Fantômas (aka Amenaza al Mundo) (1999) The Director's Cut (2001)

Fantômas is the debut album by Mike Patton's supergroup by the same name, and the first album released on Ipecac Recordings. The cover depicts the Spanish poster for the 1965 French movie Fantômas se déchaîne, translated in Spanish as Fantômas amenaza al mundo (Fantômas threatens the world). Because of this, some people refer to this album as Amenaza al Mundo, it is however officially self-titled.

[edit] Goofs

Inside in the In-Lay cover of the CD, the Tracklisting can be found. Page 13 is not listed. Possibly insinuating it's a 'Bonus Track', or that it simply doesn't need to be there, as it is only 3 seconds long. Common Sense^[who?] has concluded that the title of this gap between Page 12 and 14 is, Page 13.^{[citation needed]} Another theory is that because 13 is an unlucky number, it was left out of the track listing, and was replaced with only silence to take the place between Page 12 and 14, much like if the CD was an actual book, the track numbering would not correspond with the page number had 13 been taken out completely.^{[citation needed]}
