I’m a music fan, and I like any kind of music as long as it is done well. When I’m in the mood for metal I often reach for Faith No More’s Angel Dust. 14 highly creative, interesting tracks. If you are young and like the Chili Peppers, FNM is the other band who blended metal, rap and funk in the late eighties and early nineties. More metal, less rap and definitely more wierd. The other FNM record worth owning is The Real Thing, which contains the big hit Epic.

There are better tracks on Angel Dust, but this one is remarkable in that it showcases the truly brilliant Mike Patton taking years off his vocal career in the service of one song. It is actually very hard to not feel a twinge of empathy for him as he hits the most painful notes. Parental guidance is advised for this one.
