I would put it just behind Angel Dust. There’s something deeply sinister about both of them and Album of the Year sounds like the whole band collectively got a terminal disease and is giving their bizarre version of a last goodbye.

This thread got me to listen to Angel Dust again and holy poo poo this is a phenomenal album. I’ve listened to it twice today without ever wanting to skip a track.

If the new album is even a fraction as good I’ll be happy.

Angel Dust owned, Album of the Year owned, listened to King For A Day once and heard no keyboards so I haven't listened to it since.

Last Cup of Sorrow is my favorite song in the world since I was 13

Right, it was over a decade ago was that the one that had the least amount? I remember one having no keyboards or very few and I didn't like it.

I don't know how anyone can dislike songs like "Star AD" or "Just a man" or "Evidence", but then again I just love albums that switch genres around at a whim.

The reason for no keyboards was because something happened to Roddy right?

Crackerman
Jun 23, 2005

Last to Know is a really good song, I wish it was switched with Just a Man as last track on the album.

Last Cup of Sorrow and Ashes to Ashes are both brilliant and lend themselves to that “this is our last album, goodbye forever” feel of Album of the Year. I guess that’s redundant now, but still.

Jizzlobber remains one of the most viscerally frightening songs I’ve ever heard.

Both had a few good songs, but I never cared for the last two albums all that much otherwise. Compared to Angel Dust it seemed like a step backward by making the songs more straightforward, and outside the ones that are takes on specific genres like Evidence or Stripsearch, it's mostly just plain alt-rock.

I saw them play Jizzlobber live in '92 and Mike introduced the song as a Allman Brothers cover. The predominately southern crowd cheered only to have the fingers in the ears minutes later. Hah! No one fucks with crowd better than Mike Patton or G.G. Allin.

I've been watching a lot of old Mr. Bungle concerts and man I wish I was actually born and old enough to go to them. Mike is just amazing even as a 18 year old punk

I know that a Mr. Bungle reunion is never going to happen even though Mike has lighten up on the idea of doing it since he's cool with Trey now, but I wish for the new Faith No More album there was just one track that was a bunch of random cover songs or the Thunderball theme.

Also Dunn needs to release that Mr. Bungle book that he said he thought of doing.

I love any early 90s MTV appearance by Faith No More because Mike just spends most of his time loving with the hosts and crowd

I saw them when Disco Volante came out and on the last tour they did with System of a Down and some other lovely nu-metal acts. The DV tour they did a bunch of old hardcore songs like Loss For Words and Drug Me, which was hilarious.

It probably has more to do with all the members being scattered across the world at this point.

I could barely sit through that, it was so awful to me. That said, I thought the same thing of 'Motherfucker' when I heard the live version of it and ended up really liking the studio version. Hopefully this one will shine with some studio polish.

You guys ready to hear a satanic song?
Sounds like a mix between King for a day and Album of the Year with some Tomahawk thrown in. It sounds pretty good for a basic rock song.

I'm still nervous as all hell because I really don't want this album to suck. The Real Thing, Angel Dust, King for a Day, Album of the Year and a lot of Patton's other works straight up defined my musical tastes in the early to late 2000's. I really hope this album isn't just another lesson in leaving sleeping dogs lie. A lesson that many bands failed to learn.

Nice and heavy. I love it. This one doesn't need any time to grow on me.

I like the use of Patton's voice as a sample, especially toward the end where it's very noticeable. This one sounds like it's just an inch away from delving into pure experimental noise, but it holds itself in just enough to keep that from happening. It's unstable and heavy. Love it so far.

i definitely don't think it'll suck but it might be a few years too late, and none of the guys in the band are coming off of projects that fill me with confidence

i got some angel dust vibes from the outtro of superhero, albeit angel dust as played by 50something year olds. personally i wouldn't have minded if they'd dumped most of the overt "rockers" for this record, those kind of songs are mostly my least favorites off KFAD and AOTY. helpless, stripsearch, those are my jams

Definitely. Their heavier stuff isn't the same without Jim Martin.
