For while they specialize in the art of melting brains by composing some of the most twisted music imaginable, one gets the feeling that they're not even trying. The bastards. Having spent the last few years attending to other projects - Faith No More, Fantomas, Secret Chiefs 3, for starters - Mike Patton's mob are back with their third album, 'California', and it's as loopy & (surprisingly) laid-back as its namesake. Neither as heavy as their 1990 debut nor as psychotic as 1995's 'Disco Volante', 'California' comes off like the soundtrack to a Middle Eastern surf movie in which one-eyed, crack-smoking dwarfs massacre the Beach Boys. Jazz, metal, bebop, gospel, soul, country, pop & surf-rock combine to make one eye-twitching ride: witness the chop-change madness of 'Ars Moriendi' & 'The Air-Conditioned Nightmare'. Only on the FNM-esque 'Retrovertigo' & 'Pink Cigarette' does some semblance of sanity enter the equation. While lacking in any massive distorted rifferama - 'Goodbye Sober Day' is the brilliant exception. 'California' is arguably Mr. Bungle's most beguiling effort to date. Song-focused without sacrificing any of their trademark quirk, that line between genius & madness just got fainter." -Kerrang! California on CD: https://www.amazon.com/California-MR-...
