Fantomas, this is a very strange band, they have their unique style and sound, thats why for the most of all of us is quite difficult to describe their albums.

Suspended Animation is another weird and loony thing, is great, because all the structure is awesome, the musicianship is great all of them make excellent music, but its very weird, and of course this isnt everybody`s cup of tea, because it could be annoying, strange and difficult to enjoy for some people, one of the main points its that this album is very original, i mean, one bad example would be Wobbler Hinterland, it is a great album, but it doesnt have anything new to show us, in this case Fantomas made a new album , new music, new sound, unique, some weird strange sound. An album with 30 songs, one song per day. and each song has their feel, i dont know what they really tried to show us, but well, talking about the album, i think is good, but only good, because when i listen to it, i enjoy it, but sometimes it makes me laguh, for example, it has lullabies, also a traditional mexican song in the penultimate song, when it looks all quiet , suddenly, Mike Patton screams, and it is the beauty of this album, all that little things, in some ways i think its funny, in some ways i think its only noise, but it isnt, all are created to have a different point of view, but well , to be honest i think the album is maybe repetitive, because i listen to the same sqeuency, i mean, silence, suddenly, scream and fast music, fast drums, then again, silence, next some strange sounds like a cartoon sound or something, and then again scream and fast drums. Maybe i could compare it to some Zappa sounds, and some VdGG werd passages, but this is not the point.

I will say that it is a good album, it really is, but IMO i can give it only 3 stars, many the most of us already know this album, bu i dont think it could be essential ,maybe a good addition, but not an excellent addition.
