I have to recommend “California” by them. It’s less heavy, and leans into surf rock, Latin, and jazz sounds a lot more. It’s getting away from what your channel’s content seems to usually be, but it’s breathtaking to hear them make such “pretty” music without compromising their weirdness, and they don’t let you forget their roots. At the very least give it a spin on your own time.

I of course had to put some Mr. Bungle on after watching this and it got me thinking about a record I’ve really fallen in love with lately, “Juju” by the post-punk/new wave/goth band Siouxsie and the Banshees. There’s not really a strong connection, it’s just an incredibly inventive and forward-thinking guitar album that I highly recommend and I would love to see a reaction to. And now that I think about it, bands like Siouxsie or The Cure from that era had their own sizable influence on nu-metal so you might find it interesting if you’re still exploring through that lens.

Patton's work includes the bands, Lovage, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Peeping Tom, Dead Cross, Nevermen various collabs from Bjork, Serj Tankian, John Zorn, Dillinger Escape Plan etc. Various solo projects & a few film scores & game vocals.

This is a really experimental album. I found Mr. Bungle recently, I'm big fan of KoЯn and they always said Mr. Bungle was a huge influence. I absolutely love how this album doesn't take itself seriously at all. Here are some facts about the songs: Quote Unquote was originally called "Travolta", but they eventually had to remove the Travolta name, so it only remained " " (hence the name). Slowly Growing Deaf is about the irony of people wearing earplugs to protect their hearing while at a live concert. Squeeze Me Macaroni is about sexual innuendos with food. Stubb (a dub) is about the life of the guitarist's dog Stubb, who died because of glaucoma when he was old. The song starts with "Now you're one of us, we call you family", that is the moment when Stubb was a puppy and became their dog. At the end, "Now you're underground, we call you memory" is the moment when Stubb died and they burried him. Girls of Porn is (obviously) about porn and masturbation. Love is a Fist is about domestic violence. This album also features a lot of samples and references from movies. The song Carousel contains samples from the arcade pinball machine Cyclone from 1988. The "Don't you fucking look at me" from My Ass is on Fire is a quote from the David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet. The sample of crying at the end of Stubb (a dub) is also from that movie. The "There's no place like home" from Egg is from The Wizard of Oz movie from 1939. "Grease is the word, it's the word, that you heard, it's the word, that you heard" from Travolta is from the 1979 movie Grease.

I can tell you're a fan, but I have to take issue with your statement that "this album doesn't take itself seriously at all." This is, hands down, the most audacious major label debut album I've ever heard, and I think the characteristic you're hearing is what the kids of today would call "giving zero fucks," but is more properly described as insouciance. They are indifferent to how it's perceived by an audience, but I think you can't achieve such greatness without caring deeply about your art. They created this strange music that they enjoyed and played the hell out of it, anticipating that nobody would listen to, like, or understand it. Even though a lot of the subject matter is immature, the performance is anything but, because I think they were doing it for themselves. The dichotomy is confusing, but ultimately strengthens the material, in my opinion.

So I saw Mr Bungle on accident in New Orleans in 1991. One of the most intense shows I've ever seen. They were scary and cruel and confrontational. Patton attacked someone with his mike, swing it like a mace and hitting a guy with it. Crazy night!

I used to subscribe to a magazine called "Option", which was a very well-done magazine of the alternative acts from the decade surrounding that time and either on the back cover or inside the front cover was the most bizarre artwork I`d ever seen promoting any band.....Mr. Bungle. I just had to pick up a copy. At that time, the first track was actually titled "Travolta" and had to be legally changed later. I, too, saw them on their `91 tour at the old "9:30 Club" in DC and their performance was absolutely nuts. Really tight musicianship, LIVE ON STAGE, musicians wearing Slipknot-like masks--`twas rather disturbing. I`ve been a fan of this musical mania since. I was just listening to it again on the way home from work tonight. I better listen to Mahler`s 3rd tomorrow to reorient my scrambled brain cells.

Growing up in the San Fran bay area Mr Bungle stood out with their costumes and sound. Most unsigned bands at the time were trying to be the next Metallica, Testament, Exodus, Vio-lence, etc that were making an impact on the world. Though it felt a lot of the time people were waiting to hear their covers. I could list a bunch of easter eggs on this album but since you mentioned the arcade sounds in 'Carousel' have to point out your good ear as the song is full of arcade samples especially the Cyclone pinball machine. John Zorn who produced the record is a big time avante-garde jazz musician and would recommend people try out some of his projects if they liked this. Especially Naked City and Painkiller with those projects having grindcore and metal elements.

Waw ! I'm discovering your videos, and this is great to watch ! I mean, the way you genuinely discover the songs, but also really analyse and interpret them, this is probably how all of us old school fans of these artists would love to have our beloved ones introduced to them. Especially the reactions you have to those crazy transitions, when you look at the camera and make faces, I swear, this is probably something I've hoped would happen when trying it on friends, but would fail in the end. Thank you for that ! And thanks to the YT algorythm for the suggestion ! Your videos are really something else, and all those reaction video makers who only give us overacted facial expressions and shallow words would have a lot to learn here ! Great great work ! I hope you make a ton of others (...if it hasn't been done yet !! I'll be checking right away!)

Well that was a rather enjoyable reaction Molly!! It was fun to watch you try to describe each piece :) I can't say I've enjoyed Mr. Bungle, however I appreciate the experimental insanity but haven't listened since it was released. Just wanted to plug Angel Dust by Faith no More, released one year later in '92, with the same lead singer, Mike Patton.

Mr. Bungle and Mike Patton will open up a whole new world of stuff for you. Mike has done so many different projects through the years - even Dillinger Escape Plan's Irony is a Dead Scene EP, but he's probably most well-known for his contributions to Faith No More. Mr. Bungle's genre is probably best described as avant-garde metal/jazz. It's almost borderline grindcore at times. It's very reminiscent of something like John Zorn's project, Naked City (John actually produced this Bungle record as well). Mr. Bungle's '99 release, California, is a bit more "conventional" (I use that term loosely here) - really beautiful and quirky record that I think showcases Mike Patton's wild range perfectly. They're a very talented group of musicians that make some of the most otherworldly-sounding stuff I've ever heard.

You can't go wrong with any of the choices I've seen in the comments, but I'm putting my vote in for Disco Volante. Man, if you thought this one was strange... I saw them on the DV tour, and it was... like being in a museum. We just stood there and stared at it. The musicianship was impeccable. Flawless. Nobody was dancing, we just stood in awe. Edit: the opening band was Melt-Banana. Highly recommend them too!! I saw them years later and they were not only really good, but super nice after the show and autographed all my merch. Yay!

Interesting review Molly. You should definitely hear more of Mike Patton's stuff on his different projects. All weird and experimental. Maybe the most normal thing he did was in Faith No More. Another detail is that the album was produced by John Zorn who has made many, many experimental jazz albums, mixing jazz with noise and metal, you should react to some of them, although he doesn't have his albums on streaming. Cheers.
