General Patton vs The X-Ecutioners - L.O.L. - ¡Loser on Line! (Hate the Player, Hate the Game)
Track Review
Released: 2005
Download It (5.0MB)
The only phenonemon more prolific in today's popular music landscape than Jay-Z mash-ups are Mike Patton side projects. The former Faith No More frontman has, at any given time, about 5-10 bands/projects on the go.
Now Mr Lazy has decided to unleash a hip-hop album (!) on an unsuspecting public, this time teaming up with hip-hopping turntable masters The X-Ecutioners.
It won't surprise anyone who's familiar with Patton's recent output that this is no normal hip-hop album. Check out the bizarre militaristic-jargonized track titles on this mother. (There's an anti-war motif there, but Patton's intentions are never clear). As for the music, it's crazed avant-garde sampling glitch/noise-art with accompanying crazed Patton yelps, screams, and sometimes even vocals.
The track I've made available for download is probably the closest thing that actually resmembles a "song" on the album. Thematically and lyrically it's a natural extension of the ideas explored in "Naked In Front Of The Computer" from the final FNM album in 1997 (Album Of The Year).
Only Patton could, and would, pen a song about guys accessing the interweb and double-clicking on barely-legal live webcam video-feeds, and only Patton could get away with using orgasm and modem-noise samples and somehow pop out the other end sounding cliche-free, compelling and hilarious.
Keep an ear out for the unexpected mournful low note about 2/3 into the track which precedes the final chorus blast. Even in a more conventional song structure Patton still brings something new to the table.
This track is dedicated to all of you who've spent a Friday night at home downloading busty porn.
You know who you are.
7/10
