Damn man,
California is my favorite Bungle album. I first got into Mr. Bungle with their self-titled album. I loved that one but honestly I was a little let down by
Disco Volante. Don't get me wrong, I liked the fact that
Disco Volante was weirder and more experimental than its predecessor but some of it has always felt a little too much like them just farting around. After that I fully expected their next album to be even stranger but lo and behold they surprised the hell out of me with
California which is basically their take on a pop album. I think I was little taken aback the first time I heard it but it quickly became my favorite.
