No that's not a lion's roar. That's Patton. He has such and incredible vocal range he can even imitate animal sounds.

You have now entered the Mike Patton zone. Now ya gotta do “Angel Dust” from Faith No More. (One of the best albums ever made).

I have to recommend “California” by them. It’s less heavy, and leans into surf rock, Latin, and jazz sounds a lot more. It’s getting away from what your channel’s content seems to usually be, but it’s breathtaking to hear them make such “pretty” music without compromising their weirdness, and they don’t let you forget their roots. At the very least give it a spin on your own time.

Never heard of this band before but damn, it sounds so much different from everything I've listened to, I love it! 🤘

This album changed my life. It opened up my mind and ears to tons of genres of music and is still one of my favs to listen to after endless hours of listening to music as an enthusiast and as a DJ. Fun fact - the arcade sounds from carousel are in fact from a 1988 pinball machine made by Williams Pinball called Cyclone. I played this game in arcades as a kid and bought one as an adult for not only my love of the game but as a Mr. Bungle fan.

Before you experience 'Disco Volante', Mr Bungle's following album, listen to Faith No More's 'The Real Thing' and 'Angel Dust' first. Disco Volante next. Then go back to Faith No More for their next album 'King for a Day'. The vocal progression between albums is worth the journey.

17:40 this is a sax, really inspired by John Zorn 18:17 this as well. A lot of this is inspired by John Zorn/Naked City, Mike Patton also worked with him too, it wouldn't surprise me if Zorn actually played on this... I should look it up.

My cousin and I wore out like 5 cassettes of this one back in the day. We couldn't get enough, there was nothing like it at the time. Cool to see 31 years later people still checking it out. Nice!

The reaction I’ve been waiting for. My favorite album of all time

Speaking of his vocal range. Mike Patton tops the list with his massive, six-octave range. The Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, etc., etc. singer comes in above Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Diamanda Galás, and David Lee Roth, all of whom bested Axl's five-octave range.

This is a really experimental album. I found Mr. Bungle recently, I'm big fan of KoЯn and they always said Mr. Bungle was a huge influence. I absolutely love how this album doesn't take itself seriously at all. Here are some facts about the songs: Quote Unquote was originally called "Travolta", but they eventually had to remove the Travolta name, so it only remained " " (hence the name). Slowly Growing Deaf is about the irony of people wearing earplugs to protect their hearing while at a live concert. Squeeze Me Macaroni is about sexual innuendos with food. Stubb (a dub) is about the life of the guitarist's dog Stubb, who died because of glaucoma when he was old. The song starts with "Now you're one of us, we call you family", that is the moment when Stubb was a puppy and became their dog. At the end, "Now you're underground, we call you memory" is the moment when Stubb died and they burried him. Girls of Porn is (obviously) about porn and masturbation. Love is a Fist is about domestic violence. This album also features a lot of samples and references from movies. The song Carousel contains samples from the arcade pinball machine Cyclone from 1988. The "Don't you fucking look at me" from My Ass is on Fire is a quote from the David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet. The sample of crying at the end of Stubb (a dub) is also from that movie. The "There's no place like home" from Egg is from The Wizard of Oz movie from 1939. "Grease is the word, it's the word, that you heard, it's the word, that you heard" from Travolta is from the 1979 movie Grease.

California is a must. Tomahawk anonymous is a fusion on Native American music and rock it’s mind blowing. Peeping Tom I think self titled is also Mike Patton killing it. 🔥

"I'm not sure what genre this is." Mr. Bungle: Yes. You should check out their other albums too! Each album is very different and nobody else sounds like them.

It's impossible to fully wrap your ears around this music in a single listen. 30 years later, I still hear more, and it still sounds as outside of time and space as the day it dropped.

One of the greatest bands ever. The next 2 albums are completely different but still great. Their 3rd album California is one of the greatest ever.

This album is one of the few albums that made me go “What the F***?!”, and I love it for that.

Mike Patton is an absolute treat, everything he touches is super rad.

