MR. BUNGLE

Talk about an excelent album. I stumbled on to Mr. Bungle on accident by reading a magazine that had an article about them. I thought it would be interesting because the caption under Mr. Bungle was "for aquired tastes only!" Since i had a somewhat of a backround of Avant Garde with Franck Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Henry Cow, i decided that i should check them out. The first song that is on the album is Quote Unquote, which upon listening made me frightened but wanted to hear MORE. As the tracks went by i passed Squeeze me Macaroni, Egg, Love is a fist, Dead goon (i´m skipping some essential tracks of course). at the end of the album i was amazed at the musicianship and creativity that was put out. It was indeed an aquired taste....and i found it! Not every one is going to like this album...let alone stand it. its very random, genre hoping, and sparatic. but thats what i love about it. For someone who has never heard of Mr. Bungle of any Avant Garde bands...start small and work your way up to Mr. Bungle. Its a hard tothing to jump right into them and like them immedietly. 4 stars. Excellent album.
