I was really looking forward to this CD after having seen Fantomas live and then Melvins live a few months later. Sadly, this effort to merge the two bands is a disappointment. The sound quality is bad and the "tightness" of the Fantomas songs just doesn't come accross with such a large ensemble. Stick to the studio albums - this is for die hards only. Although hearing Patton sing Hooch was cool!
