I hadn't listened to this CD in a while, but cranked it up today on the way to and from work, and it slayed.  Such a phenomenal record. :coolio :hat

Their best one for sure. While I really enjoy the other 3 (now 4) Patton albums, Angel Dust is the one that stands the test of time the best for me. There has been periods where I have enjoyed The Real Thing or King For a Day slightly more, but at the end of the day, Angel Dust remains as awesome as it always was.

This was in my Top 50 Albums list. I fucking love this record. Everything's Ruined might be my favorite song. I love the bass and keyboard play, and Patton's vocal work. In fact, his vocal work on the entire album is just chalk full of creativity, and quite simply, just fun to listen to

Which reminds me, I really need to get on those deluxe re-releases when all the other bands putting out new albums dies down a little.

Perfect timing. I have been listening to them non stop all week.

Such an incredibly unique, versatile, and satisfying band. I have just been rotating back and forth between the real thing, Angel dust and king for a day. I can't pick a favorite, but angel dust is utterly incredible.

Hearing Midlife crisis is what originally got my interest, which led me to get angel dust and then from there I became a lifetime fan.

Angel Dust is a masterpiece. I love it how they reacted against the pop adoration they got with TRT with their most aggressive and sick record.

So damn good! I'm so glad I got to see them at Red Rocks last summer because I never got to back in the day.
Oh Jackie, always jumping to the most homoerotic possibility.

Can we call Faith No More a metal band?

If so, it's a perfect example now a metal band can be diverse within one record. We all know of Sgt. Pepper, Houses of the holy and stuff like that, where every song is its own genre. But this is one of the few instances where a metal band pulls of such a tremendous variety on one single album. That's something that's lacking in the metal world even to this day, I've gotta say.

I haven't listened to Album of the year a whole lot, but regardless, I love the song Last cup of sorrow.

Agreed. They manage to touch on a lot of different styles and sounds, often in the same song.  Very unique.  :hat

That's a big reason why I like them as a fusion junkie.

I just heard the song we care a lot for the first time. Shame on me for not checking out the Mosley stuff until now. This song is insanely addictive

Yeah, while I'm not really into the Mosley era, I love that song. It's fun to sing along to.  :biggrin:

I've never gotten into the first two albums. Yes, I've been pretty lazy.
