Edited 12 years agoFaith No More were always antagonistic. Angel Dust followed 1989's The Real Thing with like drunk hillbilly pig fondling neighbour gatecrashing a Royal Wedding. Musically The Real Thing was puerile, sickeningly sweet with nasal vocals which was lapped up by the MTV heads and went platinum yada yada yada. Angel Dust was harder hitting, darker, more macabre, whimsical, was hardcore, more mature and laced with plenty of swerves and deviations offering genre changes from track to track whilst maintaining a melodic sensibility and balance. As such Angel Dust is a perfect mix of genuine creativity and pop musicality, a combination which is rare and often hard to pull off with similar success.
In 1992 there were many alternative rock bands, many anti-rock star cliques - most notably the bands emanating from the north west of America at the time - but Faith No More's creativity and vision meant that they were truly peerless for the short period from 1992-1995.
Angel Dust spawned a number of singles, Midlife Crisis, Everything's Ruined, A Small Victory (and Small Victory Youth Remixes) and in late 1992 Faith No More release I'm Easy which was then added to Angel Dust in their 1993 reissue.
In 1992 Kerrang infamously awarded Angel Dust 3/5 in their review but later declared that the album "grows on you like mould" also recanting their intial review in the Kerrang! Direktory of Heavy Metal (1993) and awarded it 5/5 retrospectively and in 2003 Kerrang placed Angel Dust as number one of a list of the most influential albums of all time.
Not the most immediate Faith No More album, clearly but not a difficult album or an "art" record either. Angel Dust is Faith No More at their very best, creating a benchmark that the band themselves failed to meet again and influencing a whole generation of poor clones in the Nu Metal era to the chigrin of singer Mike Patton.
This is not only my favourite Faith No More album or my favourite of the 90's. it has stood the test of time and is probably my all time favourite record.
