I'm quite the Patton fan, and Angel Dust is of no exception. Love the bass on the album as well, that's always one of my favourite elements of Faith No More's albums, and the guitar and piano have some great moments as well. Favourite track has to be ****lobber for the chopsticks piano in the beginning and the Fantomas reminiscent vocals during the chorus and the dissonant close. I could have done without Be Aggressive but that's my only complaint really, apart from the satiric RV (which has a nice enough backtracking to enjoy.)
Dirt is pretty good and it's my favourite Alice in Chains album, but it doesn't come anywhere near to Angel Dust.
Alice in Chains -1
Faith No More -4
