Yes it was the album of the year!
The positive reviews for this album were arguably low. Faith no more is literally the greatest band ever. Why? who knows. Angel dust still remains their best effort ever put out. But yet King for a day, and Album of the year still showcased Mike's, and the band's great talent. Jim Martin leaving the band really made no difference, let's just say the more metal guitar driven sound was gone and the band still kept it heavy, yet improved their diverse styles of music. The only real difference of FNM in this album, is that it is less experimental than Angel dust such as king for a day was. Metal at most times (they are a metal band, but they varied genres) and the usual slow soul inspired songs per se. So let's just say that they just improved into better musicians since The Real Thing. You call yourself a Faith No More fan, then just buy ALL their albums. Even the ones with Chuck which were still great, well at least the band but Chuck had a unique voice. But hey, there's not many out there who are a Mike Patton right? The last three albums had awesome covers, Album of the year is only the genuis of Faith No More. Last cup of sorrow is such a classic song along with Stripsearch. BUY IT!.


Album of the Year Review
"Stripsearch" and "Last Cup of Sorrow" is a strong one-two punch that should be listened to at high volume. After listening to this album, I would have to say that songs two and three truly blew my mind, and the album as a whole was certainly worth adding to my collection of music, if only for those two cuts.


Not very impressed...
Thera are some nice, energetic songs, but it also has many fillers. The album is fine. The production sucks; apparently King For a Day. . . is their highest point in terms of sound. But if you like Faith No More and appreciate their work, you'll dig it.


And the grammy goes to...
Goes to show that with even such shaky melodic foundations, talented groups make it work. 3 1/2

Their last was marginally weakest of the Patton releases; dotted with potency but overall cynically simplistic and half-hearted. Let's hope the reunion can spark another valuable release and give modern mainstream rock the kick in the pants it needs.

10 years later so what, Under Rated
But not by the amazon reviewers they only review albums they love, look around everything is 4-and-a-half-stars. Horribly under rated. I guess it balances out music reviews in general, critics usually hate everything, I guess they have fun writing that way.
