It sure is. : )

[@Schism06]

Absolute unit of a record.

[@andrewbenbow9257]

Not a masterpiece, but musical surrealism at it's best. Sorry edit, it amazing but it is trying to sidestep musical brilliance with irreverent changes of style. I fucking love this album.

That album was entirely recorded on old school analog tape machines. There is no digital editing on it. They had the same limitations as Brian Wilson had in the day. It’s called California because it’s their take on the California Sound

[@lt7601]

Great info👍

[@nicolaspigrais482]

Wasn't it meant to be called "Californication", but RHCP stole that title?

[@endocann]

@@nicolaspigrais482 I believe so 😂

[@RustinChole]

They actually connected THREE 24 track mixing boards to pull it off. In 1999. The panning had to be decided at the time of recording too. Wrap your brain around that.

[@kultur-vultur]

@@nicolaspigrais482 No, I think it was just slated to be released the same week and Warner pushed it back to avoid confusion with their more flagship band RHCP. Mr. Bungle California would be listed right before RHCP Calofornication. This only fueled the Patton/Keidis dispute, with Bungle getting kicked off shows and then dressing up like them for Halloween.

California is straight up one of the best albums ever made in my opinion. You could do any other song off this album. Its all quality, man. Its so weird, but not just for weirdness sake. Its very well put together and produced.

[@jacobmarsh4829]

@@timothymcnaughton531 for sure, and all the little flourishes and weirdo Patton stuff going on in the background just culminates into a one of a kind listen. I'd love it if Geebz did Goodbye Sober Day. What a way to end an album.

[@MisterBokks]

The last song on this album, Goodbye Sober Day. Amazing, quintessential, genre bending Bungle, plus there's a fan made music video for it.

[@splatterbabble]

This is an amazing suggestion.

[@bananasamurai]

^^ Agreed! ^^ Goodbye Sober Day is perhaps one of my fav. Bungle tracks of all time!

[@thanatoastiii6341]

I lost my sanity listening to "Goodbye Sober Day" years ago and I'm not complaining. Musical madness at its best👍

[@vegadeth]

Goodbye Sober Day is my favorite song of theirs. My (now ex) wife and I were obsessed with California and happened to be in Vegas one weekend. One of the nights she decides to stay in the hotel while I went out with our friends. I come back and she's freaking out about how she saw this show and on it was this Balinese chant (the Kechak) and that was the "Chack, Chack, Chack" part of Goodbye Sober Day. After that weekend we were home and another friend invites us to go to Bali with him and his wife. Several months later we got to see the Kachak in person in Bali. These experiences on top of seeing Mr Bungle in concert many times are some of the best times of my life

[@pippinpickering8307]

The fan made video for Pink Cigarette kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqi6goydbMaGa9E is another gem for another amazing song.

[@Rench221]

Someone once described this album as Beach Boys meet Frank Zappa which i still think is the best description!

[@thejman36]

I don't get much Zappa vibes from it really. It's truly it's own thing, it's so hard to find any music that even comes close to being similar to this album.

[@WeerdMunkee]

Most of the back up band used sheet music, save the actual members of Bungle.

[@glennszymanski4984]

I think I saw them 6 times on the California tour. The most times I've ever traveled or seen a band on 1 tour.

[@coolhandchunk]

Patton has been in so many creative, off the wall and genius acts. Tomahawk, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas...and so many more. He was also part of The Dillinger Escape Plan for a minute...speaking of which, you NEED to react to Dillinger!

[@MrNbvasquez]

Plus is classical and opera work. His range is about 5 octaves wider than 99% of people, and he can hit every note with scalpel like precision. He is truly an amazing musical minded man

[@Obsequie]

As much as I live Patton, I always though he took DEP down, not up.

[@callmewaves1160]

He has done stuff with Björk

[@undeadmatador]

Mr bungles "Carry Stress In The Jaw" would be killer to critique.

[@KrisYunker]

Agreed! Wrote the same thing!

[@4two7kevin11]

Mike Patton is a legend, he has great vocal range and has his hand in many styles. You for sure gotta listen to Faith No More

[@liamace1107]

This album is pure perfection, every song is a masterpiece. I honestly just recommend doing yourself a favour and listening to the whole thing in your own time

[@pieflies]

I think you would get a kick out of the The Directors Cut album by Fantomas, which is partially made up of members of Mr. Bungle, doing abstract covers of movie themes.

[@a2g2u2s.t.d]

definitely director's cut!

[@mikesbadopinions9671]

You get the Melvins Slayer and Patton. What else could you want in a psycho horror movie theme song cover album.

[@chriscase6929]

It's definitely the most accessible Fantomas album. The Mancini covers in particular are fantastic.

