Mike Patton has been a favorite of mine for quite some time now and this debut album from Tomahawk was where I finally began to appreciate his genius!

Starting with the opener "Flashback" I was transported to a world where creativity is at the top and all of the band members chip in to make it so. "101 North" is where the album peaks for the first time with a very memorable riff and the different effects added into the mix are used flawlessly in order to convey the overall mood of the song. The rest of the album keeps a very similar level of quality without once losing touch. "Sweet Smell Of Success" might be considered a ballad of a sort, but even this track never gets a chance to settle down in complete mellowness. Appropriately enough, the album settles down towards the end of the album and we get some odd numbers like "Cul De Sac" and "Narcosis".

The self-titled debut album from Tomahawk is an excellent album that pretty much came out of the blue and kept me entertained for months after its initial release. Even to this day it manages to get a few spins whenever I decide to add it to my playlist. Highly recommended!

***** star songs: 101 North (5:13) God Hates A Coward (2:39) POP 1 (3:25) Sweet Smell Of Success (3:48) Cul De Sac (1:44)

**** star songs: Flashback (2:58) Point And Click (3:09) Sir Yes Sir (2:09) Jockstrap (3:51) Malocchio (2:42) Honeymoon (3:07) Laredo (4:16) Narcosis (2:39)
