DISCO VOLANTE

I'm not even going to bother trying to list all the styles of music Mr.Bungle covers on this album there is no need to because once this band touches it, it instantly becomes Mr.Bungle. Mike Patton is not really singing in the traditional sense all too much through out, nor is anything presented in any sort of traditional way with Disco Volante. It is totally unique. The musicianship is absolutely top notch, what sounds like a complete mess on first listen is really a tightly constructed act of insanity. The song Platypus might be one of the most needlessly complex songs written in the past 25 years. This album is at times the epitome of avant garde it is beautiful and violent, macabre and maniacal. This album is a challenge but the reward is well worth it.
