When their record company first heard Angel Dust, they told the guys from Faith No More that the album should've been called "Career Suicide." Shows you how much record companies know.

This album is one of the most underrated masterpieces in rock history.

It's a masterpiece. Not a single filler track on it.

You can hear entire bands' careers in mere moments of a Faith no More song. Their influence on music in the 90s is massive.

You have good taste. ‘Kindergarten’ is my favourite track. The bass is delicious, the layered synths are gorgeous, the vocals are …well, they’re Mike Patton, and the rhythm is just funky as hell-addictive.

No FNM song is the same as the last on this album, each has it's own identity. I'm psyched for you to hear "King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime" as well, that's my personal favourite.

Mike’s vocals on the chorus of “Jizzlobber” are absolutely insane. That and “When Good Dogs Do Bad Things” off of Irony Is a Dead Scene are probably my two favorite performances of his.

Yes, Angel Dust is one of the best alternative rock albums out there. A lot of variety without losing its edge. I recommend King for a Day - Fool for a Lifetime for the next FNM listening. It's more of a grower, but has some really nice songs in it. Less synth and piano, though. Album of the Year is a decent album, but a bit uneven.

I wore this album out, just could not get enough of this masterpiece.

This is probably gonna sound patronizing as all hell -- and I don't intend it to -- but I'm *incredibly* impressed with how sophisticated your reactions were, given that you aren't a musician, don't have any prior experience with this band, and are unsure about some of the nomenclature (the fact that you identified the "slappy" quality of the slap bass without a visual reference as to how that sound is produced was especially remarkable). At your age, I'd been a fan of this band for a few years and was in a band myself, and I'm positive my initial reaction to this album would not have been half as eloquently put. Keep broadening your horizons -- the appreciation of music is a reward in itself!

Nice! In case you didn’t know Patton was the lead vocalist on one of The Dillinger Escape Plan’s EP’s. It’s just 4 songs but it’s absolutely worth a listen/review! Called Irony is a Dead Scene.

"A Small Victory" has become my favorite song on this album, which I didn't think would happen, but after all these years it's finally got it's time in the sun.

The band is 5 members [singer, guitar, bass, drums and keyboard] which is why you keep hearing piano/keyboard/organ/etc.

The music video for Everything's Ruined is one of the best music videos ever.

Fantomas - The Director's Cut. Another mind blowing Mike Patton project.

"Caffeine," "Everything's Ruined," and "Kindergarten" are the highlights for me on this album. So cool to see you reacting to this masterpiece. One of my all time favorite records from high school in the 90s all the way to present day now. It always bothered me how Faith No More and Mike Patton are always remembered ONLY for that one song - "Epic." (from "The Real Thing) - which, imo, is the weakest song in their entire catalogue and there's FIVE other records of other, and better material. It's like those popular kids in school when CD's were still a thing, and people would spend 15 bucks for a single song or two songs that were on the radio or MTV (yes, MTV played music once upon a time), and I never understood the point of that. I always bought albums for the sake of what WASN'T on the radio.

It's never too late for Faith No More. :) In fact this was good timing, Angel Dust came out exactly 30 years ago, in June 1992.

OOOO I LOVE THIS ALBUM, Its definitely in my top 3, Mike Patton is amazing! 6 octaves! And the songs are amazing! Love that your reacting to this amazing album

Smaller and Smaller has always been my favourite song on this album, ever since I first heard it back in 1992. Glad you liked it!

Mike Patten's Vocal range is awe inspiring he's definitely got some wicked ass talent!!! Enjoy getting into their twisted sounds!!! Peace✌

One of the most underrated albums of all time. Everything's Ruined, Midlife Crisis, and Land of Sunshine are my favorites.

This is the first album i bought with my own money. My favorite band ever. Please also do their other albums.

Awesome review! One of my all time favorites for sure! Fact: most of the lyrics from Land of Sunshine were written from “fortunes” Mike Patton found in fortune cookies.

I love this album. Just in time for its 30th anniversary, too

Back when music was original, back when music was made properly. Angel Dust has a special place, it’s a masterpiece. Everything’s Ruined is the cherry on the cake for me Back in the 80s and 90s piano was a common feature in rock music, the band members were real musicians, many with proper training on various instruments. Look at rock bands now it’s really just as loud a guitar as they can possibly do through their entire album

Loved your reaction to this album ❤️ The way your face morphed between unbridled joy and bamboozled confusion was a pleasure to watch ☺️☺️ Your reaction really sums up everything that Faith No More is ❤️ I'm looking forward to your reactions to the rest of their discography ❤️

Love when i hear people’s first digestion of my favorite album of all time. Angel Dust is timeless. You earned a subscribe.

With regards to Mike Patton what should be next besides FNM and Mr Bungle? Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Mondo Cane, Tomahawk or Dead Cross?

Good ear on catching the industrial influence on "Malpractice". Mike Patton said the track was inspired by industrial metal band Godflesh.

It is really gratifying to watch a person of your generation get into this record which is an all time fave of mine. When music is as weird/unique as this I don’t really expect younger people to “get it”. And yes, King For a Day is also just as great. FNM are the Swiss Army Knife of rock bands and I love them for it.

