Including four tracks which would later be re-recorded for their debut self-titled album - and an original song that never made the cut - Mr. Bungle showed us on OU818 that they were quite an intoxicating force even before they signed with Warner Bros. Mike Patton's vocals aren't quite always up to scratch in comparison to the band's later releases, though with the help of members such as Trevor Dunn and Theo Lengyel, it isn't a big problem at all. Why "Mr. Nice Guy" was never reworked for any of Mr. Bungle's other albums *does* baffle me...
