What's your favourite Fantomas album?
I've only heard Delirium Cordia (which i really like) and am thinking of picking up some of their stuff, and am going to pick up in the order of what you guys think is the best.

I'm not a huge Fantomas fan...
BTW I like "Delirium Cordia" the most.

Director's Cut is the most user-friendly album. The best one, though, in my opinion is Suspended Animation.
None of their albums are like Delirium Cordia, by the way. So I hope you weren't under the impression that they were!
The s/t and Suspended Animation are seperated into 30 tracks, each many of which are only a minute or two in length - or less. They're very similar albums, except that Suspended Animation has a children's theme to it. By that I mean Patton screws around with lots of rubber ducks and whatnot on that album, whereas on the s/t there is none of that so its a little less varied.
Director's Cut is a cover album. It is basically a bunch of classic horror movie theme songs, done Fantomas style.
EDIT: I would buy Suspended Animation first, followed by Director's Cut, and then Fantomas.

SJ - Suspended Animation, a great album.
As far as after Delirium Cordia, which I find to be a brilliant album (but MUCH different than the rest of their stuff), I'd have to say my overall favorite is their first one followed closely by Suspended Animation, and then with Director's Cut not far behind. There's also the Fantomas-Melvins big band live CD, which is amazing as well, but it is a mix of Melvins and Fantomas songs.

I believe Delirium Cordia to be the best BY FAR. Could be the best thing Patton has done since Disco Volante.

I've only heard Suspended Animation decently. I really like it, too.

Off topic, but just got an album by Messer Chups called Crazy Price. It's on Mike Patton's Ipecac label and it's top!
If you like Fantomas you'll almost certainly appreciate it. Sounds like the theme from Pulp Fiction - Misirlou - Mr Bungle style. Very cool

No. They're my favorite band right behind the almighty Mr. Bungle.
