Don't let the title fool you

Review Score: (4/10)
When I first heard Faith No More was putting out an album called, "Album of the Year", I got pumped. I knew "King For a Day/Fool for a Lifetime" was a flop, so I thought this was the bands attempt at getting back on track. I was sadly mistaken. This album, to my amazement, got very good reviews at the time it was released. I just didn't see it. "Last Cup of Sorrow" was a decent song, as was "Ashes to Ashes", but other than that, I saw nothing but a collection of mediocre to weak songs, most of them being more on the weak side.

This was a disappointing end to a band that started off with a tremendous bang, with "The Real Thing", and "Angel Dust". Two remarkable albums. I wish I could say the band members moved onto better things, but if you call Mike Patton's insanely childish ramblings in his 17 other bands good music, all power to you.
