Faith No More - Angel Dust
Even before this band broke big with 'Epic' I was still a fan due to the album 'Introduce Yourself'. 'The Real Thing' came out around similar times that RHCP were getting notices for 'Mother's Milk' and bands such as Fishbone, Living Color and 24-7 Spyz were all peddling a funk vibe to rock asthetics. I went to see FNM twice on 'The Real thing' tour and they were immense but then something happened. I stopped listening to them. I caught a hit of the track 'Evidence' from a later album but was dissapointed with the album as a whole so I bypassed 'Angel Dust'.
I heard it for the first time 3 days ago. Yeah I know WTF! How damn good is this album? it is simultanenously radio friendly and genre bending at the same time. That's why music is still a huge passion of mine. It can still surprise, perplex and intoxicate. Superb, superb.
