Mr. Bungle

[TheMisterBungle]

I thought that this place needed a thread about Mr. Bungle.

What do you guys think is their best album/demo?

[JonM]

The song "Goodbye Sober Day," which is the last track on California fulfills one of my deepest musical fantasies: a Kecak solo.

[TheMisterBungle]

Goodbye Sober Day has just about everything imaginable on it.

[CaptainWaits]

I've got their 3 main albums, and I think it'd be great to get their demos one day. I love Bungle, my favorite album being a close tie between "Disco Colante" and "California". "California's" probably my favorite as a whole, but "Disco Volante" just has some of the best songs on it.

[DanD]

S/T has its moments and can be good to listen to when in the right mood

Disco Volante is one of the worst albums i've ever heard

California is epic

from what i've heard of their earlier demo's is crap so i've never had any interest in hearing them in full

[Zappa]

California is amazing, and their first two albums are crap.

[beso negro]

I very much enjoy California and Self-Titled.

[CaptainWaits]

You guys don't like "Disco-Volante"?? :eek:

How come??

[DanD]

i don't think that i enjoyed a single minute of Disco Volante... its not even music

its like bands like Sunn0))), i just don't get how that is entertaining

[munky_magik]

California is awesome, one of my favourite albums.
S/T is really good, has some great tracks.
And Disco Volante has its moments, though I still haven't really listened to it in-depth yet.

I love the bass in Mr Bungle.

[TheMisterBungle]

Yes Trevor is an amazing bassist.
Disco Volante is my favorite record from them.

[CaptainWaits]

I have a question about Secret Chiefs 3...

Which of their albums would be considered their best?? Because I'm thinking of ordering an album of theirs off of Amazon...

[halfdeadhippo]

Of the two or three that I've heard in my time, the only one that stood out as being especially sweet to me was The Book of Horizons. However, I haven't heard all their stuff (obviously) and so maybe you should just use my recommendation in accordance with those of others.

[CaptainWaits]

Well, The Book of Horizions was the one I was thinking of getting, just due to there being that review of it. I'll look further into some reviews, but thanks for that anyways ;)

[DanD]

Book of Horizons for sure

[TheMisterBungle]

I really need some of their stuff.
I need some of Trevor Dunn's stuff too.
He probably has more stuff than Patton.

[DanD]

from what i've heard from Trevor Dunn's solo stuff is crap

although it's similar to Disco Volante, which i also think is crap

[Aus Rotten]

Is the whole persona of Mr. Bungle to write like crazy-mixed-jam-session-ish music, with 'funny' lyrics like 'squeeze my macaroni' ?

[halfdeadhippo]

I really need some of their stuff.
I need some of Trevor Dunn's stuff too.
He probably has more stuff than Patton.You should check out anything by Electric Masada, especially their contribution to Zorn's 50th Birthday Celebration (volume 4). It's got Dunn on bass, and enough other quality musicians that will make up for any disappointment you may feel regarding Dunn's role.

Is the whole persona of Mr. Bungle to write like crazy-mixed-jam-session-ish music, with 'funny' lyrics like 'squeeze my macaroni' ?No. All their albums have a different "persona," so to speak. You need to hear California. It's like crazy pop music that jumps around different styles while still sounding solid. My words can't do it justice, though.

[Faggor]

Is the whole persona of Mr. Bungle to write like crazy-mixed-jam-session-ish music, with 'funny' lyrics like 'squeeze my macaroni' ?

no, it just happens to turn out that way

[Rams]

I don't get them. In fact, I think California is pretty much crap.

[TheMisterBungle]

I think it takes a while to understand them. California took me the longest to like. Even longer than Disco Volante.

[CaptainWaits]

For me the S/T took the longest to like :eek:

[TheMisterBungle]

That one hit me pretty much right away. It still took me a considerably long amount of time, but I had heard the most material off of it before I purchased it.

The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny is my personal favorite release by them at the moment. Has anyone else heard anything off of it?

[CaptainWaits]

Is that one of their early demo's or something??

[TheMisterBungle]

Yeah it's there first one. It's grindcore pretty much, but has some weird influences in it.
http://www.bunglefever.com/
you can get it there.

