To Whom It May Concern:
This letter concerns the CD recently released by the band Mr. Bungle. I am a 19-year
old female, and I must admit, when I first bought this CD, I was very excited about it.
I thought it would be really good, but when I played it for the first time, I'll be damned
if I could understand a word of it. Then when I read the words, I decided that was probably
better that people couldn't understand what he's saying, because the songs they wrote are
nothing but filth and trash. All of the songs totally suck, to be quite honest. They are
the biggest bunch of nonsense I've ever heard in my life. How in the world Mr. Bungle ever
got a record deal is beyond me.
Now please don't get me wrong about this. I'm not a prude or for censorship or anything,
but I simply don't see the reason why you people allow such garbage to be produced. How
could you even consider it? Do you all think this band has even one ounce of talent in it?
I've heard local high school bands that can play a hundred times better than Mr. Bungle,
and yet they are no closer to a recording contract that the man on the moon. In fact, the
only reason I bought this CD is because I knew the lead singer "Vlad Drac" is really Mike
Patton of Faith No More, which by the way is a great band. I love Patton, which is
why I thought Mr. Bungle might be at least half as good as Faith No More, maybe even better.
That was my mistake.
But what really gets me is how stupid bands like Mr. Bungle make their money off some song
lyrics that make no sense in the world, and they make their money off of poor suckers like me
that could use that money on something worth listening to instead of wasting my time. The only
way they could have possibly gotten a contract is because of Patton, otherwise they couldn't have
made it to a high school Prom to play their ridiculous, chaotic, strange and bizzare music, much
less a recording studio. For one thing, there is no talent in this band whatsoever,
unless you call screaming talent. Cussing and vulgar language; another fine talent. Patton
can sing, but only when he wants to. In this band he doesn't sing; he screams and talks so
fast it's either inaudible or not understandable. Actually, words cannot describe how bad
this crap really is. Have you ever taken the time to actually listen to it? If you did,
then I know this ridiculous joke of a band would have never had the chance to make money off
of some songs that are so absolutely stupid that mental retards could have written them. I
think that's what they are anyway.
As you can already tell, I'm very dissatisfied with this CD, and am determined to get
back the full amount that I paid for it. Garbage like that doesn't deserve to be released
to the public, and I think that we, the public, deserve better.
Sincerely,
L.G.
St. Louis, MO.
P.S. If you ever get the chance to talk to Mike Patton, advise him to drop this crap band as fast
as he can, and stay with the Faith. They got him started and put him in the limelight, And he owes
it to them. I got some bad news for "Vlad Drac"; Mr. Bungle is not going to go anywhere as
far as success is concerned.