[@jarrodprocell6421]

"twin peaks: fire walk with me"

[@qwijbo]

There is a band created by the guitarist of Mr Bungle called Secret Chiefs 3, I would definitely check them out if you like Mr Bungle's style of genre mixing, with a lot of eastern style influence particularly on their first few albums. A track like Vajra is a good place to start

[@engelbertus1406]

When Mr Bungle wrote this album they wanted to capture the spirit and soul of California in each song hence the album’s title. They all grew up and live in California so this album is kinda like their love letter to the area. It’s a great listen from start to finish. 👍🏽

you should look up the production/recording process of this album. it was done fully analog 24 tracks to 48 tracks iirc...EVERYTHING heard was all done the old ways...no digital at all...quite amazingly done, and they have spoken about how painstaking it was to do, and then how they would translate it playing live...amazing...definitely worth looking into as it will shed light on the recording process...and how genius they are.

Hell yeah. This album was wholly produced by the band. Amazing feat of DIY ingenuity talent and insanity. Imagine performing this live with 1999 tech. Unbelievable.

[@melfie81]

Well another great band with Mike Patton is a supergroup called Tomahawk. It has members of The Jesus Lizard (guitarist), Helmet (drummer), and Melvins (bassist) which are all great bands in their own right. God Hates A Coward is a great song they did

[@bulgarincho]

one of the greatesssssssst!

[@acgijzen]

Said it on your first reaction to Mr. Bungle, I'll say it again. There is a recording of them on the Bizarre festival. The quality isn't the most brilliant, but I still think that it is the perfect cross-section of this band, absolutely stunning vocal work by Patton and shout out to the percussionist. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3vWpXqkqKaEhpY

[@EricGreene]

This album though. NOTHING compares. From this song to Retrovertigo, to Ars Moriendi, to Pink Cigarette, Sweet Charity, and more... There's so much gold here. For me this is one of the greatest albums any band has ever made. The band is so non-conformist but also incredibly creative and talented. Challenging all expectations and assumptions about making music, while also creating something absolutely memorable too. I mean you can sign along to so much > "walking on air, up from the wheelchair, I'll find my suicide, that I deserve" And how about the lyrics. "These words are sledgehammers of truth, that pound the iron heart of sin" - like so much of Mike's lyrics (in this band and others), it feels like he has something deep and meaningful to say, but really he's just having fun with you the listener. And that's kind of what the band is about - having fun, pushing those boundaries and expectations, all while exploring different possibilities in music. I appreciate the reaction!

[@madmadmatchew]

I’m seeing a lot of suggestions for “Carry Stress In The Jaw”. I completely agree. It’s on their album “Disco Volante” which was definitely their most experimental. I loved their first album (clown face) , and it was in heavy rotation for many an acid trip, so when I got Disco Volante, there was a lot of cognitive dissonance. I wondered if it was even the same band. But, over time, it grew on me like a fungus. There is soooo much depth to it. And one of my favorite things about it is the dynamics. There’s a very clear lack of heavy compression in the mastering phase. You’ll find yourself turning up the volume in parts and turning it down on other parts. Pure. Just pure.

[@ba_charles]

Love this track, great album too. It was their attempt to make something radio friendly (apparently they weren't listening to what was on the radio in 1999). Check out spinoff bands Secret Chiefs 3 and Fantomas if you're so inclined. Especially the album 'Suspended Animation', there's really nothing like it. Also Zorn's Moonchild project, my fav is Six Litanies for Heliogabalus. Maybe Slayer, too. As for genre, they were adapting contemporary art music techniques to rock music which I see as straight up prog right down the middle.

[@poly-rhythm]

+1 For Secret Chiefs 3. I recommend something off of Book M (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH6peX2LZbOCjdE ) or The End Times (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6TZon95iJaBe80 )

[@woundsdrone]

[@VjMavdog]

I see you've done a reaction video for Carousel from Mr Bungle's self titled album (AKA the Clown album), and now on this video Mr Bungle's California so I really do recommend listening to their second album Disco Volante and in particular the track called Desert Search for Techno Allah.

[@Shanannigan1]

I'm glad you mentioned the Beach Boys. This album has always felt to me like a modern Pet Sounds in spirit.

[@ilya.petersen]

Ars Moriendi, from the same album, may be my favourite Mr. Bungle song. And if you're diving into the weird "art rock" of the nineties I can highly recommend Idiot Flesh - Chicken Little.

[@jody9721]

The guitarist Trey Spruance also formed Secret Chiefs 3 who are AMAZING! Especially the album Book of Horizons.

[@tinflowers]

Thank you sir, love everything Patton, love Bungle.

[@arsmor1end1]

So happy to see another Mr. Bungle reaction! They were an inspiration to many of the bands you have covered on your channel. I believe this album was one of the most complex analog recordings ever done, and Brian Wilson was a huge influence on Trey's (guitarist, etc,) engineering guidance. To complete the Warner Bros trilogy, I recommend "Carry Stress in the Jaw" from Disco Volante. As for "Six Degrees of Separation" recommendations, just throw a dart at a list of any of Patton's other projects (Faith No More goes without saying): Fantomas, Tomahawk, Moonchild or any of his work with John Zorn, his EP with The Dillinger Escape Plan...But it would be REALLY cool to listen to you react to something by Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant!