[DanD]

i liked S/T the first time i heard it, since then its lost its charm

i've always hated Disco Volante

the first time i heard California i thought it was boring... it wasn't until months later that i realized how good it was

[niobium]

For all those guys who HATE Disco Volante: What songs did you listen to?

Bad songs on Disco Volante:
Everyone I Went to High School With is Dead
The Bends (idk)

That's it. The rest is ****ing genious.

[TheMisterBungle]

I love everything on that album.
Why don't you like Everyone I Went to High School With is Dead?

[niobium]

Dumb, plodding noise.

[TheMisterBungle]

I guess I can see where your coming from.

[halfdeadhippo]

I don't think it's really so much that I dislike Disco Volante, but more that I just have to be in a very specific mood to appreciate it, a mood that I'm not in very often, whereas I can appreciate the other two in just about any mood.

[TheMisterBungle]

For me I can listen to s/t and Disco anytime. It's California I have to be in a certain mood for more than the others.

[CaptainWaits]

Yeh. "Carry Stress In the Jaw" and "Desert Search for Techno Allah" are my two favorite Mr. Bungle songs. And like I mentioned earlier, Disco Volante is still my favorite Bungle album.

I do agree with HDH as well however. I feel I do need to be in a certian mood to appreciate it, but none the less it's still my favorite, even if I can't listen to it as much as the other two.

[niobium]

If I had to be in a certain mood to appreciate any of them, it'd be Mr. Bungle. It might be because of Patton's nasally vocals, but I think it's how every song has a minute of silence at the end or something.

[halfdeadhippo]

If I had to be in a certain mood to appreciate any of them, it'd be Mr. Bungle. It might be because of Patton's nasally vocals, but I think it's how every song has a minute of silence at the end or something.Yeah, it's not so much silence as just random samples and ambient noise, and that sort of bugs me, too. Especially that one sample of somebody taking a **** or whatever.

The Bends is the best track on the album. It goes through so many cool phases, I like the whole concept around the song and it plays out nicely also. Disco Volante is pretty weak as a whole, I don't care for the production.

[CaptainWaits]

Yeah, it's not so much silence as just random samples and ambient noise, and that sort of bugs me, too. Especially that one sample of somebody taking a **** or whatever.
Heh, yeh. Some of the stuff on that album disturbs me I guess.

And I agree. The songs (when there's music) are great, but when there's almost just silence/random noises, it gets annoying.

[Meatplow]

I went through a period where i listened to nothing but Faith No More, then i moved on to Mr Bungle for quite a while. I've been a massive fan of just about everything i've heard from Mike Patton since.

It's kind of funny, i've lost my appreciation for some of his stuff over time, including Bungle. I'm bored with genre mashing now, when once it was so exciting.

California is probably my favourite album, i like Disco Volante but i prefer less chaotic structure. Girls of Porn is my absolute favourite song of all time i always put it on at parties.

[CaptainWaits]

“Girls of animal photographs” = “Girls of porn" I take it?? I think you got switched by the censors :lol:

[thetwaz]

I found California the easiest going out of all of them, and 'The Air Conditioned Nightmare' still kicks. I don't know if I'm hardcore enough to like Disco Volante yet, its been sitting on my shelf for a while now...

[Meatplow]

That's a really funny album that has changed a lot over time for me.

I've always hated Phlegmatics to a degree though i still listen to it, i think theres nothing really going on there it's kind of bland. Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead i used to think was the worst song i'd ever heard, but after i read the lyrics it seemed to tie together somehow. It's got a very doomlike feel to it i dig, and i like it now. Platypus was a bit of a mystery for a while i listened to it through headphones a couple times and it started fitting together. I think Merry Go Bye Bye and The Bends are pretty weak as well they just seem like random noise.

The best songs on there to me are Chemical Marraige, Carry Stress in The Jaw, The Desert Search for Techno Allah and Violenza Domestica which is perhaps my favourite on there. Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz is fun too.

[TheMisterBungle]

Yeah, I still don't like some songs on Disco, like Phelgmatics and Violenza Domestica.
I haven't listened to those two tracks a lot though.

