Customer Reviews
Great album!!
I can say this album does not!! I just recently got into Faith No More, and have found them to be nothing short of incredible!!! I bought the album on March 12th, it arrived today on the 15th!!
This album has pretty much all their big hits, and is great for the fairly new and/or casual fans. Normally, Greatest Hits albums come up short. Stand-out tracks include: "We Care A Lot" "Epic" "Falling to Peices" "Cowboy Song" and "Midlife Crisis". The band also did an awesome job covering the Sabbath classic "War Pigs"!
Overall, a great album and highly recommended!.
Freakin Awesome!
I immediately went straight to the store and bought myself a copy. When I heard this album at my friends house a few years back I was just in awe. Before I heard it the only sond I'd known from them was epic . This album is a "buffet"(i know that sounds corny) of what they have to offer. You get everything from punk, funk, rock, and even some electronicish music. I especially liked the song evidence. What a smooth song that is. How many kids were a result of that one? Anyways, If you're familiar with faith no more or not, get this album. I myself am now a huge fan of any Mike Patton project.
Serious Potential
it's a greatest hit collection. First off the only reason I gave this album only 4 stars 4 one reason and one reason only. if I were to give a greatest hits collection 5 stars them meaning of 5 stars from me would be lessened.
This is the only FNM album I have and I got it about 2 weeks ago. B4 this album I had downloaded Epic and Midlife Crisis. I thought they were pretty tyte so I got this album only because it was the only FNM album the store had. I was looking for Angel Dust but oh well.
When I got it I listened instantly and at first I was a little dissapointed. The only tracks I had herd on the radio were Epic, and Last Cup of Sorrow. I picked it up the next day gave it another try and I guess like overnight I had become an FNM fan. I have listened to this album everyday since I got it, as as a matter of fact im listening to The Perfect Crime right now.
I read through the cd booklet and I was quite shocked at what I read. I realized what this band would do to not become sell outs. They had the chance to follow up The Real Thing with probibly a multi platinum master piece. And a master piece it was but not multi platinum. Only because of the Album name. "Angel Dust", A beautiful name but a terrible drug. They could have named it anything else no matter how stupid like Doorknob, or Throat Lump, or just something and retarted and it would have sold millions. but with a name like Angel Dust, many parents would refuse for thier children to have such a record. Brilliant and Retarted at the same time. They achieved thier goal of not being sell outs but didn't even recieve enough money to be able to feul a marijuana habit. Personally I have always thought if you are givin the chance to make tons of money, and be even more famous as a band and remembered longer, to accept that oppurtunity.
But what surprised me is how huge of a band they were and probibly haven't even sold 10 million albums yet. I have herd about them long ago adn expexted them to have you know, like have 2 number 1 albums. sold 15 million in U. S. alone. all that stuff. I believe they were like #52 on VH1's best rock artists or something like that. next to the Sex Pistols they are probibly the best non sell out band ever. I always thought they were huge until i got this album.
Now about the album, fabulous. We Care A Lot, is a fuuny, clever, catchy song, that gets stuck in your head the first time u here it. Epic, is one of the best songs from the eighties, and one of the best music videos ever. Falling to Pieces is my personal favorite, great vocal preformance form Patton. War Pigs, is just as good as the Sabbath original. The Cowboy Song, is tight. Midlife Crisis is a classic, An amazing song. A Small Victory is different than any other FNM song cool. Be Aggresive is awesome and up there with NIN's Closer for perverted rock songs. Evidence, yyou know I take it back This is the oddball of the FNM collection. Last Cup of Sorrow, CRAZY!, The Perfect Crime, great bass, great song, kinda sounds more like the talking heads instead of FNM.
I want to get Angel Dust next, but this is good 4 getting into FNM.
