This is the album that set me off. Released in 1991 by Warner Brothers, mostly due to Mike Pattons day job. They unleashed one of the most schizophrenic albums in the alternative rock climate. Mr Bungle took every single style of music they could think of and constructed one of the most musically dazzling, and head fucking bizarre albums I had ever heard. I loved Faith No More, but Bungle took that a step beyond. Every note is so perfect and needed. The instrumentation is beyond approach. I spent a long time learning all the basslines to this album until I got to the stage where I could enarly play along to it track by track. Sadly that talent is no longer with me. its gone downhill since then.
Bungle wore costumes and odd masks long before Slipknot and those chumps. Mr Bungle had John Zorn produce the album..case closed.
Well here is the self-titled debut by this amazing band. Influential without a doubt, especially to me.
Mr Bungle
Get involved. Let Bungle into your life.
