4.0 out of 5 stars A Breath Of Fresh Air, September 21, 2001

This review is from: Anarchists of Good Taste (Audio CD)

I will start by saying that one of my favorite bands is Mr. Bungle. Now, a lot of people say that Dog Fashion Disco is simply a "Heavier Mr. Bungle". But I do not see it that way. Its obvious that Dog Fashion Disco is heavily influenced by Bungle, but did not "rip them off". Its very difficult to copy what an amazing experimental band like Bungle did. Now, to the music. Every member of Dog Fashion Disco is very talented at his instrument. The creativity is obviously there. "Vertigo Motel" motel begins with their usual musical interpretation of death, but unexpectedly jams your ears into a blender of different musical instruments that you may have never heard from the likes of a metal band. The lyrics can even be interesting at times. Whether ranting about how vocalist Todd Smith is "coming to California to ... you, coming to ... and murder your family", or is warning you not to "fall asleep or we'll mutilate your genitals". Its pleasing to see this slew of bands influenced by the likes of Mike Patton making it big in the underground metal scene. Dog Fashion Disco is definitely a breath of fresh air in this currently unoriginal, tasteless, talentless world of metal.

thease guys play in my area alot, and i have yet to miss a show. they are one of my favorite contemporary bands. The sounds they make are so unique, they are the first i have heard to do what they do. It is a blend of creepy circus music, insane and hauntingly melodic vocals and hardcore yet sometimes playful riffs. they are sick in such a funny playfull way, you cant help but love everything they do! definatly pick up this cd if your tired of the same old hardcore riffs and hardcore formula bands. the only band that i can think of that comes close to thease guys is, well, noone now that i try to think of it. if you like heavy hardcore, you'll love thease guys, but dont take my word for it, visit your local cd store or online purchase machine [we love them] and pick them up today!

Dog Fashion Disco may have some similaities to Mr. Bungle, but who cares. Ten years down the line Bungle and DFD may be hailed as the early pioneers of this genre of music. It's about time somebody followed in Mike Patton's footsteps. DFD isn't as much like Bungle as everyone says, but possibly the closest to being influenced by Bungle along with Tub Ring. This is a great, heavy, melodic, experimental, hardcore, loungy, euphoric album. I only gave Anarchists of Good Taste 4 stars because I like Committed to a Bright Future slightly more. Final words: Don't be so stuck on Mike Patton(Which most of his albums deserve 6 stars) where you can't appreciate DFD because they are a great group, as this is a good album.
