Prong - 1
FNM - 3
I actually think the metal elements in Angel Dust are quite noticeable.

Me too. It's actually pretty refreshing to hear a metal album that can be as metal as it feels like at any given moment, and isn't restricted by even the vaguest notions of genre. It gives me hope that, even if metal has reached it's high water mark, at least it can continue in other kinds of music.

I really love both albums, and will have to give them both some more attention before I vote. It's hard to vote, because some of the songs on The Cleansing are just devastating, but Angel Dust is just so strong through out.

I'm going to listen to the Cleansing a bit after, have only heard it once and remember jack shit about it.

I'm going to go with Faith No More on this one. I've never been a Prong fan and I've tried The Cleansing before back when I was trying to get into the band but it just didn't fly and time has not changed my mind at all.

Faith No More - 4
Prong - 1

Yeah, I wouldn't even describe it as having "metal elements". It's a metal album with a few non-metal elements.

The Cleansing is a very good album, I need to re-listen to Prong again, they're real man's metal band, nothing sissy about this bunch This stuff pummels and takes no prisoners. As Lopocalypse said "Snap Your Fingers..." is a great song with a big Killing Joke influence in it. The problem is though, that Angel Dust is one of the great albums of the 1990s in terms of creativity, its a shame that this Prong album has been matched against it.

Faith No More -5
Prong -1

That Prong album is really good, but like it's been said, it's hard for me to go against FNM and it's kind of an uphill battle for Cleansing.

Faith No More -6
Prong -1

Prong aren't coming back here so its 6-1 and Faith No More go on to the final round where they face White Zombie.

Faith No More Angel Dust 1992


Versus

White Zombie Astrocreep 2000 1995

You know. I can still listen to that White Zombie album to this day. It is just a fun carnival ride of an alt-metal record. It has great elements of theatrics and reminds me of some b-horror greatness. Has such a charm to it still for me. One of my favorite releases of the 90's.

As I say, I think FNM are overrated, yeah, they had a few moments here and there, but why they are treated like gods is beyond me.

So I have to go with White Zombie on this one. Has so many elements I love. It is what I think Rob Zombie is trying to do with his movies.... but done right. It is fun, and at the same time heavy.

White Zombie -1
FNM - 0

Once again, an easy choice. Astro-Creep has a few good songs on but it's one of those albums that just goes on and on for far too long with far too much filler, not to mention it frequently comes off as a poor man's Ministry. I've owned it since it came out and only managed to sit through it in its entirety a handful of times. Angel Dust by contrast tastes great, no filler. And it's definitely its own animal.

White Zombie -1
FNM - 1
