@@kc037 That song is also one of the more straightforward songs on the album compositionally (even moreso than this track really, maybe the most straightforward on the album, it’s mostly just a funk rock song), and based on his reaction to this I bet he’d dig it too.

[@jayrobb9]

If you listen to the OU818 demo, they pretty much already sounded like the first album. ESPECIALLY Carousel.

[@buzzclikverifyme]

There was a period of, like, 18 months in high school where I would listen to this first album at least once through every day. EVERY day. I was seeing a girl at the time whose father taught music theory at the university. One day, I was around at their house, and I had the CD in my school bag. My girlfriend had similar musical taste to mine, and she got her dad to come into the room to listen to some Mr. Bungle. As it played, he stood there thoughtfully nodding and occasionally cocking his head. As the song finished, he paused a while longer, then said, "That might just be the worst thing I've ever heard." To this day, whenever I listen to Bungle, I still think about that moment and laugh about it to myself.

Mike Patton is a musical genius. Not up for debate. Check out Pink Cigarette from Mr Bungle. Evidence, A Small Victory, Last Cup of Sorrow, from Faith No More. God Hates A Coward from Tomahawk. Neighborhood Spaceman, 5 seconds from Peeping Tom. His Italian project, Mondo Cane. Or Fantômas which is an experimental band where some albums are all “noise” vocals and more about creating an atmosphere than traditional songs. All Mike Patton groups. Patton is an ultimate talent. Great song choices too, so many channels are picking the same stuff or lame choices but you are hitting up some great songs

Just incredible work of art from people who have clearly mastered everything when it comes to music. Doesent matter which genre. Just mindblowing.

They originally started as a thrash- metal band from highschool to young adult, then switched gears to more Zappa, Capt. Beefheart, Residents influence along with metal, thrash, ska, jazz, etc. Lead singer Mike Patton went on to take over vocals and push Faith No More into the mainstream, nu-metal, etc. Mr. Bungle is back with an adjusted lineup: original vocalist, lead guitar and bass player but added Dave Lombardo (Slayer) on drums and Scott Ian (Anthrax) on rhythm guitar. But they're not doing this style, it's all thrash metal redoing Mr. Bungle's first ever cassette demo which never was release officially, until now.

Mike Patton's vocal range is six octaves. Not even kidding.

[@freultwah]

Patton is a monstrous talent, but his range is in no way six octaves. Keep in mind that the piano has a range of seven octaves, and no human comes even close. An average untrained singer has an octave, maybe an octave and a half. An exceptionally gifted singer has three, three and a half octaves, tops. See Luciano Pavarotti. Yes, there are numerous circularly linked sites and pages out there that claim some singers having 6 and what not, but those are compiled by amateurs who don't seem to know what they're doing using data that can't be even compared. Fry and falsetto cannot be considered part of range, and yet those rankings invariably include them.

[@pedrocarvalho6609]

This album came into my life in the early '90s. At the time I was a long-haired metalhead with a heart of gold and a penchant for LSD. As you can imagine this album struck a chord (pun intended) and pretty much became my de facto soundtrack when under the influence. I probably know this album as well as I know my own name. With that said, I absolutely love that you connected with this song so well and recognize the beauty within the chaos. The entire album deserves your time, and since most of the songs have creative and sometimes long interludes between the actual music listening to each song in order can be helpful. Their second major-label release is Disco Volante. It too is creative but is less palatable to the general public. One stand-out track is "Desert Search for Techno Allah." Their third major-label release is California and, like their self-titled release, is another masterpiece. I have several favorites, but the one I think I like most is "None of them knew they were robots." A lyrical breakdown, or an attempt at doing so, could make for an interesting reaction as well. Rock on, brother!

Bro what do you mean earlier? This song is from their first album. Retrovertigo is from their last.

[@notsure1350]

@@blexinrain3453 read his post again. It's pretty. Clear what he means. Their last album was less frantic than the first ones.

yes, retrovertigo is great

[@HamiltonSeen]

It really is just stunning in it's contrast, and a fantastic song. It's so hard to encapsulate what the Bungle thing is, with just one song. Or one album.

