Random Monday CD Review


Mr. Bungle

MrBungle-MrBungle.jpgI’ll admit it right now – I hated Faith No More.  Stupid band, stupid sound, and especially stupid vocalist.  Then singer Mike Patton went off on his own and formed this side project he called Mr. Bungle.  I knew he was behind it so I was leery of even giving them a shot.  But now, their debut CD is still one of my favorites.

The self-titled CD from 1991 is a freak show of heavy metal carnival music full of slap-bass, pornographic lyrics, and songs right from a horror movie.  In other words, pure bliss for a guy like me!

The first track is Travolta, a rip on poor John.  Granted, this was before he leapt back into stardom with Pulp Fiction.  But this song is a great look at what to expect from the rest of the CD.

Other favorite tracks of mine are:

  • Squeeze Me Macaroni, a very fast tune musically and lyrically.
  • Egg, a 10 minute plus trip fest with a great song buried in there somewhere.
  • Girls of Porn, seriously, a good tune!

I’ll bet you can find this CD in a bargain bin for $2.00 tops.  Trust me; it’s totally worth it for that price.

3.5 out of 5
