ομοιομορφία στις ηλικίες του κοινού αμα πας σε κανα λαηβ που όπως λένε θα κάνουν… αυτοί που είναι στην ηλικία των 25-35 περίπου θα παθαίνουν/παθαίνουμε ομαδικά εγκεφαλικά.
Angel Dust και King for a Day τα λατρεμενα,αλλα το King ειναι ο King.
Angel Dust. Όλα από το The Real Thing και μετά είναι δισκάρες αλλά το Angel Dust είναι το αποκορύφωμά τους. Τρομερή παραγωγή, τρομερά κομμάτια, τρομερή απόδοση!!!
You’re perfect yes it’s true
But without me you are only you!!!
Angel Dust για να είμαι ειληκρινής το μόνο που έχω τσεκάρει:-s:!:
Βασικά “Angel Dust” μαζί με “King For A Day…”. Και τα δύο είναι δισκάρες, ενώ από κοντά και το υποτιμημένο “Album Of The Year”.
Μάλλον King με ελάχιστη διαφορά από Angel Dust.
When it comes to my favorite all-time Faith No More album, it’s neck-and-neck between this one and Angel Dust. While I would possibly concede that Angel Dust is probably the more important, and possibly “better” (I put that in quotes because there are many meanings in this case, and I don’t have the energy to list them all) LP overall, King for a Day… is the one I’m pretty sure I would take with me to the desert island if I was only allowed one Faith No More record. As with their other albums, this one was the soundtrack to my life for a good two years. I could go on forever. Eh.
Oh, I should mention, Jim Martin was gone for good. He was replaced in the studio by Trey Spruance, Mr. Bungle’s guitar player. And he is good. Real good.
“Get Out” - With individual credit being offered in the liner notes, we noticed that this was written solely by Patton, only the second FNM song he wrote on his own (the first was “Malpractice”). If we needed any more reason to love this haymaker of an opening track, that was it. The first line was perfect for this record, especially considering the reportedly fragile state of the band: “What if there’s no more fun to have?” Just pure madness, and it would foreshadow the themes of alienation and doubt that run through every song on the record.
“Ricochet” - I have always considered this one of my favorite FNM songs (that’s becoming a long list, I know). This is also one of the many songs on the album that references drinking: “All of this thick time without you/ Has made me so thick and drunk.” I’m always careful to not read too much into the lyrics on their records, but it’s a reoccurring theme on this one. The animosity and vengeance that sprawls out of this song makes it one of the best tracks ever to listen to when you’re pissed at someone.
“Evidence” - The smooth and sultry single that somehow never seemed too out of place to me. Plus, the video assuaged any fears that they were taking themselves too seriously. A good song with a great chorus.
“The Gentle Art of Making Enemies” - Where we find Patton really outdoing himself. This song is both melodic and brash, with a really catchy chorus and verses that feature some great, great lines. Both “happy birthday, fucker” and “if I tighten up my hole/ you may never see the light again” are ingrained in my brain forever.
“Star A.D.” - This is a bit like “Evidence,” in that it’s got that sort of slinky feel to it. There’s horns, or more likely synth horns played by Roddy, and it almost feels like a lounge number. Of course, it delves off and gets into some fantastically weird shit in the second half. Yep, great.
“Cuckoo for Caca” - Ah, will I ever get sick of this song? Probably not. This song is angry as shit, though I can’t really figure out who that ire is aimed at. Seems like it’s about assholes doing cocaine, but that seems too obvious. Weirdest line on the record: “Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it.” My god, this song rules.
“Caralho Voador” - Another lounge-type number. If you asked me to list all the tracks on this record, this might be the one I forget. The odd name doesn’t help, and it’s always acted like a comedown after “Cuckoo for Caca.” Nice track, though.
“Ugly in the Morning” - I always chose to believe this song was about being hungover. “I did it to myself again” - that line really seemed like the lament of a man who drank too much. The last minute of this song finds Patton proving that he is the greatest vocalist in rock.
“Digging the Grave” - I talked a little bit about this one already. I may never grow tired of this track. We went to see the band on this tour, and they opened with this song. I will never forget the feeling I got when they busted into it. I wasn’t sure whether I should vomit, cry, or urinate. Turns out I was paralyzed from the awesomeness, so it all worked out.
“Take This Bottle” - Other than being about a minute too long, this country-ish song is great. Now, this one it definitely about drinking. Patton: versatile.
“King for a Day” - Oh, how I could romanticize this song. I’ll try to restrain myself from gushing too much, but it really doesn’t get a whole lot better than this. More bitterness here; this one seems to be about assholes drinking wine at a party. And so much more. Six and a half minutes and it doesn’t drag a bit. It’s songs like this that really made me wonder why these guys weren’t the biggest band in the world.
“What a Day” - I’ve always thought this one was about drinking as well, but really I think it might be about a serial killer who’s waiting to get caught. Really I have no idea. But “What a day, what a day/ If you can look it in the face/ And hold your vomit”? That’s pretty good.
“Last to Know” - I’ve always felt this track got sold short by being sandwiched between some really huge songs. It’s not a bad song, but it’s maybe one of the least memorable ones here. Still, I’ve learned to love it over the years.
“Just a Man” - If anyone ever compiles a video montage tribute to me, I would like this song to be the soundtrack to that film. That is how strongly I feel about the merits of this track. It is bigger than life (my life, at least).
Bottom line: if you don’t own this record, you are missing out on one of the finest musical accomplishments of the past twenty years, and I don’t know how you sleep at night
Ψόφος!

+1
σιγουρα δεν ξεπερνιεται τοσο δυσκολα οπως τ αλλα και ειναι πιο ευπεπτο και δεν ειναι φοβερο και τρομερο αλλα το περιμενα πιο μαπα μ αυτα που ακουγα…
Ενας ωραιος δισκος παντως κ μενα μ αρεσε…ευχαριστη εκπληξη οταν το αγορασα:roll:
ΟΕ ΟΕ ΟΕ ΟΕ!!!
σκεφτόμουνα πόσο πολύ θέλω να δω τους FNM και πόσο εύκολα στη χώρα μας μια συναυλία μπορεί να είναι υπέρτατη εμπειρία ή απόλυτη απογοήτευση.
πέρα από συνθήκες και υποδομές για να μη λέμε για ν-οστή φορά τα ίδια.
σκεφτείτε πώς θα ήταν μια εμπειρία στο Gagarin με 1000 άτομα μέσα τρελαμένα να δουν FNM που θα ξέρουν τα τραγούδια. όνειρο.
ε, φανταστείτε, στα πλαίσια ενός φεστιβάλ με το 70% του κόσμου να έχει πάει για το hype και να τους κοιτάει σα χάνος.
τουλάχιστον έχω την εντύπωση ότι στην Αγγλία θα τους τιμήσουν δεόντως. Ειδικά, στο download παίζοντας μετά τους Limp Bizkit και τους (τωρινούς) Korn, είμαι σχεδόν σίγουρος πως όπως και να παίξουν η εμφάνιση θα τους φανεί εκπληκτική…
Ρε, ας έρθει αυτή η γαμημένη 11η Αυγούστου και κλείνω επιτόπου εισιτήρια να τους δω στο εξωτερικό!
Έκλεισαν και στο Hurricane…
Καλα σε μας αν ειναι να κλεισουνμαλλον θα το μαθουμε αρκετα αργοτερα,παντα τρωμε τα περισσευματα.
Μακαρι γαμω.
