Pros: Catchy, Fun, Precise
Cons: none
Summary: Mr. Bungle is former Faith No More's vocalist Mike Patton's first project. They formed when he was about 15. Mike then joined Faith No More and basically used their success to establish Mr. Bungle into the world and were easily one of Patton's best ...

Pros: Grandiose
Cons: Impossible to love everything on it, with all the different styles...
Summary: I think we can safely say that California is the ultimate test album: If you think you are open-minded and have an eclectic taste in music, then by all means give Mr. Bungle one spin and see if you can stand it. You WILL be amazed! Not at how wonderful...

Pros: Innovative, refreshing and wildly eccentric but with some areas of sheer genius and expert lyrics/riffs
Cons: Not for the faint hearted, your mother wouldn't like it!
Summary: I have a friend. Well, I call him a friend but I might have to rethink that soon! ;O) He’s called Mark and is a student at university here in the UK, much younger than me and always goes a deathly shade of white when I mention my musical tastes. I have...

Pros: Quirky, different, varied and experimental while retaining some great tunes.
Cons: Perhaps too obscure for staunch fans of F.N.M, Some overlong numbers.
Summary: Mr Bungle march on with their third release 'California' which also proves to be their best work yet. While previous albums 'Disco Volante' and the self titled 'Mister Bungle' consisted of mostly manic changes in tempo and mish-mashed styles compressed...

Pros: Another fantastic ride from the San Frans most creative bunch.
Cons: There could be more songs.
Summary: Many people remember Faith no More, and ofcourse their unforgettable lead singer Mike Patton. Mr. Bungle is the band that Mike Patton was in before he even joined Faith no More, and this band was signed shortly after. I can remember my excitement upon...

Pros: Stunning creativity
Cons: Not an album for everybody
Summary: Hello everybody, and welcome to the wild and wacky world of Mr. Bungle. Mr. Bungle’s claim to fame, and indeed the way most people discover the band is their connection with Faith No More. When Faith No More got fed up of their abrasive singer Chuck...

Pros: great Bungle
Cons: none
Summary: Mr. Bungle are back with their third major label release, this time elegantly titled California. For the album tour, the group dropped their old masks and get-ups in favor of the more temperate stage set-up of a "California" theme.

Pros: You can play this album for your friends :)
Cons: Not as "heavy", shorter playing time than previous releases.
Summary: Mr. Bungle has once again set off in a new direction, this time taking their cacaphony of sound and styles and boiling it down to something a little more accessible to the mainstream listener. The frequent tempo and genre changes are still there, and...

Pros: inspirational, surprising, and sexy
Cons: the only con is that the album is only 10tracks long
Summary: Third time is definitely a charm. Mr.Bungle has always been a left-wing, unheard of although hugely popular enssemble. The chemistry of this band is phenomenal. Their quick, witty, genre-jumping changes leave you breathless and wanting more. Even...

Pros: Has something for everyone
Cons: I can find nothing wrong
Summary: The latest release from Mr. Bungle, California, Is their best to date. It comes together to form an unusual and pleasing sound. It takes an eclectic trip through songs of the absurd, such as None of Them Knew They Were Robots, to sounds that are more...

Pros: The Best Mr. Bungle album yet
Cons: No one knows Mr. Bungle
Summary: Talented, odd, and amazing are a few of the things that one would think of when listening to Mr. Bungle. Mr. Bungle first started 15 years ago in the small town of Eureka, California. Headed by Ex-Faith No More lead singer Mike Patton and guitarist Trey...

Pros: Great New Music, Lots of feeling, Bungle has matured! Less jumpy, More Feeling
Cons: that it is only one cd
Summary: This album is definitely one of the best albums of the new decade. Personally, i think this album is so good it is dangerous. Some songs make you so sad you want to lie on the floor and weep, and others just get your juices flowing making you want to...

Pros: perfectly orchestrated changes, flows and rhythms
Cons: not for the faint of heart
Summary: Before I wrote this I read some of the many opinions on this album and it was obvious that music lovers love this music. I've had and listened to, on an infrequent basis over the years, their self titled album which I thought was cutting edge then and...

Pros: More structured than previous releases. More accessable. A variety of sounds and styles.
Cons: While it might have something for everyone, not everything will probably appeal to everyone.
Summary: First of all, if you haven't heard the previous Mr. Bungle albums, go check out their first, self-titled one. Their second, Disco Volante, is optional. At this point, you should realize that any preconceived notions you might have about this band...
