not sure what ya mean

Coming from an Italian background, I grew up with some with some of the Mondo cane songs. Patton had mentioned in interviews that he had put his own spin on these covers to make them his own. However, after seeing the live versions, I'd say 90% of the time the covers were very close to the originals.

Yet, to me, the production Patton has put into it shows the music in a new and fresh light. He has made them his own in many ways an it is great to hear this music interpreted this way. It is still great Italian music - but my gosh it is miles ahead of almost all contemporary Italian pop music which is utter shite.

I'll be very interested to see how this release goes across in Italy.

I'm still pissed about no 'Storia d'amore' ... the chorus rules and that trumpet solo finale are the bee's knees.

I think my only complaint about the album is i wish it had more trumpet. Like in Il Cielo and senza fine i feel its missing that trumpet like the live versions had. but overally the album gets an A from me.

oh cool
i totally get you now
these are all new songs to me entirely... except deep down. got that soundtrack haha

now i'm also wondering how it will go over in Italy

I've been underwhelmed by much of Mikey's recent output, but this one has blown me away. Best thing he's done in years. Gets even better with repeated listens.

*bends over so you all can spank the shameless fanboi*

OK OK so the only one I didn't like was Crank.. We are tied at one disliked album... You're winning as soon as you succumb to the delights of Weird Little Boy

Mike Patton's Mondo Cane debuts at No. 2 on Billboard

Mike Patton's Mondo Cane is turning out to be an album of many firsts for the revered front man of influential bands such as Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom and Fantomas. Not only is the album Patton's first Italian language release as well as his first outing with a full orchestra, the album also finds him landing on Billboard's Classical Album chart for the first time.

Mondo Cane, which was released by Ipecac Recordings on May 4, entered the Billboard Classical Album chart at # 2, an unexpected twist on a chart that regularly features the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Il Divo. The eleven-song album was years in the making with Patton selecting pieces from the great Italian composers and pouring over every detail for this labor of love. As Patton described the process himself, his motivation was to showcase the music's persistent relevance through “modern and adventurous interpretation.”

Spin described the release as "a rich and heartfelt celebration of Italian pop music," The Onion said of the album, "flagrantly enjoyable from first gasp to final croon" and the BBC proclaimed Mondo Cane as “the most gonzo recording of Patton’s none-more-gonzo career."

Mondo Cane also debuted at #7 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart.
