This is probably gonna sound patronizing as all hell -- and I don't intend it to -- but I'm *incredibly* impressed with how sophisticated your reactions were, given that you aren't a musician, don't have any prior experience with this band, and are unsure about some of the nomenclature (the fact that you identified the "slappy" quality of the slap bass without a visual reference as to how that sound is produced was especially remarkable). At your age, I'd been a fan of this band for a few years and was in a band myself, and I'm positive my initial reaction to this album would not have been half as eloquently put. Keep broadening your horizons -- the appreciation of music is a reward in itself!

"Caffeine," "Everything's Ruined," and "Kindergarten" are the highlights for me on this album. So cool to see you reacting to this masterpiece. One of my all time favorite records from high school in the 90s all the way to present day now. It always bothered me how Faith No More and Mike Patton are always remembered ONLY for that one song - "Epic." (from "The Real Thing) - which, imo, is the weakest song in their entire catalogue and there's FIVE other records of other, and better material. It's like those popular kids in school when CD's were still a thing, and people would spend 15 bucks for a single song or two songs that were on the radio or MTV (yes, MTV played music once upon a time), and I never understood the point of that. I always bought albums for the sake of what WASN'T on the radio.

One of the benefits of being an old fart is that I bought this album the day it came out. I was a fan of their previous records, but I wasn't expecting the absolute god-tier level of genius of Angel Dust. Me and my friend Carl listened to the whole thing is complete silence and, when it finished and without saying a single word, put it straight on again. We listened to it again in complete silence and, by the end of the second full listen, realised that we'd just heard one of the greatest albums of all time.

An absolute perfect album from start to end, one of the greatest album ever, not only in Faith No More's history but in whole music history either. Revolutionary, iconic, legendary!

One of the highly influential albums that defined the sound/scene of the alternative/metal music throughout the nineties or in other words your favorite band's favorite band. A rollercoaster of awesome genre bending yet approachable music that still rocks today. Props for checking it out 👌

It was really fun to watch someone go through this album for the first time. my favorite part was the seeming confusion about "Be Aggressive", the most straightforward song on the whole album. It was a very wholesome segment in the video :)

Thing with FNM music is, it takes a few listens to really sink in. But once it does, it's like a drug. Best Art Rock band ever. Also your favorite song is my favorite song of theirs as well. Kindergarten really showcases FNM's strengths. Though it's incredibly difficult to pick up a favorite song from their material as there are so many exquisite tunes to choose from.

Awesome! Now along with this, do more Faith No More and then Incubus' "Enjoy Incubus", 'Fungus Amongus", and S.C.I.E.N.C.E". Also, Bjork has a great album called Medúlla, which features music made up almost entirely of vocalizations done by herself, Mike Patton, beatboxer Rahzel, and others. Also, Mike Patton' s other projects like Tomahawk, Fantomas, Lovage, and Mike Patton Vs. The X-Ecutioners.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm definitely planning on some Incubus real soon! And I've actually heard Medulla, I'll admit it's not my favorite Bjork record simply for how out there it is with its sound and experimentation but I'll have to give it another listen now. I had no idea Mike Patton featured on it?!?! Man he's involved with everything haha :D

I love to see people's reactions to this masterpiece from Faith No More. Angel Dust has been voted a few times as the most influencial alt metal album ever. King For a Day Fool For a Lifetime is also a masterpiece. Album.of The Year too. The albums before Angel Dust is a stellar record too, The Real Thing. I loved hearing your thoughts on these pretty strange songs. 😊

Sweet! As a big FNM fan, I can give you some context for some moments you questioned on this album. The lyrics of “Be Aggressive” was written by keyboardist Roddy Bottum, who later came out as gay. It was originally meant as a prank on Patton, to see how comfortable he was singing extremely homoerotic lyrics. Bottum was probably very surprised when Patton gave the track a full-throated effort (ba-dum tssh!), and so it wound up on the album. Also, the last two tracks were covers, which explains their different tone from the rest of the album. The next time you want to visit the wild musical world of Mike Patton, I recommend the album “The Director’s Cut” by Fantômas. The band is a supergroup which brings together members of Mr. Bungle, Slayer, and the Melvins. Moreover, all of the tracks are covers of famous movie themes, and they’re all extremely wacky. I think you would certainly enjoy it.

I'm not usually massively into you tube blogger reviews... But I have to say that I really enjoyed this review of one of my most favourite Faith No More albums of all time, some may say arguably their best. I liked the way you described the sounds and feel and tone of the tracks and as your first listen I found it fascinating and agreeable. Thanks Molly! You should definitely delve Into their discography you've a lot to look forward to... 😉👍 I was surprised you didn't recognise the Lionel Ritchie cover 'Easy'.

So far you have played about five of my all time favorite albums and bands. Faith no more, Type O Negative, Pearl Jam, Mr Bungle, Deftones, and Fear Factory are a few favorite bands, and albums. I have to listen! 😊 I wore this cd out and have listened to it hundreds of times over the years. In fact, faith no more and fear factory were my favorite bands through the nineties. Have you done any Opeth reactions? If so o recommend one of the first five. The latter albums are all amazing too but those first five are classics. In fact I like the first four even better than black water park. 🤘🤘🤘 I would be up for some death metal reactions, Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, Gorguts, Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Death, Cryptopsy, asphyxiation, Obscura, Beyond Creation, Immolation, The Faceless, or Archspire. These are a few of my favorites! I’m Also a huge Bjork fan, and Radiohead fan. I’m watching those next. 🤘🤘🤘
