FAITH NO MORE "ANGEL DUST"
This was the album that was going to make or break Faith No More. After the enormous critical and popular success of “The Real Thing”, they could have easily delivered more of the same, writing another “Epic” and making everyone happy. Instead, they delivered a heavy, complex, fuck you of an album that confused the hell out of everyone at the time. Only now in retrospect is it considered one of the most influential albums of the 90’s by many in the music industry.
Though it holds only a handful of my absolute favorite Faith No More tracks, there’s a certain insane energy to it all that makes it a joy to listen to again and again (except the 1 note joke of a song “Be Aggressive” which I skip every time).
And now I’m off to see them perform for the first time in the US for more than 12 years tonight. I can’t wait!!!
STANDOUT TRACKS: “Caffine”, “Midlife Crisis”, “Smaller and Smaller”
