Free Music Notes for Mr. Bungle
Free Music Review: Mr. Bungle is LEGIT.
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember the first time I ever heard Mr. Bungle. I was hanging out in front of the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma California (they have probably played there more than any other venue) where some strange kind of circus-funk music was being blasted out of a car parked out front. It was so outrageous I could not help but take a special interest in it. I asked my friends who were not feeling it quite as much as I was if they knew what it was and they told me it was probably GWAR and not to pay any attention to it. I could not keep my attention off of it though. I dug deep into my bank of musical knowledge and figured out of any band it was probably Mr. Bungle. I had never actually heard Mr. Bungle but I knew of them from being a casual listener of Faith No More for a few years and recognized Mike Patton's voice. I had never given Mr. Bungle the time of day though. I always dismissed them as Mike Patton's other band with a weird name that I would probably never like. (...)
It was not until a few months later that I actually got around to buying the album though. I was in Amoeba in Berkeley and could not think of what to buy. I thought long and hard about what would be funky enough for my tastes and remembered the fateful day out in front of the Phoenix and picked the album up for $8. Eight dollars well spent. I was quite confused the first time I heard it though. The only thing I was concerned about was hearing the one song that said 666 and talked about masturbating. This song turned out to be "The Girls of Porn" which I took a liking to for being outrageously funky. A few more listens revealed the true genius of the album's entirety though. I soon became addicted to the album and was could not stop talking about how prowd I was to finally be a fan of Mr. Bungle. It is the kind of music that takes such deep thought to truely understand even though the subject matter shouldn't appeal to any one older than 10. The album is so raw at times, so funky in others, and at other times a little too strange to be true. I nearly lose my mind every time I hear the funky breakdowns in "Dead Goon" and I can not think of a better song to mosh your ass off to than "Quote Unquote". "My Ass is On Fire" blows my mind more than anything else on the album. It's like Primus from hell if that makes any sense. Bottom line is these guys are legit and they rock my world. The production alone is reason enough to buy this album. They may be weird and unaccessable but goddamn these guys are legit.
One last thing. If you have reviewed this album or any of the other fine Mr. Bungle recordings and gave it one star for being too out there, you should not have ever listened to this band to begin with. This band does not exist to be heard on the radio or seen on TV. Ive said it before and I will say it again, this band is legit, they are for real, they are not trying to appeal to anybody. So if you're the kind of person that does not want to put anything into your music and just wants the artist to give you what you want, Mr. Bungle is not for you. (...)

i listened to this album saying to my self waht the f*ck? i liked it but in a wierd way. i love faith no mroe so i ahd to listen to this and im glad i did. this is not normal music at all!there is actualy a perfect comparison for this band. compare faith no more to primus. primus' lead singer les claypool started a side band called c2b3 (colonol claypools bucket of bernie brains)which is a hippie pshychidelic rock band for pot heads. same as this. faith no mores lead singer mike patton created this band. which is also a hippie rock band but even crazier.

Hit: 3 Stars
This is for people who like music that could be called bizarre depending on who you are. Don't get me wrong by the rating, I really like a lot of Mike Patton's music and think this album is extremely enjoyable but only when the right mood strikes. If this was an album to be highly enjoyed equally at any time it would for sure get 5 stars from me. But I only love the shit out of it if I am feeling funky which happens to be quite often but whatever. This is one of the most eclectic and diverse albums possibly ever and is only for strange little minds like myself and quite a few others. There is an extremely high chance that any random person will hate it so only listen if you are totally willing to try something different. Anyway, it's odd and it's wild and it's fun and it's grand. Bye now.
