Not many people can say they've fronted 3 of the best bands ever, Patton can.

Despite adoring this I can see why Doof sees this a soulless. The album's like a Chameleon, blending to one style to another and there's no real message or personal theme with the lyrics.

Yes Calculating, and Faith No More do have soul to them - that's the difference

Music really doesn't need a message all of the time, sometimes it's a nice break when a song is meaningless honestly

I agree with calc, can understand Doofus' reasoning.

If it isn't what you want from music then it isn't gonna float your boat. I just adore this because I think everything it does have to offer does it literally perfectly. Production, vocal tones, pacing...so much of what I enjoy in music is done here in glorious fashion.

Retrovertigo is about how companies advertise things...

@LP: Even so, that theme isn't given a personal touch or gives the album a cohesive manner. Minus Pink Cigarette the album's lyrics don't give certain songs a new meaning musically.

Vanity Fair's lyrics are pretty focused too actually.

I didn't 'get' this album at all. How many listens should it take to click? I love stuff like Dog Fashion Disco's Adultary album so I feel like I should dig this?

And really fun to sing along too Ars :] Also it took me around 4 listens for this to really hit me, so it takes a decent while.

Honestly it took 1 listen and I was hooked up. At the 2nd listen I was already on the 4.5 material

"My take is I'm not all that massive a fan of Patton and like him reigned in a bit. This all gets a bit souless clever clever genre hoppy and misses the whole dynamic of Faith No More teasing a mainstream audience."



this seems like a valid assessment of like Disco Volante maybe, but this album has always been very warm & soulful to me, really, even with the usual Bungle craziness & all that



favorite MB, & one of my favorite albums ever



and seriously, fuck all the people talking shit about FNM

I feel the exact opposite. For me, FNM always seemed a little... safe (with Angle Dust being the exception)



I love Disco Volante because it is so violent and abrupt. It's one of the few albums I've actually laughed during, not because it's bad but because I was so shocked by something. It's so hard to rank Bungle but if I did it would have to be S/T>Disco Volante> California. And that doesn't mean California is bad at all, I just find the previous two a little bit odder which is what I like from Bungle.
