One of my favorite tracks on the album.

I must offer up a few corrections though. Mr. Bungle was Mike Patton's high school band, which he was in before Faith No More. It's how he was discovered and offered the FNM gig. And that sort of covers the other correction, it's not his solo band, it was a band like any other, comprised of several musicians.

Anyway, it is indeed more accessible than their first two. When I first heard it, I thought it was a bit too tame, but I guess anything melodic after Disco Volante would seem that way. You can truly say that each of their albums is very different from the last. When Disco Volante came out I said WTF? So it's more accessible than the other two, but still not that accessible to the average person. The more I got to know it, the more I realize it's just as crazy and abstract as the rest of their stuff. Great album and I'm glad I caught the tour before it was too late.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