[niobium]

Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz is fun too.Platypus is such an underrated song. It's one of my favorites, it's so stream of conscious. Merry Go Bye-Bye is one song that seems totally random, but I get it. I haven't heard it in a long time. I love the fat production on the drums at the 1:51 mark. Chemical Marriage is nice and relaxing, reminds me of the Kaada/Patton album. Violenza Domestica is so Fantomas...

lol my myspace's tag is "stressjaw"

I'll give the first track another listen while paying attention to the lyrics. The only Bungle songs I've ever noticed the lyrics in is "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare", "Goodbye Sober Day", and "Retrovertigo".

[TheMisterBungle]

I've started listening to California a ton lately.

[CaptainWaits]

Their S/T has been taking quite a few spins in my CD player recently. The Girls of Pron has really grown on me, it could be my favorite on the CD.

[halfdeadhippo]

I think that tomorrow I'm going to listen to Disco Volante again. My feelings toward it seem sort of meh at the moment, but I would be willing to bet that it's just because I haven't listened to it in a while. This post doesn't really mean anything except to predict that I'm going to be in here tomorrow obsessing over DV.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It's a very violent listen...I've only listened to it like three times in the several months I've had it. I'd love to get into DV, but I'm never motivated enough to give it the intense attention I know it would require to enjoy.

[Meatplow]

yep one of my friends described it as pure punishment to listen to every day

he's the one that lent it to me though :(

[halfdeadhippo]

Possibly the greatest thing about this album is the sneak attack recording style, with everybody hiding the bonus track following "Carry Stress..." from Trevor Dunn. Then when he found out, he went and recorded his own vocals on top of it, and none of the other guys knew about it until the disc was released.

[Aeaon]

One hell of a great band.


I was pretty devastated when i found out that they were never reuniting. What a shame.

[CaptainWaits]

The reason why DV is my favorite is because it's a challenge to listen to :).

"I know the secret song now"

I love that bit. Grandpa Simpson ahoy.

[TheMisterBungle]

"They kicked me out of the band!!!"
Haha, that song is classic.

[Meatplow]

The Edgar Allan Poe poem in the middle is really bizarre though.

[Zappa]

Disco Volante was a challenge when I was 14. Now it's just no fun to listen to.

[Aeaon]

Did anybody ever see trevor dunn when he was touring with shelly burgon (i think that's her name)?


He played in my town about a couple years ago and it was an incredible performance. Sure, it wasn't trio convulsant, but it was still worth it?

[niobium]

I love "Platypus". Most underrated Bungle song ever.

[obstreperousartist]

platypus is a great song, but I like "Carry Stress in the Jaw" and "Merry Go Bye Bye" the best... but I can't really single out any, all of bungle rocks!!

[Neoteric]

I have California and it's just really gave me much enjoyment yet. I hope to really like it though I'm not sure.

The self-titled was a really good album I thought.

[TheMisterBungle]

I love "Platypus". Most underrated Bungle song ever.

Yes.

[NuclearRabbit]

Mr. Bungle is brilliant. They are one of the few bands, from which I like each song (atleast on the albums I've listened to).

Mr. Bungle is difficult to get into and enjoy, but when you've finally have gotten into them, it is really rewarding.

[munky_magik]

I found California really easy to get into. The S/T was mostly alright as well.

[NuclearRabbit]

I found California really easy to get into. The S/T was mostly alright as well.

Oh yeah, my bad. I meant their other stuff, mostly.

[obstreperousartist]

Oh man... I just bough all four Bungle Demos (The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny, Bowel of Chiley, Goddammit I Love America, and OU818) off of ebay! I'll definitely tell you guys how they are (those of you who may not have heard them before) when they come in.

How many of you guys have heard these demos and/or own any of them?

[Zebra]

I just listened to their s/t today.

It's got some great moments like Squeeze Me Macoroni and Stubb A Dub but sometimes things get out of hand (wtf is up with that guy taking a **** inbetween the 2nd and 3rd track?)

[niobium]

Don't pay attn to the sampled bits after the songs :( Easily the worst parts of the album.

[obstreperousartist]

You're joking, right niobium? Those bits are among the funniest on the entire record!

[CaptainWaits]

Yeh, but I'd rather listen to some good Bungle music, rather than hear a guy talking a dump :eek:

[TheMisterBungle]

Yeah, the samples definitely make the album a lot worse. I always just fast forward through them.

