Album Notes
Faith No More: Michael Patton (vocals); Jim Martin (guitar); Roddy Bottum (keyboards); Bill Gould (bass); Mike Bordin (drums).
Engineers: Matt Wallace, Jim "Watts" Vereecke, Craig Doubet.
Up until Faith No More's third release, 1989's THE REAL THING, the San Francisco quintet was considered too eccentric for rock's mainstream. Unlike other bands of the era, FNM refused to be limited to just one musical style--the group was indeed heavy, but it also touched upon many other styles (alternative, rap, Middle Eastern, punk, funk, jazz, etc.). But prior to the writing and recording of the album, the band parted ways with its longtime singer, Chuck Mosely, and hired newcomer Mike Patton.
Unlike his predecessor, Patton was a very talented and versatile vocalist who could easily adapt to any of the different musical styles his new bandmates threw at him. While it took a few months for sales to crest, THE REAL THING went on to become the group's much sought-after commercial breakthrough. The rap-metal anthem "Epic" was a surprise Top-10 smash (pushing the album to multi-platinum status), while such other tracks as "From Out of Nowhere," "Falling to Pieces," "Zombie Eaters," and "Underwater Love" were just as exceptional. Although the band had been waiting years for mainstream success, FNM decided to challenge its newly acquired pop audience with its next release.

    This album was the first Faith No More album to feature Mike Patton as the frontman - his deep and incredible voice together with the musical talent of Jim Martin, Roddy Bottom, Bill Gould and Mike Bordin made for the first of several incredible albums!
    There is not a track amongst the 11 featured on this CD, that I do not like. Epic became the standout track from this album receiving heavy air play, and will always be known on MTV as that video with the flopping fish out of water at the end! The negative part about this being there are so many other superb songs on this album that often get overlooked!
    The title track - the Real Thing - starts off slow, with lyrics almost at a whisper, then comes alive with Pattons strong vocals almost rapping their way through the chorus. Indeed Faith No More is one of the first bands to be credited with the fusion of Metal and rap.
    Falling to Pieces is also a personal favorite that I will never tire of, and look out for probably one of the best versions of War Pigs - the Classic Black Sabbath track! The Morning After is a rich and powerful track and From Out of Nowhere just rocks!! Zombie Eaters is another song that takes Patton from soft melodic singing to just plain loud!!
    This album is another personal all time favorite...in fact this guide has just reminded me just how much I love it and need to upload it to my shuffle!!
