There's less 'metal' in the mix of both due to Big Jim's subsequent departure from the band after Angel Dust but both albums are solid. King for a Day Fool for a Lifetime is more varied with a lot more slower tracks including a couple of crooners. But then it's got tracks like Ricochet and Gentle Art of Making Enemies which are f*cking great. Album of the Year is more of a straight ahead rock disc. There are no real standouts but there are no weak tracks either, very solid. Even if the band was being facetious with the title, there are plenty of people (myself included) who do consider it to be the rock album of 1997 especially in terms of mainstream releases. |

Really, you think it's better than say, OK Computer? |
OK Computer sucks and is probably the second worst Radiohead after "Pablo Honey"

There only good song is the War Pigs cover. The vocals are too high pitched and wimpy and I don't know why some people consider them a metal band.
|
I don't consider them a metal band by any stretch of the imagination. "The Real Thing" is really the only album that features that vocal styling. And to be honest, whenever I listen to "The Real Thing", I skip the cover of "War Pigs". When you've seen as many bands cover that ****in' song as I have, enough is enough.

Also - J;zzlobber is f*cking metal. In every sense of the words hehehe |
I don't know. In my opinion, a band that exhibits traces of Metal in certain songs, shouldn't be considered a Metal band. To me, that's pigeonholing. It's that when I think of Metal, and I think of Faith No More, it just doesn't click. I will admit that certain songs, like "Caffeine" and "Malpractice" are certainly heavy as hell, but even if you were to look at another Patton band like Mr. Bungle, who exhibited a lot more Metal influence in their work, would you call them a Metal band? To me Faith No More, overall, is a Rock band, and a damn good one, too.

^Well said, I can definitely agree with that.

I'm kind of confused as to why you'd say Bungle had more of metal side than FNM I have to say. It was really only their first album that had much metal going on at all. |
