Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante

to most this is THE Bungle album, to me it's something to be checked off a list. after ditching the costumes and pseudonyms of the first album and *gasp* letting the mainstream know that this actually WAS the new singer from Faith No More's other band what did they do? they wrote a bunch of songs about being pissed off at their moms and highschool and wanked on their instruments, a lot. was this supposed to appeal to the despondent grunge listeners? the leftover late 80s early 90s metal fans that flocked to FNMs 'The Real Thing' and 'Angeldust'? the weirdos who loved the spastic funk metal of their self-titled debut?

weird for the sake of being weird turned into long winded masturbatory rhythm solos like 'Carry Stress in the Jaw', 'The Bends' and 'Merry Go Bye-Bye' which just like the description for Television's Marquee Moon earlier mentioned became something to be heard rather than something listened to.

Totally disagree about Marquee Moon but that's the besides the point because you are dead on about Disco Volante. It has its moments, like "Desert Search for Techno Allah", but nevertheless it is a distant third when compared to the other two commercially released Bungle albums.

Agreed. I'll take the self-titled myself...
