Faith No More - Angel Dust

[NAD]

Needs its own thread. Masterwork, period. Received it from me Grandma on my 13th birthday some 12 years ago, still sounds extremely new and relevant. Disucss. :Spin:

 

[Paul Stand-Up Guy]

Not much to discuss.

Easily the best album in the world ever. Fact.

I got it when I was 13 too, I've since had to buy it again because I listened to it so much the tape broke.

Paul.

 

[Demonspell]

Write it a thousand times!

 

[NAD]

Kindergarten has the BEST. BASS SOLO. EVAR.

I have probably 20 CDs in my collection that deserve 10/10, but this is one of the probably 3 or 4 that would deserve an 11/10, if my amp cranked that high.

 

[J.]

Certainly better than The Real Thing, which I thought was pretty damn good.

I always liked the song A Small Victory for some reason. Knda cheesy, but it just sounded cool, mainly because Patton is so diverse. And I think the cheerleader chant in Be Aggressive kicks mucho bootay.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Been listening to this a good 4 years. I really like "Mid-Life Crisis" (isn't that track 3?) and track 5, whatever that is.

 

[Krilons Resa]

ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME................................:hotjump:

 

[Hulk Hogan]

Everything has been said.

My favourite songs would be Kindergarten and Midlife Crisis.

 

[dill_the_devil]

I preferred King For A Day...

*tied blindfold around own head, places hand behind back, whistles national anthem*

 

[NAD]

You're insane.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Undeniably so, since I spent an inordinate amount of time conversing via the internet with the likes of you, but does that invalidate my opinion?

 

[NAD]

Hahahahaha...

I haven't heard King For A Day for many years, I lent it to a friend indefinitely because it wasn't Angel Dust and he lost it long ago (probably search the used bin one of these days). I do think Album of the Year is nearly as good as Angel Dust though, damn shame they called it quits right afterwards.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Yeah, Album Of The Year was brilliant... did you get the feeling from the lyrics that AoTY was a sort of concept album for Mike Patton, concerning how much he hated the band and wanted to get out? I kinda did, but I can't be arsed to elaborate right now... But King For A Day still rules... I mean, Digging The Grave, The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies, Ugly In The Morning, Cuckoo For Caca - top tunes, all.

 

[NAD]

Never thought of it that way, might have to read the lyrics for a change now...

 

[Demonspell]

I don't think either King or AOTY is in the same league as Angel Dust, both are largely hit or miss though there are enough moments of their idiosyncratic brilliance on both that the better half of both would in fact rival AD...

 

[Krilons Resa]

KIng, Angel, and Real Thing are all STELLAR albums imho. I still haven't given AoTY enough listens though to fully appreciate it.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

"Angel Dust" is an album I've been curious about but always afraid to risk 15 bucks on it.

 

[NAD]

I can't see why any open-minded music fan would not enjoy the album, it is truly marvelous. Here it is for well under $5:

Wow. You'll love it.

 

[Nate The Great]

Angel Dust is a timeless masterpiece.
