That's because it's constructed entirely differently. It helps to have also heard their s/t, and to read up on it some more. For an album like this, there is no shame in having people point out some good things about it. It took a while for me, but it is now one of my favorite albums as well.

Hmm... I have always been curious about this Bungle record. Should I buy it? I have listened to California (which is bloody good) and S/T, but never this one. It sounds really weird though.

This album is pure music genius!

I'm cautious about buying this. If I liked there self-titled would I most likely enjoy this?

This is fucked up.
I really liked Carry Stress in the Jaw, Desert Search, Ma Meeshka, and parts of Marry Go-bye bye but the rest didn't click first listen. But it was my first listen...so yeah.
I thought the first song was terrible.

It was the last Bungle album for me to get, and is still such a hard album to wrap my head around. While I do love it, I either have to be in the mood for it, or be in an altered state. Everything about this album is entirely thought-out and wild and very rewarding. How do they sing a stupid song about a guys mom is better than yours to a few tracks later and we hear the musical equivalance of a man going deep into the ocean only to drown? This shit is like listening to 8 Frank Zappa albums at once.

I agree. This isn't something that anyone (or most people) is just going to throw on for a car ride or something. It's definitely challenging.

Hmm, I don't find it challenging... just hard to listen to, haha (particularly the second half).

This is a classic as far as i'm concerned.

This is cool so far (about halfway through). I'm digging it more than the s/t so far, which I always had trouble getting into. I thought it had too much cock-metal, and so far this one has a lot of cool world musics and stuff mixed in, in much higher percentages than Faith-No-More-style annoying rock.
What the reviewer calls "Italian Street Music" sounds like Tango to me. Same rhythm and instrumentation you usually find in this fine Argentine music.

First of all I love this album and I think this a good review. I just wanted to point something out. You should realize that the term "death metal" refers to a very specific kind of metal with a particular type of riff structure and time signature. You shouldn't just label any music that sounds heavy as "death metal". There's a lot of ignorance out there and that sort of thing just contributes to it.
The opening and ending of Phlegmatics aren't even close to death metal. Platypus has some distorted chugging on a guitar for like 10 seconds, which doesn't constitute death metal. The parts you pointed out in Merry Go Bye Bye are death metal though.
Maybe it isn't even worth correcting, but I'm absolutely sick of ignorant kids trying to tell me that screamo and death metal are the same thing, or that black metal and death metal are the same thing. The next kid who tells me "this is real fucking death metal woooo" while listening to Five Finger Death Punch is getting karate chopped in the throat.
(End of rant)
