The two pre-released tracks of course, but I didn't have a playlist in front of me, so I can't really say. Plus, I'm at work, so it was kind of more background than anything. I'll have a better grasp of it later on. I have a really powerful system at home, so I can crank it and feel it more. This is usually my process with new stuff. First cursory listen at work, then crank it like a live concert at home. My neighbors hate me.

An easy 10/10 from me for the album. I was excited as f*ck when the band announced the new album, and it was eagerly waiting to hear at least a few tracks from it before it was released. Motherf*cker is one of my favorites. |

Me too. Also, Cone of Shame and Matador. I need a few more listens though to really pin down my favorites, as they're all that good.

Were you two the same as I was when the album was even announced before anything new was heard, and weren't even a little bit nervous that a new album from these guys after so f*cking long wouldn't be worth it? Because I wasn't nervous at all. I knew it'd be well worth it. Faith No More has never been that band for me where I got nervous or thought I'd be let down by an album. Pretty consistent band. And, damn. Patton still writes masterful songs and those vocals never get weak or tired with him aging throughout the years.
Matador is where it's at for me. That song rules. And I know what you mean with Rise And Fall. It's like, holy sh*t! |

Really digging the album. Superhero and Separation Anxiety were the tracks that really stood out to me.
All in all, I think it's a great addition to their discog, and stays true to their signature sound while still being a pretty unique record. |

I finally made time to listen to the new FNM album. While I am thrilled they are making new music again, I am honestly disappointed. I feel like there is something missing. One issue for me is a lot of the songs have Mike Patton singing so many low notes, instead of the higher range he is known for. It is a different sound, and while not terrible, it was not what I was expecting. Matador is the closest to what I consider the vocal sound I am talking about. Mother****er surprisingly was my favorite song. Usually with a title like that, it is just a gimmick song with little substance but I am a fan of it, and it exceeded my expectations. It actually kind of reminds me of a mix of Butthole Surfers "Pepper".