[@rudolphrictor5167]

I am so amazingly happy to see that you reviewed this song, for your first time, on my birthday. I grew up with this album during my self-discovery doing alot of LSD teenager phase. I used to drop 5-6 hits of acid every weekend and listen to this exact album over and over and over, it is forever one of my favorites and I can sing along with every single song, and will be able to for the rest of my life. I've got a personal theory that this album is thematically about a life, starting from conception/fetal stages with the first song, and ending in masturbatory suicide. It's a beautiful complete work, not for the faint of heart at all, but SO worth it.

Mr Bungle! Dude! So happy to see you check those guys out. Literally every single song is absolutely amazing in terms of the arrangements and the changes show each members mastery of their instruments in a way most other bands can only fantasize about. Such a fun and badassical band.

Wow what a gift to stumble upon the Great Mr.Bungle for the first time. Its like having your first beer. Congrats.

Oh man, Mr. Bungle is great. He did a ton of soundtracks for movies and whatnot. The first song that comes to mind with him for me is Desert Search for Techno Allah

[@camangoo]

Watching them live is absolutely incredible. They are so tight and unique.

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

I love watching that live show of them at Bizarre Festival where they play My Ass Is On Fire in an almost completely different way. They're so good that they can change the entire structure of one of their songs and it still works. Legends without a doubt 🔥

[@zatransis]

Oh man. Stoked you’re onto Mr. Bungle. Didn’t know you’ve covered Boingo. Going to have to find that now! Boingo definitely came first. OB is one of my favorite bands. If you haven’t yet, you should check out Danny’s new stuff. Really dope. Side note: by the time this was recorded, Ska had been mixing with metal for some time. Lots of great stuff to come out of the overlaps of those two genres. Keep it up!

Yes! Love Mr. Bungle. The new material is unabashedly metal but 1999's "California" is one of my favorite albums, period. So many great tracks but "Goodbye Sober Day" is a personal anthem.

[@tomobrien5345]

Their new stuff is very metal as the songs are re-recordings of the first songs they wrote when they were like 15. .........at least that's what I read

[@Zinfidel1]

@@tomobrien5345 I did not know that. It was just surprising to not only see Mr Bungle come back, but also do metal. Mike Patton does metal really well though. The Dillinger Escape Plan & Mike Patton EP "Irony Is A Dead Scene" is a classic and helped set DEP on their path towards an iconic status.

It was great seeing you dig this song❤ that album is a classic for me personally I’m now a subscriber and kudos to your followers for getting you to listen ❤

The whole debut album of theirs (the album that this song is on) is amazing. There is no filer, every track is perfectly composed. Carousel is probably the most "accessible" on the entire album, it's just insane.

Absolutely one of my favorite bands to ever exist. Thank you so much for tackling the beast that is Mr. Bungle. Watching your reaction was so much fun. It's even more fun watching you get a total kick out of them. I was able to see them twice during their earlier years and the new years eve show that i caught with them (along with Primus and Melvins) is emblazoned in my mind forever. For those of you at that show, you know what i'm talking about. This song is not an anomaly to this album. Each of their albums are very distinctly different from each other. On a side note, yes.... this album goes very well with heroic doses. The beginning of this album damn near startled the living excrement out of me on fungi. My wife can't tolerate this band for even a second.

[@krautgazer]

I think ska metal defines this song very well, actually. Or maybe circus ska metal. Other tracks by Mr. Bungle would fuse completely different genres than these ones. It's like playing the lottery with them. I'd highly recommend more reactions to Mr. Bungle!

[@metheus108]

surf-us circus ska metal

I think the best way to describe them is, a proggy/jazzy version of early Butthole Surfers. Now to define what's the early Butthole Surfers' sound is a problem.

Loved watching Key of Beebz break, Mr. Bungle, down from a musical engineering perspective. I have always wanted to see someone with this experience listen to a MR. Bungle song; especially from this album. I saw these guys at the Trocadero in Philly a long time ago! And it was INSANE! Good to see a professional see the complexity of the musical arrangement(s) imbedded in this song. I still listen to this song in the car, as much as I can. And now we have Mr. Bungle back with the axe from Anthrax and the drums of Slayer; no big deal! HFS! There new stuff is just pure fun!

[@notsure1350]

I didn't get this as a kid. There's just so much going on. Somehow, now, it all makes sense.

When they composed this, the guys were at the very start of their career. This is a high-school/college band !!

That whole MR.BUNGLE album is just a big take on Cardiacs' "Everso Closely Guarde Line"... an epic song with clown music wrapped through. Fantastic arrangements and unforgettable melodies.
