I think Fantomas is pretty awful except for Director's Cut which is strangely brilliant. One of their albums is mostly ambient and the other two follow a ridiculous formula of "quiet part with weird studio effects, INSANE SCREAMING MATHY RIDICULOUS NOISE ROCK FOR THREE SECONDS quiet and slow ohhhing and ahhhing SCREAMING RIDIUCLOUS CRASH CRASH CRASH." etc. for 50 minutes at a time. It's like an early-Boredoms-meets-black-metal parody or something, and it's really fucking stupid. And what's hilarious is how many great parts and great riffs they come up with, only to do NOTHING with them. It's like "avant garde noise rock for the sake of being avant garde noise rock".
