 "The closest thing Christian music ever had to Mr. Bungle, a relentlessly spazzy, hyperactive, experimental band from a town where I used to live in California, was the cassette No Options Here by the California band the Disciples. This is some of the weirdest, best, goofiest shit ever made under the Christian rock umbrella. No Options Here is as brilliant as it is obnoxious and jokey. It's a Christian rock record that does not take itself seriously - it ends with the track "Twenty-Seven Seconds of Weirdness" - but maintains a straight face about the importance of ultimate questions. "Roaches" starts out as spoken word/jazz but disintegrates into roaring punk. "No Surfing in Hell" is obviously on message, but it is actually a fun song about the horror of being sent to neverending torment. The best track is "Hard Tough Choice," because it's a straight forward song with a conservative Christian message (don't date non-Christians), but it bleeds emotion and sounds like a cross between the bands Faith No More and Bad Brains. Jason Sacks matter-of-factly sings, "You can't be my girl no more," but the music whirls, meanders, and turns in on itself, channeling confusion and uncertainty." "The closest thing Christian music ever had to Mr. Bungle, a relentlessly spazzy, hyperactive, experimental band from a town where I used to live in California, was the cassette No Options Here by the California band the Disciples.
