denison, a réussi à donner une digne suite à Faith No More – collectif impérial et sulfureux adepte du crossover heavy – purgé des claviers caractéristiques de Roddy Bottum. Bref, entre les déflagrations soniques mâtinées de new-wave années 80 et quelques riffs venimeux, Patton excelle dans son rôle de baryton. Tomahaw inaugure avec panache la rubrique neo-metal avant-gardiste. --Sabrina Silamo

Customer Reviews

An album that should be listened to before it is reviewed
I'm amused that at least one or two of the negative reviews are from people who saw the band open for Tool, but haven't listened to the album.

On the surface, this album is similar to FNM's _King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime_. Dig a little deeper and you get lyrical content that is not dissimilar to _The Real Thing_ and _Angel Dust_, and some stylistic quirks that resemble a more accessible Mr. Bungle.

I wouldn't put it on a level with the latter's _California_, but it's certainly a good record that deserves to spend some time in your CD player.

Put Simply - A Damn Fine Rock Album
Funnily enough, I actually got this after I got Mit Gas (Tomahawk's second album) and, upon first listen, I admit it didn't really do it for me. However (as you can see from my oh-so-rare 5-star rating) I persisted with it and it grew on me. Oh boy, did it ever. I can safely say that there's not a single song on it that I don't like. Occasionally I might not be in the mood for a certain track, but that's me and not the album.
A few people have mentioned to me that they've been unable to make the transition from other Patton projects (namely Faith No More and Mr. Bungle) into the more recent stuff. I can understand how some would have difficulty listening to Maldoror and Fantomas, but Tomahawk's a totally different kettle of fish.
That's like comparing jazz to a kiwifruit.
Denison's music (whilst not extremely complex or all that original in itself) is married perfectly with Patton's twisted lyrics and powerful vocals. This is meant to be played at a loud volume and hopefully you'll get on your neighbour's bad side by doing so.
Also, as a side note, I REALLY like the artwork on both the Tomahawk albums, but especially on this one.
See them live if you can, they sound awesome in the flesh. If you can't, buy their albums and hope there's more to come.

Extreme Addiction
Mike Patton has done it again. The musics are little different than his previous projects but surely is a great achivement. All the songs are different than each other and that makes this album truely enjoyable. Not a single song is boring and you want to skip. Mike Patton's voice is ungodly superb like always. Very powerful like Menard James Keenan (Tool) but very open and free. Some of the songs have high pitch vocal which perfectly blends with the music. "Pop 101" is a great composition with a great melodic guitar sound.
Don't listen to this album in a birthday party or car full of your stupid friends who like to jam with nonsence band like Good Charlette or Blink 182. Listen when you are alone and listen again and I will guarantee you will be looking for their other album which is Mit Gas and this one is just as great.
