Free Music Review: The Album that Made me Like Music
Hit: 5 Stars
This album really turned me on to what music could be after the horrors of most popular 80s music. Yeah, I was a pretty little kid in the 80s, but I knew I didn't like what I heard coming out of most radios a majority of the time. My brother had some FNM (and a lot of other bands that no one else I knew had ever heard of) and these vocals really stuck with me. In high school, I had a cassette of this and Mr. Bungle and literally played them until they came apart-- I'm still not sick of either. It's so free of "influences of the time" that it continues to seem new and truly "alternative." It's a unique sound as all of Patton's endeavors seem to be.
The Real Thing Poster
Faith No More are virtually impossible to categorize; they blend metal and rap elements in a mix that becomes seamless on The Real Thing, whose hit single, "Epic," is a perfect combination of these disparate genres. Other high points are the thrashy "Surprise! You're Dead!," an excellent cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," the funk-layered-with-keyboards "Falling to Pieces," and the soft but spooky "Zombie Eaters." With the addition of vocalist Mike Patton, the band secured a highly talented frontman and skilled lyricist. The Real Thing is one of those rare albums that is impossible to quantify but astoundingly good. More accessible than the follow-up Angel Dust, it's also the first album new Faith No More listeners should get. --Genevieve WilliamsAlternative Rock Music CDs
