Faith No More - The Real Thing (Deluxe) [2LP]
(180 Gram, gatefold)
Rhino Records/Slash 94776 825646094776 LP Alternative, Rock
Rhino Records celebrates the back-to-back classic albums that helped establish the band's vital and visceral musical legacy with a Deluxe Edition of THE REAL THING.
Like all bands who transcended their time to become cornerstones of an era, Faith No More sounded like nobody else. The group's commercial breakthrough came in 1989 with the release of THE REAL THING. It was the band's third album, but the first to feature the line-up of Mike Bordin (drums), Roddy Bottum (keyboards), Bill Gould (bass), Jim Martin (guitars), and Mike Patton (vocals).
The album was incredibly diverse, yet every song was linked by the band's own developing style. It peaked at #11 on the charts and was certified platinum, spawning the singles, ''From Out Of Nowhere'' and ''Falling To Pieces,'' as well as ''Epic,'' which was ubiquitous on radio and MTV.
The bonus disc puts a different spin on many of the album tracks with remixed versions of ''Epic'' and ''Falling To Pieces,'' as well as live performances of ''Surprise You're Dead,'' ''Underwater Love'' and the Black Sabbath classic ''War Pigs.'' The bonus disc also includes the b-sides ''Cowboy Song'' and ''The Grade.''
After extensive touring, the band returned in 1992 with ANGEL DUST. It climbed to #10 on the U.S. album charts and would later be recognized as one of the most influential releases of the era. The album swings between extremes - aggressive and disturbing, but also beautiful and soothing - showing off every facet of the band's quirky eloquence on such diverse tracks as ''Midlife Crisis,'' ''Jizzlobber,'' ''R.V.'' and ''Small Victory.''
Among the nine tracks featured on the bonus disc is a mix of ''Midlife Crisis'' by the band's longtime producer Matt Wallace, a trio of live recordings from a concert in Munich, Germany, as well as covers of the Dead Kennedys' ''Let's Lynch The Landlord'' and the band's unforgettable take on the Commodores' ''Easy.''
