Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle (1991)

Another Mike Patton fronted bands that are weird as hell in his first band Mr. Bungle. Man he's had a lot of success with not just Faith no More but, Tomahawk, Lovage, Fantomas and Peeping Tom. I think Mr. Bungle is most famous for mocking the Red Hot Chili Peppers than anything else they've ever done. Mr. Bungle is very up and down moody. Some people don't like Mr. Bungle but, I'm willing to assure to you that they don't get Mr. Bungle either. They're over the top and weren't meant to have any top ten singles it's just a bunch of guys from Eureka who probably had nothing better to do such as make ridiculous music as I can relate as I was raised up in Mendocino County. They could sound like jazz and then sound like a circus act it's pretty weird stuff. This is a very good experimental album probably one of the better I own at the moment. I can say if you've never heard them you'll either think it's genius or you'll think it's the worst music you've ever heard. Songs to check out "Squeeze Me Macaroni", "Carousel" and "The Girls of Porn".
