Mondo Bungle

Gotta do the obligatory NMN post, everyone knows they're like my favorite band



Pretty sure this was the first I'd heard, and anyone will tell you that it is a masterpiece of punk music. It's at the perfect spot in their discography, they're in their absolute prime. Striking an untouchable balance of the oddball funky post punk they played in their earliest days, the noisy and complex free hardcore of Sex Mad, the progression of that style and expanded suite jams of Small Parts, and a precursor to the more developed and experimental as well as accessible punk that'd come after, and with their tongues digging as deep into their cheeks as ever.

Listening to thus album it's plain to see that each musician is a damn master of their respective instrument, and they're just superb crafters of high energy, insanely tight, intricate, and well thought out hardcore music. And here, they have graced us with a flawless album that absolutely does not let up in it's constant flow of rocking
