California 1999

"I expected a lot from this album after hearing Mr. Bungle's debut and the brilliant "Disco Volante". Sadly, my impression of this album was not up to pair with those two albums at all. This one is more mainstream and accessible, with a light and summer-ish feeling to it. It's like listening to a "Fath No More meets Secret Chiefs 3" album, only more experimental, of course. The band plays good through-out the album, and most of the songs are great. The opener for example, is a really catchy and great tune, IMO. But this isn't really a Bungle record in my opinion, even though it's the same musicians as on their two first, this haven't got that Bungle-ish feeling to it that is needed to makes this a true Bungle record!

But of course, if you are a fan of this band you should give it a try. You might like it... or not. Depends on your musical taste. Fans of Faith No More and Secret Chiefs should also check this one out. I'll rate it 7/10 - could have been better, but recommended to fans."
