Our Take
Our Take
Some albums are like a fine wine, aging gracefully and getting better with each listen. MIKE PATTON & JEAN-CLAUDE VANNIER's Corpse Flower is more like a bottle of cheap vodka that leaves you with a hangover before you even finish the first shot.
The collaboration between Patton, the vocal chameleon behind Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, and Vannier, the French composer known for his work with Serge Gainsbourg, should have been a match made in musical heaven. Instead, it feels more like a drunken duet at a karaoke bar after too many tequila shots.
From the opening track "Ballad C.3.3" with its eerie strings and Patton's guttural screams, to the jumbled mess of "Cold Sun, Warm Beer," Corpse Flower is a cacophony of sounds that never quite come together cohesively. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded - frustrating and ultimately unsatisfying.
That's not to say there aren't moments of brilliance scattered throughout the album. "Chansons D'Amour" showcases Patton's vocal range, while "On Top of the World" brings a touch of whimsy to an otherwise disjointed collection of songs.
In the end, Corpse Flower is a puzzling and polarising listen. Some may find beauty in its chaos, while others will be left scratching their heads wondering what just happened. Personally, I'll stick to the cheap vodka - at least I know what I'm getting myself into.
