This album is an influential masterpiece
I remember getting deeper into more Metal and I got into Faith No More. This album is probably one of the best alternative works ever released. This album influenced a lot of modern metal and it’s just crazy how an album as experimental as this got to sell 2.5 million copies. I think this album is great due to its experimentation with multiple genres and Patton’s voice which is impressive (the guy has 6 octaves). You have the iconic alternative rock hit “Midlife Crisis” but you also have weird heavy songs like the dark “Jizzlobber” and the crazy “Malpractice”. You have the funky metal “Everything’s Ruined” and the dancey rock “A Small Victory”. It’s just an album that was ahead of its own time, sure in 1992 you had Alice In Chains releasing Dirt or Stone Temple Pilots releasing Core but this album is just crazily good and it influenced a LOT of modern music.
