Album Notes
Faith No More: Mike Patton (vocals); Jim Martin (guitar); Roddy Bottum (keyboards); Billy Gould (bass); Mike Bordin (drums).Recorded at Coast Recorders and Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, California.Personnel: Mike Patton (vocals); Jim Martin (guitar); Roddy Bottum (keyboards); Bill Gould (bass guitar); Mike Bordin (drums).Audio Mixers: David Bryson; Matt Wallace .Recording information: Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, CA; Coast Recorders, San Francisco, CA.Photographers: Ross Halfin; Mark Curstein.Unknown Contributor Role: Warren Entner.Just as Faith No More acquired its long-sought-after mainstream success, the band decided that fame wasn't all it was cracked up to be. The group knew that the majority of its new fans would expect the follow-up to THE REAL THING to tread on similar sonic territory, and boy, did this new pop audience have another thing coming! Like many classic albums, upon first listen, 1992's ANGEL DUST is hard to digest in a single sitting. In fact, it almost sounds like artistic suicide--there are few obvious pop hooks, and the music is far more complicated than earlier material.But after a few more spins, ANGEL DUST finds the right receptors in your brain, and simply pummels the listener. Vocalist Mike Patton truly came into his own on this release, oft-times singing from the standpoint of different characters (as heard on "R.V." and "Be Aggressive"). While several tracks defy description--the harsh "Jizzlobber," "Malpractice," for example--the FNM of old can be heard in its full glory on such tracks as "Caffeine," "Land of Sunshine," "Midlife Crisis," and "A Small Victory." ANGEL DUST remains Faith No More's greatest achievement, and one of the best rock releases of the '90s.

Editorial Reviews
Ranked #26 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992.
Village Voice (19930302)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...This is tightly constructed noise on the grand scale that bellies its simple metal calling. It's loud, it's aggressive and, like any rock record worth its salt, it excites at the most instinctive level...
Q (19920701)

Included in Q's list of the 50 Best Albums Of 1992.
Q (19930101)

...probably the most uncommercial follow-up to a hit record ever...a brave slap in the face of record sales...at least it's not boring... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (19920710)

Highly Recommended - ...ANGEL DUST is the next logical step in the band's meteoric career...Dynamic, innovative, and multidimensional, FNM's 1992 release is easily the grimy unit's finest hour...
Spin (19920601)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...a roiling, musically adventurious record...explodes with the sound of genres colliding...a listening experience that's thoroughly exhilarating, absolutely mood altering and completely addictive...
Rolling Stone (19920903)

A fantastic follow up to the Real Thing!

Created: 16/09/06
This was the first FNM album I ever purchased....and it made me a huge and lifelong fan...a fan that had to track down their other offerings...none of which have dissapointed!
Extremely different to its predecessors, Angel Dust contains 13 eclectic tracks that rock, and indeed work, drawing in lifelong fans if not the critics!!
Faith No More is a band that has never been afraid to be different, indeed, it can be hard to place them in any one genre of music, though they are often credited with being the Godfathers of the Metal / /Rap movement. In this album they offer 13 tracks, with one being as different from the next!
Fo me standouts include - Small Victory which became a cult hit in the UK where I lived at the time, Midlife Crisis also rocked with a heavy rap edge on Pattons vocals and Be Aggressive, Smaller and Smaller and Everything's Ruined also became personal favorites; this album however also included tracks that were not afraid to be 'out there' and different such as RV which Patton pretty much talks his way through....weird...but it works!!
I love this album and though it may not be mainstream...I will always enjoy its tracks...this is a band that does not play up to the critics and in producing something that is musically diverse...in my opinion, they have produced a masterpiece that will always have its fans, especially me!!

Great group, great album.

Created: 16/11/10
Many Faith No More detractors pass them off as Red Hot Chili Pepper knock-offs. To me, this is an unrealistic comparison. I like Red Hot Chili Pepper's early work but once they recorded Blood Sugar Sex Magik all of the subsequent records sounded the same (no matter the line-up of the band). Faith No More on the other hand were all over the place (in a good way). Angel Dust is just another example of their madness. Mike Patton (the leader in most senses of the word) is a little bit mad. Caffeine is an excellent statement of legal drugs, the insanity of life combined with a sonic onslaught. Also, Crack Hitler... come on it doesn't get better than that. I think Faith No More influenced many of the current groups which try to combine diverse genres like Rap, Heavy Metal, Pop, Alternative (whatever that means) and so on. I like this album better than their Real Thing album (and I LOVE that album albeit there were a couple of tunes that were way over-played on the radio). Try it, you'll like it. If you do like it, think about checking out some of Patton's other work (Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom and his solo stuff). I'm a fan.

The cd is the follow up to The Real Thing,their landmark album.This however is as equal as that except Mike Patton does do the rap part as in the first album.Still songs like "Smaller and Smaller","A Small Victory","Land Of Sunshine"and "Caffeine"are the best songs on the album.I would rate this album 3.5 out of 5 stars.They change in every song which gives a sense of change and does not bore.

Faith No More--Angel Dust

Created: 05/07/06
I bought this CD because Faith No More is one of my favorite bands ever, and I have most of their major releases. "King For a Day, Fool For a Lifetime" WAS my favorite album of theirs until now. This CD has so many different musical styles all melded into this fantastic hard rock album. It's pretty much indescribable. Really mellow piano stuff going on behind some ripping guitars, Mike Patton's incredibly versatile voice doing everything from a deep panther growl to an insane black metal scream (plus, of course, his usual smooth as silk singing), and interesting, thought-provoking lyrics. This album wraps up with a cover of the theme from Midnight Cowboy, and it is a perfect end to an exciting journey. Each song is so drastically different (for a sharp contrast, check out RV and then Malpractice). If you are a fan of any of Mike Patton's work (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Lovage, Peeping Tom, etc.) or of any Faith No More album, this should be at the top of your list of things to check out.
