what does /mu/ think of Mr.Bungle?
idk why don't you ask him
S/T is good but can be a little too silly for me, Disco Volante has a few great tracks but a lot of mediocre ones, and California is amazing
great band, rather innovative but moreso ambitious and talented

there's lots of silly weirdness for the sake of it, but there's plenty of fun to be had. Best in small doses.
Here's the thing about Mike. The man has some serious pipes. He has a six octave range and excels in any octave. He writes brilliant songs. And his stage presence is only matched by Adolf Hitler.
Seriously, Watch Mr. Bungle play Pink Cigarette at Bizarre Festival and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We better thank our lucky stars Mike didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world.
But Mr. Bungle as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Mike Patton backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Bungle what it is. Yes Mike wrote Girls of Porn, Sweet Charity and The Air conditioned Nightmare.
But Trevor Dunn wrote Retrovertigo, The holy Filament and Phlegmatics. Trey Spruance wrote Desert Search for Techno Allah, None of them know they were robots, Golem II the bionic vapour boy.
Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Mr. Bungle was the perfect storm of legendary talent, and Mike was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.
He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of the combo that was Mr. Bungle to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Trevor, Trey, Heifietz and Mckinnon and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes.
Yes, he is the most incredible front man who has ever lived, hands down.

Agree aside from Disco Volante having a lot of shit tracks
Also, OU818 has better versions of tracks that ended up on the self titled IMO
Basically OP, they're great and they meme hard

Oh is this a copypasta now?
california is great
SC3 on whole is better
OU818 is pretty good overall but falls flat in some areas in terms of production but at the same time the production of it is a good characteristic of the album
S/T has great transitions between genres within the same songs, interesting samples, better production on OU818 songs and some excellent instrumentation heard in Trevor Dunn's bass and Trey Spruance's guitar. The lyricism is downright juvenile in some parts but leagues more interesting than any other pop/pop-punk/mainstream metal that was influenced by Bungle.
Disco Volante is where things get to be a little all over the place in terms of experimentation. It's not my favorite but I enjoy listening to a majority of the songs on it but one criticism I have of it is Patton's vocals aren't as loud as they could be on a few songs.
California? It's the tits. Tons of different sounds on one album and some of Patton's best work imo.
