Avant-garde, Mike Patton
Hmm... how do I sell this one? Well first of all it's a Mike Patton project, so already you should be salivating. I looked for multiple descriptions of this album and avant-garde was the best one, so that's what I labeled it as, but like most of Patton's manifestations, Mr. Bungle defies classification. Some have deemed it as experimental metal but I completely disagree, seeing as how the majority of the album is soft and melodic. There are a number of genre shifts though out the album, and at times it feels like the band has a bad case of ADD, but compared to the other two Bungle albums this one is definitely the most accessible. A vintage beach sound complemented by wine and weed. Fuckin' brilliant.
Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuin'
Starin' into glassy eyes, mesmerized
There's a vintage thirst returning
But I'm sheltered by my channel surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo
Mr. Bungle - RetroVertigo
