Drake Equation is the debut studio album by American rock band Tub Ring, released on June 12, 2001, by Invisible Records. It was produced by Mr. Bungle guitarist Trey Spruance.
Jeremy Salmon of AllMusic highlighted the album's eclectic style and frequent transitions, describing it as a "pastiche feeling not heard since Mr. Bungle's California . The album, which was produced by Mr. Bungle's guitarist Trey Spruance, features Kevin Gibson as a "near-soundalike" for Mike Patton. [1]
Salmon noted that "Bernard's Three Awakenings" stands out for its shifts between "sweet, up-tempo pop-punk", "complete grindcore", and "spronky banjo and bouncy rhythm". He wrote that the album is well-suited for those "with short attention spans" due to its rapid changes in style, offering "fine material for fans waiting for the next Mr. Bungle masterpiece." [1]