[Meatplow]

I love the samples! I don't know if this is because i can source them.

Squeeze Me Macaroni has a sample from the film Blue Velvet, which i love. And Girls of Porn samples Super Smash TV (i'll buy that for a dollar).

Mr Bungle is a crazy band, Mike Patton draws on a lot of cultural references. I think they complement the songs greatly.

[niobium]

For me they bog down the actual music. It would be better if they would have kept the sampled bits as little vignettes, like what Tool did for Aenima, or Mudvayne for LD50.

[DanD]

at least they're usually at the end of the song so you can just skip them

[obstreperousartist]

I hate skipping those parts. They're so great and creative and you totally do not expect them. Every time I laugh so hard (especially with the crapping section) "Most folks... mo.. most folk... mo' mo' most folks like to..." etc. so on and so forth.

[NuclearRabbit]

Yeah, it's also what makes them special. It doesn't ruin a song, in my opinion.

[Jaded]

Eh. Not a fan.

[NuclearRabbit]

Eh. Not a fan.

Oh, how contributing!

[Kulver]

Don't pay attn to the sampled bits after the songs :( Easily the worst parts of the album.

Oh tell me about it, those samples are so useless. I don't mind the ones during songs but the ones after & before totally take away from the album. Otherwise, it's a perfect album & actually my favorite album ever.

It introduced me to weirder music so it holds a special place in my heart. :)

[Meatplow]

I reckon it adds up to the general craziness, it wouldn't do without for me now.

I have to give this guys a listen, i haven't touched anything of Patton's for a long time.

[Cocaine]

I wish people would give Dunn/Spruance more credit. They wrote a lot of Bungle's material.

Anyways, I've been on an insane Bungle kick this week. My last.fm will undoubtedly reflect this.

[DanD]

i love Trevor Dunn's bass playing, but i think that he is a bad song writer

[Cocaine]

i love Trevor Dunn's bass playing, but i think that he is a bad song writer

Retrovertigo much?

[DanD]

admittedly a great song, but have you heard any of his solo stuff? its unlistenable

[Cocaine]

The Trio? I found the worst part was that chick guitarist that made stupid noises the entire time. I doubt he wrote her guitar parts.

[DanD]

i'm talking about the songs in general, i don't think that i could even finish the whole album before i had to delete it

[Cocaine]

I've only heard a few songs so I can't really comment. On the topic of songwriting, though, I love the nice touch in the Disco Volante booklet.

Nothing - Words: Lengyel; Music: Heifetz

Okay so it mostly caused Theo Lengyel to leave but I didnt miss him on California.

[Kulver]

I agree with you about Spruance & Dunn not getting enough credit.

You hear all the Patton fanboys going "Patton is a genius", but, it was actually Spruance & Dunn that wrote the majority of Bungle songs.

And you can really hear Spruance's skill on their early death metal tapes. :)

[Cocaine]

I always found Spruance to be an average guitarist at best.

[niobium]

Spruance is an excellent composer on Secret Chiefs 3 (Book M ftw), but I think he had a lot of help too, like from Eyvind Kang.

[CaptainWaits]

Is Book M better than Book of Horizons??

[NuclearRabbit]

Is Book M better than Book of Horizons??

It's not as diverse as Book of Horizons, and I like it more. It's just incredible, no skipping tracks (there's one or two on Horizons) but not on Book M.

[Dark Artist]

I've only heard one song of theirs - My *** Is On Fire - and I think it's fantastic. I must hear more of their stuff.

[niobium]

That was off the self-titled album, the whole album is good and demented circusy stuff. 2nd album is experimental, as is the 3rd one but the last one has a surf/more linear appeal to it.

[Meatplow]

The only way to approach really is to dive in and be patient i find.

[Romanticide]

I've only heard Girls of Porn and Pink Cigarette and those two songs are like
too different for me to judge.


Mr. Bungle =\

[Cocaine]

That's because every album is different, as Niobum said. Pink Cigarette, a personal favourite, is off California, whereas Girls of Pr0n is off their self-titled album.

[NuclearRabbit]

No, it's because each song is different.

