Faith no More

Angel Dust

Their best (to me anyway)

Review Score:

(10/10)
When I was a little guy, I was a Faith No More fan. I still am, and of their too short catalog, this is easily my favorite of the lot. While I had nothing against Chuck Mosely, I do think that Mike Patton was much better suited to front the band. His creativity and just all out weirdness are still, to this day, unmatched by anyone I can think of. The best part was that he did all of this without coming across as pretentious. Just check out Mr. Bungle (any of the three albums and you'll get an idea). True, this one is a little tougher for the average person to digest than "The Real Thing" and to me, that's the beauty of it all. Once you get a feel for the record, it will stick with you and you may never part ways with it.

If you're new to Faith No More and are reading this to decide whether are not to buy it, I'd say get "The Real Thing" first, then get this one. You'll at least be somewhat prepared. Then you'll want to go on to "King For a Day, Fool For a Lifetime" then "Album of the Year"...better yet, just get the "Who Cares a Lot?" Greatest hits collection and that should be enough to get you started.

Enough with my rambling. All I can say is that once you're introduced to the world of Mike Patton, you're in for one hell of a trip.
