Salute to everyone at THEPIT for taking the time for covering Faith No More's albums bringing light to all these. Great releases thanks

Very solid album, it sometimes doesn't get the kudos it deserves but it's dated quite well.

insane album... go back and listen again folks!

I saw them on this tour and it was such a great show. It was in ‘97 so I don’t remember much, but I do remember them opening up with Collision and another thing I remember is this one black security guard quickly turning his head when they started playing Easy. He seemed to be like, what the fuck?? After hearing the heavy shit they where playing before that song. 🤣

Mouth to Mouth is a awesome song, gets overlooked alot. Another great Faith No More album

Stripsearch is a gem! Love that Jon joined the band and left his mark in the band right away.

Yet another legendary band giving kudos to the mighty PronG who are the true legends 👊

Love this album .🤘🏻🎱🤘🏻 Paths of glory is a solid song for me.

"Helpless" is my absolute favorite FNM song!

Craziest night of my life on this tour, me and a friend I met online, we dropped acid and saw FNM live! On the way home we blasted this album, yelled out the car, threw beer bottles out the window, it's a miracle we didn't get arrested! Later that night at 3am, I got pulled over but played it cool and the cop let us go.. Little did he know we were tripping on acid, out of our minds! I will never in my life forget that night! I STILL get acid flashbacks listening to this album, always takes me back to that night! Absolute insanity!🤘

Stripsearch and Pristina are my two favourites but the whole album is fantastic.

Got it on vinyl yesterday 😃 excellent album. The cover of This Guy's In Love With You on the bonus tracks record is amazing!

Last cup of sorrow

How perfect that I bought this on vinyl at the exact same time this video premiered!

FNM we need a new album!

I was in a pretty gnarly place in my life when that album came out. I can't listen to it without the memories of that time... which a lot of music does.

This album doesn’t get the love it deserves so it was good to see this here. :)

This is all so tastefully done. Thank you!

Very interesting that Jon Hudson was the primary songwriter on "Stripsearch" as that's one of my all time favorite FNM songs.

These are great. Keep them coming!

Nice, Paths of Glory has become one of my favorite FNM songs, Pristina is the perfect closure fot the band, very unique album, and got 3 of the most solid "singles" by the band, Helpless almost was the fourth as i read.

This album kept me from dying inside & outside🙏😓❤

Really enjoying these vids

My favourite album so many memories listening to this and saw the show

One of my favorite albums this and King for a day and of course Angel dust

This was the only FNM tour I missed in the 90’s. I was broke as fk but what a great album. I also remember buying a Patton solo album around that time and laughing my ass off.

we really want another album, please we deserve it! yes we have 6 albums but 7 is a lucky number! #faithnomore

Still on of my favorite FNM albums, I've been listening to it just recently. I got to see them on that tour and it was amazing.

Saw them on this tour back in 98 Wolverhampton civic hall, great gig I had photographed bits of that gig and bumped into Bill and Roddy on the balcony they were really cool with us and we got photos too. love the album, as I do all their work. Can't believe it came out 25 years ago, fuck.

Great album. Angel Dust will always be my favorite but this one is up there.

Saw them on this tour and didn't get it at the time... Damnit!

Saw you guys at Nottingham Rock City with Prong on the Real Thing tour. Fucking awesome gig. Mike P got my friend back in after he’d been kicked out for stage diving. I also remember the drummer from Prong being a beast.

Got it the week it came out...Great album, has aged very well.

Ty

" Mike Patton writes really strong lyrics" - understatement of the year about album of the year.. Thanks, Roddy aka Captain Obvious

My favourite FNM album, Mouth to Mouth favourite track on it.

While not my favorite FNM album, I find myself coming back to some of these amazing songs more often than songs from their other albums

This album was actually my introduction to Faith No More, together with Live at Brixton

For me every FNM song is a gem. When's the next album coming out?

Respect to Freddy Roach for having such extensive knowledge on Faith No More.

'Not mountain lion...!' 😂 When they nail it, FNM are one of the best bands EVER. 👌 WE miss you guys... 🙇‍♂️ Time to bring it back home. ❣️

Underrated. Maybe I'd put it a tad under the previous two masterpieces ( K.F.A.D. is to me the other face of Angel Dust, both these are two of my favourite records from the '90s) but still a great album.

Finding out metallica fans dont like faith no more speaks so much about their followers, lol.

Its hard for this album to get the praise it deserves cuz it waS released so soon after the classic King for a day! Which could very well be the greatest L.P. of alltime!!

i really love the side A of the album , but for some reason i never get into the whole side B

My god they toured with Kyuss??

Puffy, no fond words on opening for Billy Idol? Hehe

How come Patton isn’t in any of these videos?

We still got no signals of Mike Patton?? 😥

how many questions did he ask?

Why do I have this feeling Mike is never coming back? Like he’s gonna pull a Captain Beefheart and retire from music forever :,(

Cuckoo for caca is for real FNM heaviest tune.. that fakking bass sound is summoning some evil spirits incl.Patton

Collision. Paths of Glory & Home Sick Home are the only Songs i skip...the rest of the Album is Amazing!

It always feels like Patton ready to leave FNM for good. Bordin depressed, Gould like whatever, Bottum kind of distant. Idk

That's amazing they're creating it and not hearing it. Lol

I was a hardcore FNM fan by the time this album came out and I so wanted it to be as great as the two records that had directly preceded it. But even then it was oddly disappointing. I don’t know why exactly, if it’s the production, the songwriting or Jon Hudson’s rather uninspired guitar work, but every song seemed to be lacking something. Even “ashes to ashes” seems somewhat vapid in the chorus. So much reverb, and the guitar is only downstrokes. It seems like something’s missing or not quite finished. That wasn’t the super creative band that had always paid so much attention to detail. Maybe they were just burnt out by then. Unfortunately, I cared even less for “sol invictus”. Doesn’t take anything away from their most glorious moments, though, which are still unparalleled by any band.

Solid album, but their worst imo. I really like Ashes to ashes, Mouth to mouth, Helpless, and Last cup of sorrow
