This Kanye West - Queens of the Stone Age mash-up album actually kind of works

Most budding producers limit their mash-ups to one song.

For instance there’s the surprisingly cohesive “Psychosocial Baby” (Slipknot x Justin Bieber), the pumping “Stayin’ Alive” - “Hot In Here” crossover (The Bee Gees x Nelly) and the incredibly haunting collision of the Twin Peaks theme and Britney’s “Everytime”.

French producer ToTom went the whole hog though, making an entire album of Kanye West/Queens of the Stone Age hybrids.

Most of the tracks work really well, sound a little like N.E.R.D, a little like what Yeezus would have sounded like if all the synth parts had been played on guitars with heavy distortion.

“Jesus Walks with the Flow” is a highlight, along with “Get the Millionaires High”, though the stand-out is definitely “Make It Wit Barry Bonds”, a damn fine song in its own right.

My only regret is that ToTom didn’t include a little of Josh Homme’s vocals or a little of Kanye’s production, but still - a solid effort.
