MIKE PATTON Finds Success Of New FANTOMAS Album 'Astounding'Former FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton has told Billboard.com that his plan to release two diverse FANTOMAS albums months apart was derailed after something completely unexpected occurred with the first disc, "Delirium Cordia".
"It shipped like double what [FANTOMAS' 2001's release] 'Director's Cut' shipped, and that to me is astounding," said Patton. "This is the weirdest creature we've ever made, and probably will ever make, and the fact that people are giving this thing a chance, I don't know. It does nothing but raise more questions and make me feel more clueless. Rather than trying to figure it out, I'm just concentrating on the next one, getting that together and the artwork. I think it is funny, and ultimately ironic and beautiful, that a record like this could do well because that just proves people don't know shit, including me."