[Cocaine]

No, it's because each album is different. Every album has it's own definitive style. Mr. Bungle has the whole demented carnival theme, Disco Volante is a complete avant-freak out expirimental thingy, and California is a sort of chamber-pop surf rock pop album doohickey.

Saying each song is different is giving the band far too much credit, or not enough, depending on how you look at it.

[obstreperousartist]

I've only heard Girls of animal photographs and Pink Cigarette and those two songs are like
too different for me to judge.


Mr. Bungle =\

man, if girls of porn was the first song i heard from bungle, I'd fall in love with them. I went over to my friend's house after hearing it for the first time so i could learn the bass part. It's a killer part!! (i know, it's reprehensible for a guitarist to do such a thing!! hahahah)

[niobium]

ma meeshka mow skowz was my first

thx last.fm radio :D

california was my first album though. i strangely didn't love it until after disco volante. i almost didn't get into self titled, but then i just decided to try it out and discovered that i liked it as well.

[Cocaine]

Disco Volante was my first, so after that the other two sounded completely normal (in a good way) by comparison.

[obstreperousartist]

Man, i remember my first go at disco volante. I nearly crapped myself when i heard "carry stress in the jaw" for the first time.

[Meatplow]

i was playing heroes of might and magic 3 when i first listened to it on headphones, it made an eerily fitting soundtrack that should not of worked but did.

[mmmPousto]

well, this is quite a long thread to jump into on .... I just got Peeping Tom yesterday. I'm really surprised that I didn't see it mentioned here yet (although I did skip over page 3 I think). I really like it. Really creative and sonically interesting. There's a few moments that remind me of Bungle and a few that sound like they coulda been off of FNM's "Album of the Year". When I saw that Norah Jones was on it I was really skeptical, but the track she's on ('sucker' I think) is probably my favorite on there. It's the first album I've bought in a long time where I just want to listen to it over and over again.

My favorite is Disco Volante, followed by California. I cut my teeth on the S/T album, but by now I've pretty much played it out.

About a year or so ago I edited a lot of their songs to be more 'iPod Friendly' (IOW, cutting off the minute of silence from the beginning of 'Travolta' and seperating 'Spy' (the secret track off of DV ... it seems to be called that) into it's own track ... you get the point). I also DL'd a few live shows from bunglefever.com and remastered them. The show from minneapolis (feb '00 I think) is absolutely amazing ... awesome version of 'my *** is on fire' .... a video of that performance is on Youtube.

Yeah California rules... a lot.

[badtaste]

Got my hands on California, cool stuff. Was expecting more metal tbh... but yeh, totally jizzed myself during that metal bit in 'Goodbye Sober Day'.

Been listening to 'Pink Cigarette' every second or third minute. Jizztastic. Haven't really concentrated on it, will be grinding it out in the next coming days.

[Meatplow]

Pink Cigarette is excellent. Here's a flash animation I made learning the program ages ago using a section of The Air-Conditioned Nightmare - http://haz567.deviantart.com/art/Mario-Mushy-38206811

Though a longtime fan I only just listened to the s/t in full the other day. It had several of my favourite songs on there already (Girls of Porn, Quote Unquote/Travolta, Squeeze Me Macaroni) so I was destined to like it. I love the absurdity of this band.

I'm impressed they retained a faithful sound from the album, considering the complexities of production there it must of been some work setting it up to sound that good on a live stage.

Yeah, it's pretty neat the setup that Patton had around him.

[Tyr]

How come I've missed this thread?

My favourite is probably California, but the other two albums have some really good songs, as well. The demos, on the other hand, I could have managed without. The only one I don't have is OU818, it would be nice to have that and complete my Bungle collection, even though I don't think it wil be close to being as good as the albums.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I have their 3 main albums. Starting with my fave, it's disco, s/t, and california.


Basically, i like every song on disco, but i'm especially into Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz and Carry Stress in the Jaw.

...and does anyone have any more information about The Bends? It doesn't really sound like an actual complete song, sorta sounds like a compilation of clips from unfinished songs or something.

[badtaste]

Nothing owns more than the Bizarre Festival from 2000

Been watching clips of that on youtube, so awesome.

Cool. That reminds me, I read on wiki that Heifetz and McKinnon both reside in Australia now. Would be cool to come across them.
