Angel Dust by Faith No More (CD, Jun-1992, Slash)

This was the first FNM album I ever purchased....and it made me a huge and lifelong fan...a fan that had to track down their other offerings...none of which have dissapointed!
Extremely different to its predecessors, Angel Dust contains 13 eclectic tracks that rock, and indeed work, drawing in lifelong fans if not the critics!!
Faith No More is a band that has never been afraid to be different, indeed, it can be hard to place them in any one genre of music, though they are often credited with being the Godfathers of the Metal / /Rap movement. In this album they offer 13 tracks, with one being as different from the next!
Fo me standouts include - Small Victory which became a cult hit in the UK where I lived at the time, Midlife Crisis also rocked with a heavy rap edge on Pattons vocals and Be Aggressive, Smaller and Smaller and Everything's Ruined also became personal favorites; this album however also included tracks that were not afraid to be 'out there' and different such as RV which Patton pretty much talks his way through....weird...but it works!!
I love this album and though it may not be mainstream...I will always enjoy its tracks...this is a band that does not play up to the critics and in producing something that is musically diverse...in my opinion, they have produced a masterpiece that will always have its fans, especially me!!