Growing up in the San Fran bay area Mr Bungle stood out with their costumes and sound. Most unsigned bands at the time were trying to be the next Metallica, Testament, Exodus, Vio-lence, etc that were making an impact on the world. Though it felt a lot of the time people were waiting to hear their covers. I could list a bunch of easter eggs on this album but since you mentioned the arcade sounds in 'Carousel' have to point out your good ear as the song is full of arcade samples especially the Cyclone pinball machine. John Zorn who produced the record is a big time avante-garde jazz musician and would recommend people try out some of his projects if they liked this. Especially Naked City and Painkiller with those projects having grindcore and metal elements.

'An unhinged sound' ha, best summary of Bungle! It's a mental album, I love it.

First time I heard this I was on acid. It burned itself into my brain and scared the shit out of me. The lyrics on this record are absolutely next level. About a month later my friends and I drove to New Orleans and were walking down Decatur street. We saw a bunch of show fliers are sure enough, tonight at the New Orleans Expo Hall, Mr. Bungle!! So I saw Mr Bungle on accident in New Orleans in 1991. One of the most intense shows I've ever seen. They were scary and cruel and confrontational. Patton attacked someone with his mike, swing it like a mace and hitting a guy with it. Crazy night!

Patton is a innovator and I believe he can sing more octaves than anyone else. I first heard this album I think in 1994 when I was stocking shelves and a co-worker asked if I wanted to smoke a doobie after work, hells yeah. What does he play at his house, This album and changed my collective forever!!!!!Thanks MIke Patton!!!!!

That screeching sound you heard in Love Is A Fist is Mike Patton. Not only does he have an ungodly vocal range, but also has the ability to just make noises, controlled noises. I suggest his solo album Adult Themes For Voice to hear more. He's just absolutely amazing. Thanks

Another very entertaining reaction! You're probably the only reaction channel I really follow. This album is legendary and influenced SO many bands from Korn to Dillinger Escape Plan. The world of Mike Patton is wild and wonderfully.

Never clicked so fast. Fun fact 'quote unquote' was originally 'Travolta' but the actor John Travolta didn't want his name used. So they later changed the name to just quote unquote as a joke.

I was aware of Mr Bungle but never listened to their albums. After hearing this I can tell you that Incubus SCIENCE and Fungus Amongus are very similar to this and seem to be heavily influenced by it.

Yeah all the different genres and mixture of sounds was their goal! Fucking geniuses, they were going for a jazzy but funky metal sound which almost pioneered Nu metal. The crazy vocals/music inspired bands like SOAD, Mushroomhead, and even Deftones! Edit: that roar was Mike, he can reach up to 6 octaves in vocals, that's more than Freddie Mercury, and other greatly known singers!

You should tour the rest of their work. They started as speed metal with "raging wrath of the Easter bunny" and though they quickly diverted to more experimental sounds, their speed metal roots influenced legends such as Anthrax. "Disco Volante" is my favorite and their most experimental... But not their most accessible. Their most accessible is "California" and it is a masterpiece of genre twisting ballads and pop music from all the ages mixed with jazz and metal. So good!

There has never been a band like Mr.Bungle and there never will be again. I'm so happy to have existed in the same time stream.

The fact that you took on this album earns much respect. A masterpiece in its own right. One of my favorites of ALL time. Great job. Much love.

Wow I just did my first listen all the way through of this album. Such a complete mindfuck.

Also, Stubb - A Dub gets me in the heart. It's about the guitarists dog dying. It's so weird and yet an oddly beautiful tribute.

What a great reaction video, it was such an honest genuine take. Being your first time hearing the album you picked up on their music talent, their unconventional style, the impressive vocal range of Mike Patton, and the comedy. You also called out the ambient segways between songs, which I appreciate, they definitely help keep the tone of the album. Thank you for such an entertaining video!