[@tinygaucho4572]

The vocalist for Bungle is Mike Patton, who is one of the great vocalists of the last few decades, and perhaps an all time great. He's most well known for the band Faith No More, but he's done about a million side projects that showcase his talents in different ways. My recommendations for a Mike Patton mini-marathon: Faith No More- A Small Victory Mr. Bungle - Goodbye Sober Day Fantomas- Rosemary's Baby

[@kumakhan22]

YES! So glad you did this album, one of my all time favorites!

Soooooo happy you're digging into the Bungle rabbit hole. Mike Patton is not only a genuine musical genius, but he also has the widest vocal range of any human. (At least that's what I read) Some gems - Squeeze me macaroni, Ars Moriandi, Goodbye sober day. No other bands fit this genre lol. But some other Mike Patton bands I think would interest you - Peeping Tom (cross genre) Tomahawk (Rock/metal) Fantomas Melvins Big Band (weird and great) and of course Faith No More Aloha:)

[@scottftPerth]

I was so lucky to be introduced to Mr Bungle by my close friends who were learning to play both bass guitar, electric guitar and drums, and like me, already loved Faith No More and pretty much anything that Mike Patton was working on. They toured Australia in 96 and they played at one of the oldest venues in our port and fishing town of Fremantle (just south of Perth) and the entire audience were gobsmacked 😶 by how amazing their sound and theatrical on-stage antics were. Each band member swapping instruments with another band member just to wow the crowd. Mike Patton operating multiple layered keyboards and synthesizers, including an array of different microphones for all his voices. The drummer never stopped drumming for the entire set, even between songs. Incredible energy and still my favourite show in 30 years

[@chiefindisguise]

From the California album: 1. None of them knew they were robots 2. Arsmoriendi 3. Goodbye Sober Day Either one of those i would be happy to hear your reaction🙏🏻

I love how you completely get Bungle! This whole record has some real Pet Sounds influence, much more chilled than the first 2 records but still catches you off guard. Good stuff fella!

[@aldomaster]

You're absolutely right, The beach Boys was a huge influence in the sound of this record according to the band itself (specially their 1966 record 'Pet Sounds'). I guess they took that influence a step further by using production tricks from that era as well. Great video, very entertaining and informative. If you find time, react or at least listen to their song 'Stubb (A Dub)'. Keep on rocking!

(if you can use terms like that when talking about Mr.B lol) Plus it would be great to surf to as well! (: As for bands similar to Bungle. I'd love to see you do Idiot Flesh.

I was so happy I discovered them when I did, because it was literally 2 months before I was able to catch them live on the tour supporting their 1999 album, *California*. That was the last tour upon which they played their best-known songs. I definitely took two tabs of acid before that show. I danced my ass off. I was hysterical, and I had so much fun. I never grinned so widely for so long in my life. My mates said I thought I’d lost it permanently. They’re amazing.

I saw Bungle with Dillinger Escape Plan. Bungle were so loud that I had to go outside twice to let my eyes uncross. It was great to see 2 brilliant bands back to back!

"good bye sober day" or "Travolta" should be next

[@RAMONES3122]

Goodbye Sober Day would be a fun one from Bungle

One of my favorite albums of all time! I remember the day it came out and going to their show and meeting Mike Patton on the street in front of the theater and being shocked at how short he was! 😱

I suggest you to try Naked City Torture Garden, if it is possible, more crazy than MB. John Zorn - alto saxophone Bill Frisell - electric guitar Fred Frith - bass guitar Wayne Horvitz - keyboards Joey Baron - drums Yamatsuka Eye - vocals

the genre Mr.Bungle they fit in is the Mr.Bungle genre

First time I ever heard someone bring up the dark sublimnity that haunts this track. Thanks! Great channel

[@purevibemusicband5122]

All Mr Bungle songs are magic ride into creativity!

[@ButterMuttSquash]

Oh man, couldn't click the video fast enough; one of my favorites from this album. I was born way after the 60's but it's cool to hear how this song could bring you back to them.

[@onebeingeverybody]

really cool analysis mate, interesting to hear you communicate what you are experiencing in real time. you bridge the gap between us and the music really well.

[@DaminBomm]

Mr. Bungle is their own genre.

[@jasonschultz4213]

I saw them perform this at sno core. Blew my mind the whole show!

[@jpperron1835]

i haven't watched it yet but i am STOKED that you're doing this one!!! *clicks play*

[@olivierlasserre6229]

I loved your face on the first time you showcased a Mr Bungle song from their first album - classic! If you're looking for acts that follow the "you can't put my music in any box dude!" trend, couple of names spring to mind: Estradasphere & Secret Chiefs 3: equally bonkers, utterly brilliant and there is a surprise at every corner!

I’ve been waiting for this moment, Geebz!!!

This was released in 1999, when bands like Backstreet Boys were monopolyzing the billboard. This is so fucking unique and visionary.
