Angel Dust is definitely a more cohesive record than any of the other ones, but there's a few strange things going on, from the satirical anthem "Kindergarten" to the oddball slap bass on "Crack Hitler." It was (as you probably know) Patton's first assimilation of creative control within the band, and he brought so many great vocal themes into the mix. It's just as much of a part of Patton's mark upon music as anything he did with Mr. Bungle or his side projects.