I enjoyed your many expressions of confusion and pain

Amazing!!! I'm loving that you're getting into the Mike Patton universe because I am also living out of his projects. Love that in "squeeze me macaroni" they sing "nick nack paddy wack, give a dog a bone" just like korn does in "shoots and ladders" :) excited for the angel dust video, take care!

love how they smash the intro with quote unquote haha... So in your face. This album is a masterpiece

Mr. Bungle is the band that will lead you down to the rabbit hole, grab you by the arm and drag you behind in an uncanny approach. I like to view mr.bungle as a metal version of frank zappa meets primus.

I saw Mr. Bungle five times from 1995-2000. Still love them twenty years later.

Yes!! So glad to finally see this reaction…your expressions were exactly how I imagined they’d be lol. I agree about the heavier stuff on the album shining, and My ass is on fire is also my favorite! I remember hearing this for the first time when a friend played it and kinda being like wtf…but I was amazed by the genre blending and experimentation. Definitely an album I still play today, thanks so much for making this even though it didn’t win the poll way back when!

Not an album, but the live at the Bizarre Festival 2000 of Mr Bungle is an amazing video, the whole band sounds great, and Patton is on fire and so entertaining, incredible singing and crazy stage presence

Mike Patton is the one of the most incredible vocalists. His range and ability is galactic. He's also voiced video games: The Infected in Left 4 Dead, the angry core in Portal, the Darkness monster in The Darkness. Just look up a compilation of him and you'll be amazed.

The song "Dead Goon" is actually about what's happening on the cover. A clown accidentally dies during auto-erotic asphyxiation. Gnarly stuff. Also awesome

Waw ! I'm discovering your videos, and this is great to watch ! I mean, the way you genuinely discover the songs, but also really analyse and interpret them, this is probably how all of us old school fans of these artists would love to have our beloved ones introduced to them. Especially the reactions you have to those crazy transitions, when you look at the camera and make faces, I swear, this is probably something I've hoped would happen when trying it on friends, but would fail in the end. Thank you for that ! And thanks to the YT algorythm for the suggestion ! Your videos are really something else, and all those reaction video makers who only give us overacted facial expressions and shallow words would have a lot to learn here ! Great great work ! I hope you make a ton of others (...if it hasn't been done yet !! I'll be checking right away!)

OMFGGG YESSS 😍💗 (prewatch comment)

My favorite Mr. Bungle album is California. I think its a perfect album youd really enjoy! Awesome reaction!

i have been waiting for Molly to finally do this . thank you molly , now we can sleep !

This is what I've been waiting for :D

you can definitely hear where bands like system of a down and dog fashion disco (great band) got their influence from.

Hi Molly I just discover your channel, I love your reaction! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

Mr. Bungle and Mike Patton will open up a whole new world of stuff for you. Mike has done so many different projects through the years - even Dillinger Escape Plan's Irony is a Dead Scene EP, but he's probably most well-known for his contributions to Faith No More. Mr. Bungle's genre is probably best described as avant-garde metal/jazz. It's almost borderline grindcore at times. It's very reminiscent of something like John Zorn's project, Naked City (John actually produced this Bungle record as well). Mr. Bungle's '99 release, California, is a bit more "conventional" (I use that term loosely here) - really beautiful and quirky record that I think showcases Mike Patton's wild range perfectly. They're a very talented group of musicians that make some of the most otherworldly-sounding stuff I've ever heard.

Ya know, I'm into a ton of different music but I could never sink my teeth into this band. Our producer raves about these guys, but no matter how much I chewed it, I could never swallow. Don't get me wrong, I respect their style. Also, I like that you don't only do bands I like lol helps me revisit old bands I've been jaded against

YES!! One of my favorite bands of all time and my favorite singer of all time! This is my 2nd favorite album by them, I'm hoping you'll do a reaction to Disco Volante, their second album and definitely on my top 5 albums of all time. It's quite uh... polarizing, so I'd be interested in seeing what you think haha. As for Mike Patton there's just so much good stuff... Faith No More, Fantômas, Dead Cross, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom... Keep up the good work!

“broadway musical sound” - well observed. Note the lyrical references to the musical Grease. They’re all over the album but this song in particular the original title of which was “Travolta”.

