    The most unenjoyable thrash metal album I have ever heard. Mike Patton's vocals are annoying, and his screams sound like a frog being slowly crushed to death (and not in a good way, obviously). Not a single song on this album is unique, with a few exceptions such as "Grizzly Adam" and "Hypocrites / Habla Español O Muere." Sometimes I wonder why couldn't they just make a Mr. Bungle albumThe most unenjoyable thrash metal album I have ever heard.

Not a single song on this album is unique, with a few exceptions such as "Grizzly Adam" and "Hypocrites / Habla Español O Muere." Sometimes I wonder why couldn't they just make a Mr. Bungle album that was experimental like the ones in the 90s? It would've sounded so much better! But sadly, we have to face the fact that THIS thing exists. Good riddance that I don't have to hear this ever again.

    A weirdly uncomfortable and exhilarating listening from start to finish. [Jan 2021, p.85]

    A further cover from that era, Corrosion Of Conformity’s “Loss For Words”, features alongside three previously unheard songs by the teenage group: “Methematics” stands out as a twisty prog-thrasher with shades of Voivod. It still amounts to a bit of a frippery, and one doesn’t have to look far to find a fan of the band cheesed off at Mr Bungle doing this rather than writing a follow-up to 1999’s California, but they don’t owe anyone anything.
