Title: Incredible musicianship, terrible songwriting
Product review: I gave this album a chance because it was recommended to me by a couple hipsters. I appreciate artists like Primus and Frank Zappa for their musical talent and avant garde style. Mr. Bungle seems to fit these two catagories, so I thought I'd dig them.The musicianship is incredible, arrangements are highly complicated, the lyrics are really out there. However, it's hard to appreciate it all when the songs simply aren't enjoyable to me. Many people listen to music for different reasons. Perhaps for shock value or brain exercise. For me, I simply listen to enjoy.The technical prowess of all the instruments are highly advanced (especially for when this was released). But in the end, this collective musical effort is not pleasing and lacks soul.