Also fun fact about Mike Patton, his voice is so iconic and amazing that he worked on the Darkseeker screams and noises on I Am Legend!

This album is new to me as well. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for doing this one!!!!

California is definitely my favorite Mr. Bungle album (and one of the most important albums for me on my life-long music journey), but this one is just such crazy musical entertainment and just such an anomaly when you consider when this came out and that it was released on a major label. And yeah, Mike Patton has put out and been involved in such a prolific amount of music that you're basically opening up a huge Pandora's box if you decide to delve into more.

Quote Unquote was originally titled Travolta. But they got a letter from Travolta's attourney and had to change it. You can actually hear him whisper "travolta".

You can't go wrong with any of the choices I've seen in the comments, but I'm putting my vote in for Disco Volante. Man, if you thought this one was strange... I saw them on the DV tour, and it was... like being in a museum. We just stood there and stared at it. The musicianship was impeccable. Flawless. Nobody was dancing, we just stood in awe. Edit: the opening band was Melt-Banana. Highly recommend them too!! I saw them years later and they were not only really good, but super nice after the show and autographed all my merch. Yay!

Once you hear Mr Bungle, you will never think of music the same way again.

Well that was a rather enjoyable reaction Molly!! It was fun to watch you try to describe each piece :) I can't say I've enjoyed Mr. Bungle, however I appreciate the experimental insanity but haven't listened since it was released. Just wanted to plug Angel Dust by Faith no More, released one year later in '92, with the same lead singer, Mike Patton.

Hey Molly.. Just found to us last week… I think I love you!!! You’re synopsis of the Albums are so good. Also very candid and open. Reflect my opinions on this album are spot on. The more you listen, the more you’ll like it too. It’s magical.

I love this album so much! I remember listening to it over and over on my shitty cd Walkman in high-school. Love is a fist is still a stand out for me. Great reaction!

Finally! Love your channel and Mr Bungle, you are in for a treat! Disco Volante might be even crazier, but i bet you will love California by them.

Been waiting for this and you delivered!!! Disco violante and California next! You’re in for a ride!! Yay!

I haven't watched the video yet but I am so happy you are reacting to Mr. Bungle. Them and Igorrr are easily the weirdest bands I've ever heard and I love it!

Fun Fact: Chords from Quote/Unquote inspired Head (from Korn) when writing the song that would become Blind. That Mr. Bungle album is great.

Great reaction, so nice to see that you get them. Yes, do "Angel Dust" one of the best albums ever.

Oh man. Great reaction. This, as you know, is Bungle's 1st. They have 3 albums with completely different themes. This one is all tricked out in carnival vibes. Disco Volante is just experimental. 8 can't really put my finger on the dark vibe. But California is an absolute masterpiece, as far as music goes. It has that beach vibe and is a 'must own' for any music enthusiast. Keep it up!

One of my all time favorite albums. Great video! Love your owl. 🦉

Yessss Finally! You are awesome.... welcome to the beginning of the Mike Patton experience

haven't listened to this in a while, it's not for everyone, but that's what I love about it, and I think you reacted appropriately considering all the zaniness going on throughout...Squeeze Me Macaroni and My Ass Is On Fire are my favorites, also, the running down the corridor and taking a dump has me laughing every time...Mike is a special talent indeed, aside from FNM, other projects he's in like Fantomas, or Tomahawk are also worthy of checking out

Wow, that was a great reaction! I think you would really like their 3rd album 'California' it has extremely beautiful parts along with the heavy stuff up your alley.

What a pleasant surprise. My ass is on fire is my favorite tune at the moment. Insane stuff.

ok now that i've watched almost the whole thing I love PPL discovering Bungle in 2022! This is amazing

12:42 is audio from the David Lynch film "Blue Velvet". This, along with Mike Patton's cover of the "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" theme song show he's a big fan. I'm sad he wasn't approached to collaborate on the Lost Highway soundtrack like many other artists were.

