California > Angel Dust

Mr. Bungle > Faith No More



That's my opinion at least. But I would say this album is better than Bungle's other two.

Album Rating: 5.0

California > Angel Dust



^ See, the great thing about music is I think that is utterly, batshit, rockfuck insane, but hey it hits everyone differently

Out of curiosity and because I don't want to go through like 80 pages to see if you've already said it, what makes you enjoy this album so much more?



For me, California's blend of accessibility, experimentalism, relaxing yet still occasionally bombastic sound, and atmosphere to suit many more moods and be a generally more enjoyable listen. From the "objective" standpoint - if such a thing exists - I'm so impressed with how wacky and peculiar it manages to be without sounding particularly "weird" when listening to it. This album is still great - really great - but I think for me personally, it lacks the presence and the mystique that I always feel when I listen to California.

I dont know man this has riffs and hooks and some great melodic parts.



California just doesnt do any of that for me.

Album Rating: 4.0

If that's what attracts you to this album then I can 100% see why you'd prefer it.

I mean, check his Avy, Ending.

Yeah man I like all kinds of music but my top 3 criteria for great music is



1. Hard riffs of fist

2. Catchiness, not in the top 40 sense, just does it fucking grab you

3. Good sense of melody, which can cover alot of ground, but I know it when I hear it.

Gah, dead giveaway.

For examples on this



The melodic chorus of Kindergarden



The rad riff in the verses of Kindergarden



I could go on a long time but yeah this album rules

Album Rating: 4.0

You sound like you'd enjoy The Arusha Accord and The Absence (two different bands, sort of a technical-y hardcore and a melodeath band, respectively) then. Just two random completely unrelated recs to this album.



This album has some sweet riffs on it though. When I'm done listening to California I'm gonna spin it and probably will have it rated tomorrow man it's been forever since I jammed this in full.

Album Rating: 4.0

Maybe you wouldn't enjoy them actually but like hey new music to check out always kills so yeah.

Album Rating: 5.0

the only melodeath I really love is In Flames so if it jams like that Id like it

Album Rating: 5.0

a great example of what i look for in music is in In Flames - Goliaths Disarm Their Davids.



Has the hardest riff of truth that is at the same time insanely melodic. I mean thats top shelf shit for me.

Green, Mr. Bungle cannot possibly be overhyped.

FNM is like sliding into the hottest chick you can imagine while Bungle is like getting blown by an amateur who rakes her teeth across your shaft.



Probably the best way I can explain how much better FNM is than Bungle.
