Anyone else a fan of the Patton-led genre-blenders? This topic is mainly for discussion of the band. What's your favorite Mr. Bungle album? How did you view their evolution and innovative style?
I loved all three albums, but my favorite was definately the S/T debut. It was an incredibly innovative album at the time. It's their funkiest, most energetic and consistent. Disco Volante was amazing, but I thought the over-experimental nature of the album led to some boring moments (The Bends in particular), as well as some that didn't gell. California was a suitable final album, but was a bit too light-hearted and relaxing to be of quite the same caliber of their S/T. So there you have my opinion; all three albums are amazing, but the S/T is easily my personal favorite. What do you think?