My ass is on Fire live is soooooo good!!! Also retro vertigo!!!! Lord none of them knew they where robots classic. They’re where known for blending everything musical and sound wise… revolutionary. I heard this 1st through the Demo version and Wow it blew Tower Records in DC away…….Boom!!!!

I was waiting for another upload from you Molly Im new, you might remember me from your comments on your last vid (Korn : Issues) Can’t for more Slipknot & KoRn reactions, I love your vids Molly 😎 Keep up the great work 👍

finnallyyyy!!! great reaction

Omg yes, best album ever!

This is my favorite album at the end of the day, I love how it takes you on an adventure into the most insane stretches of musical bounds and insanity, I love how you just sit down and break it apart track by track, as if it's supposed to make sense in one listen

Hiya Molly. Uh.....this is un expected. You know I have to leave my funfact as always. This is Korn's biggest influence. You can really hear it in Quote/Unquote aka Travolta. Prior to Korn before they acquired Jonathan Davis when they were called LAPD, you can really hear their love for Bungle/FNM. Mike Patton, the singer of Bungle is one of my all time favorite singers. Thanks for this Molly.

Thanks for reacting to this! Grease is the Word!

Favorite bungle track is everyone I went to high-school with is dead. Sludgy as hell. People are recommending a lot of mike Patton down there. The dillinger escape plan ep with him on vocals (irony is a dead scene) is one of the best.

Love your reaction videos!

Most of the noises that you might hear that sound like a voice are probably Patton's voice. Dude can make an unreal amount of otherworldly sounds. Fun trivia, he made a bunch of crazy zombie noises and growls for the Left 4 Dead games and I believe some of the people working with him behind the scenes were a little freaked out about how many noises he could make without needing special effects.

You're simply fabulous. An amazing reaction to a beautiful musical catastrophe! 🥂

LOL at this! Great review! Brings me back to me heading to Rainbow Records in Santa Rosa CA. to pick this disk up on the day it came out.

Yeeeeah finally a mr bungle reaction 😎👌

Brings me joy to see you experience hearing this album for the first time, because the first time for me was a mind-opening moment. I couldn’t explain how it sounded and just had to give it to people to listen to, and get their reactions. One friend of mine described it as “that album is beyond music...” and I think that was the point. Amazing what an artist can do with a full palette of colors to paint with.

This is great I love peoples first reaction to their self titled album

10:21 that was his actual voice. Mike Patton actually voiced the zombie sounds on the game Left 4 Dead.

Idk if your gonna keep going with Mr. Bungle . But if do i hope and cant wait to see your reaction to the album "California" 👍

The‘weird vocal distortion’ on Egg is the first verse played in reverse

California by Mr Bungle is a must-react for you. Incredible album.

Haha I feel like you always know the albums I love cus I always see you reacting to my favorites, I absolutely adore this album! My first time hearing this I was legitimately scared of the album lmao. I highly reccomend their other two albums, Disco Volante is even weirder and more chaotic however California dials down the chaos to focus more on quality songwriting and a more focused album experience.

FINALLY! This is my favorite album

Oh man. Your reaction to Quote Unquote was solid gold. "Now it's going into this slow trance like trance inducing sound - ... nevermind"

I just discovered your channel. I checked Angel Dust video first and I loved it so I came here for more!! I love the way you make reactions, with smart/clever comments about songs. It could be good if you react to first Fantomas album (another Patton project, maybe his most personal and heavily influenced by Demetrio Stratos). New suscriber here from Spain.

Vocalist Mike Patton actually provided the voices for the zombies in the movie I am legend with Will smith. Also, the new Mr Bungle record, which was a re-recording of their original demo, is one of the best thrash albums you can ever listen to. It is heavy af. Amazing record.

The crying after Stubb a dub is lifted from the movie Blue Velvet. Great and weird David Lynch movie.

Gonna agree with the people saying that Angel Dust is the best album from a musicality perspective for Mike Patton. But maybe the most ridiculous Mr. Bungle album is Disco Volante. I still can't wrap my head around that one.
