This is definitely an album you need to listen to more than once, it will definitely grow on you, even the songs you didn't like first listen. There are a lot of subtleties you miss the first go round.
The ugly stuff is ugly by design, that kind of is the the beauty behind it, you are supposed to feel uncomfortable, so I guess it did it’s job for you guys
Great stuff guys, thoroughly enjoyed. Love Faith No More, one of my fave bands, even though alot of the heavy stuff isn't my bag. I think they excel at every genre they try. If you had a room full of fans of each musical genre and put on a FNM record, they'd probably love the song that best fits them although not necessarily the others. 'Album Of The Year' is also great stuff for the most part. Hope you both, and the family, are well.
