The product of madmen, Mr. Bungle's debut combines elements of funk, jazz, thrash metal and ambience to create one of the most insane rock records of all time. Each song is incredibly different, and not one rock n' roll formula is followed. There is no verse-chorus-verse flow to the album, but it certainly flows, full of audio clips and spoken word interludes, soft musical transitions between "songs" and drawn out endings on a few tracks. It's catchy and full of humor, it'll make you laugh and cry and laugh until you cry and then vomit up any idea of conventional music, which is essentially what they did. Mike Patton's vocals are much like they sound on The Real Thing (Faith No More) not so much like the rest of the stuff he did with them. This album came out around the same time, Mike was young, but he was experimenting with his vocals a lot more than he did with FNM, for they actually had some singles on the Real Thing. Mr. Bungle's debut album doesn't have any pop single material, but it's a record you'll never find anywhere else. It's like circus music, or like a circus rather, in that you'll ride until you get sick, and then jump right back on the ride begging for more.
