had the biggest impact on me. There’s a song on there called "Love Is a Fist" that's fucking crushing. That set the tone for us and what we went on to do creatively. They were completely outside the box and just didn't care – they satisfied only themselves. It wasn't about record sales, it was just about creating a band." Mike Portnoy, former drummer of progressive metal band Dream Theater named Mr. Bungle as one of his 10 favorite progressive rock albums of all time, as he wrote "It actually scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it. I literally had never heard anything that twisted and evil and joyful. It was just the most bizarre hour I had ever spent listening to music." Synyster Gates, from the hard rock band Avenged Sevenfold, named the album as "one of the most incredible pieces of music [he] has ever heard in [his] life". In 2021, Incubus vocalist Brandon Boyd stated that he was a fan of the album when it was first released, remarking that he loved how "irreverent and disgusting and scary the music was."
