The John Bills 100: 95

95: Peeping Tom - 'Peeping Tom'.
Mike Patton, Mr.Productive himself, finally released a pure pop record. Well, its a pop record, but not as you'd know it. It is modern day pop music, twisted and forced into new interesting shapes. Nobody every doubted that Patton would be able to do this and do it well, but some of the results are blindingly good. 'Mojo' is as blatant a single as there is, all be it a dark and slightly demented one. It sounds like a party, but a really dark one. 'Five Seconds' opens the album with a similar dark party vibe, and is probably the best song on the record. Supposedly there was enough material for another 2 records, but these are yet to see the light of day. C'mon Michael. He said that this is the type of music he would want to hear on the radio, and by god I wish he was right.
