I don't believe Bungle are nearly as inventive of a band as they're made out to be either. I mean, give the 70s swedish prog band "Samla Mammas Manna" a listen if you do:
With that said, I think it gives bands like Estradasphere, Tub Ring, and even Dog Fashion Disco a little bit of room to breathe. However, even as somebody who is a large defender against the 'Bungle knockoff!!! durr!!!!" people, this album even got a bit iffy with the parallels to the self entitled Bungle album than any listed before.
It's not bad, but it just feels like a commercialization, and oversimplification of their sound. I'd actually defend Estradasphere for doing the opposite, and pushing the instrumental virtuosity envelope a tad further.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
