He thought long and hard | | of what to do. He realized he needed some form of entertainment. He, in | | secret, created Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn, Trey Sprunance, Jed Watts, | | Theo Lengyl, and Martin Fosnaugh. God made these folks practice for | | millions of years, until he thought they should make some demos. They | | first made The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny, and while God was | | pleased with this creation, he thought that Jed and Martin were not | | right for Mr. Bungle. So, he created Scott Fritz and Hans Wagner to play | | on their next demo Bowel Of Chiley. He was very pleased with this | | release also, but though that Scott was not right for Mr. Bungle either. | | So Mr. Bungle made another demo for God and right then he knew. He | | needed Clinton KcKinnon and Danny Hefetz and then his band would be | | perfect. They recorded their last demo OU818 and god knew it was time. | | He quickly made Warner Brothers Records sign Mr. Bungle and they made | | their self titled CD. He wanted more and four years more he got it in | | the form of Disco Volante, the band at their most experimental and | | weird. The members of Mr. Bungle fired Theo before they started making | | their next album and this angered God as he knew that Theo had always | | added something great to their sound. Regardless of this, God still | | craved more of Mr. Bungle!! He had to wait patiently for four more years | | until finally they released this album, California. | | | | When God finally obtained this album, he tore off the packaging with | | glee. He didn't know what to expect. Would it be another album in the | | vein of their self titled days, a ska-circus-metal-weird-freak-out | | album? Would it be as experimental and crazy as Disco Volante? Would it | | be more experimental than Disco Volante?? Or would they go all the way | | back to their grindcore/death metal days? God couldn't think about it | | anymore and popped this CD into his CD player. | | | | The sounds of seagulls are what came from his speakers, quickly followed | | by the relaxing sounds of violins, steel guitars and other instruments | | he didn't exactly know that names of. (Yeah I know he's God...) This was | | not the Mr. Bungle he knew. He didn't know what to think. Maybe it would | | turn into the Bungle he knew. This was some sort of introduction, that's | | it! Yes! Just to trick you into thinking this album was going to be | | slow. Ha! Fat chance!! It begin to fade out. Good. That song was | | terrible, but now is fast. It's heavy. But not Bungle heavy. He turned | | off the cd as soon as he heard Mike singing. Too calm. This is not | | right. | | | | He thought he should go to bed. He did, and the next day he came to the | | CD with a different point of view. He turned the CD on again. Bracing | | himself for what was about to come, he just listened. There were those | | damn seagulls again. It didn't seem to bother him as much this time. The | | seconds those relaxing instruments came on he knew. Yes, this was the | | same Bungle. He loved it. He listened to the whole thing. Through the | | jazzy None Of Them Knew They Were Robots. Through the haunting | | RetroVertigo. Through the spastic Air Conditioned Nightmare. Through | | everything. He listened to it again and again and again. He flat out | | loved it. | | | | You see, Mr. Bungle go everywhere. They are most definitely not afraid | | to experiment with different instruments, and give many layers to their | | songs. Goodbye Sober Day has been rumored to have used 40 separate | | tracks to make the final song. Mr. Bungle journey from genre to genre | | within one song, within seconds you go from listening to tribal chanting | | to metal. It all happens so smooth, and never comes off as forced. What | | is on this album cannot be put into one single genre, and I don't think | | anyone will ever be able sum up Mr. Bungle with a single word, and this | | album portrays them at what many see as their best. | | | | Every song on hear is completely beautiful in their own way, and all do | | take time to grow on you. Every song has enormous replay value, as there | | are many new things to discover upon each listen. I still can listen to | | a song, which I have practically memorized and be amazed by finding a | | new instrument hiding deep within the mix. This music is fun and | | unpredictable. | | | | It is their last album, and they have officially disbanded even though | | they do continue to all make music in other projects, they will never be | | able to touch the music they made when they all came together, as when | | their minds combine and they play their instruments together, there is | | nothing that they can do to beat the emotion, talent, and sheer | | creativity that they made. I believe that the best word that you can use | | to sum up Mr. Bungle and this album is remarkable.

Gotta say, this torrent is ace. Not only is it a FLAC version of my favourite album of all time, but it's got cuesheets for both FLAC and WAV. Awesome upload-- seeding forever.