Great video on a truly groundbreaking and influential album, plus I love your smile when you hear a part you enjoy!

This come out in 1992 absolutely ground breaking and years ahead of it's time and too extreme for most of the fans they picked up on The Real Thing haha = the previous album, which is also great but much more accessible.

Finally you react to the most influential album of the 90s. this album and bungle self titled album influnced nu metal. give this album another listen it gets better the more you visit tracks. :) enjoy it with a beverage. this music sounds not as new but in 1992 it was mind blowing. this was in a time in music when rock and metal were simple and not as diverse. after this more bands started forming such as korn, deftones, system,distubed, papa roach, etc.

You should react to their album King for a Day

This album and Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power were the two best albums of that year (1992) for me. I listened to them constantly that year. The last two songs on the album are covers. Midnight Cowboy is the theme song to the movie of the same name. The first and only X rated picture to win an Oscar. Easy was a cover of a Commodores' song and was originally released as as single along with a cover of the Dead Kennedy's Let's Lynch the Landlord.

Fantomas ’Directors Cut’ is a fun listen and heavy af. You should definitely check that one out.

Angel Dust is not only my fav FNM’ album but my fav album ever hands down, such a masterpiece. You captured my same reaction first time listening to it, in 2007. I just never paid much attention to FNM before except for the singles, till one day I found this album on my mp3 files and gave it a go. It was such a slap in the face in a good sense. Never stopped listening to it, helped me through some rough times either. It just turned 30 years old. Part of my life’s soundtrack. Glad you enjoyed it!

Hands down to one of the greatest albums in history, so much changed in scene after this masterpiece, you hear so much influence from it and from FNM in so many alternative Rock/Metal bands after it, established a new pattern to make Rock/Metal music.

Faith No More are the best band ever! This album was the soundtrack to my childhood, my teenage years, and I’m still listening to it religiously now that I’m in my thirties! 😂

It’s cool that you picked up one the theme of the album. The duality of being the opposite of what they sound like. Even the title Angel Dust is that way. Angel dust sounds magical, then you find out it’s pcp. The front of the record had this bird and it’s pretty nice looking, and on the back, a slaughterhouse.

You picked up on the concept of the album pretty quick when you said "The sound of the song and the feeling it gives you is the opposite lyrically with what's going on with the track". Their keyboard player chose the name Angel Dust because it's a really beautiful name for a really hideous drug. The album artwork works the same way with an alluring great egret on the front cover and an image of a cow hanging on a meat hook on the back.

You made great reactions to Angel Dust and Dirt - those were the two albums that pretty much defined my sophomore year in high school! You've earned subscription! I love your unique reaction style - rather than take things a song at a time, you're going for the whole album. I can see how that may cost you viewers, because people really want to hear the whole song, but I respect you for it, because you're able to post reactions to so much more material for the people who know what you're listening to. You're staking out your own territory in the reaction space, and I appreciate it! On this album in particular; this is in my Top 10 albums ever. There are at least 6 tracks that I absolutely love, and maybe only 1 that I'm not a big fan of. For an album with 14 songs on it, that's an incredible success rate. I can remember riding with my friend, driving his parent's car, with the sunroof open at night, just blasting this album as we tore down the streets heading wherever we were heading! This was such an amazing follow up to the brilliance that was The Real Thing, and a forecast of things to come!

Really enjoy this video. It's worth noting that "Easy" wasn't the original last track of the album, at least in America. (The last song was the Midnight Cowboy instrumental.) However, "Easy" is at the very end of the UK version of the album, as sort of a bonus track. "Easy" was also released as a CD single in the States.

I find RV hilarious, it reminds me of the soundtrack to the underwater levels in classic Super Mario Bros XDDDDD But I also think that the rocky section towards the end is really powerful ^_^ My favourite song in this album is Jizzlobber, by far. His screams are breathtaking... I really like Faith No More, although I have to admit that I haven't listened to them in a very long time. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this one!

We Waited a long time for this (lol). Hope you enjoyed and dive into their discography. Patton is a beast but i think Roddy the keyboard player doesnt get enough love from the audience. His sounds and samplers are a big part of the fnm style. Easy was a biiiiiig hit in Brazil and was the sound track to a soap opera.

FNM my all time fav band. You are so lucky to get to listen to this album for the first time…I’d die to get that opportunity once more ❤️

Awesome album by an awesome band; You should react to Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

What a fantastic album!! Glad you finally got around to it. Love every track, but Jizzlobber is my absolute favourite. :)

Love how FNM’s use of keyboard added a whole new dimension to their songs.

now you understand where deftones, slipknot, korn and all the new metal bands got their inspiration from ;)

It was nice to hear you highlighting Smaller And Smaller and Kindergarten, they are gems.

Mr Bungle California or Disco Volante need a reaction too

This is in my top 5 best records of all time. And probably one of the most influential ones too. Its a masterpiece. Good reaction, Molly. PS: oh, and btw, 09:57, that "slappy" tone to the bass you mentioned is actually a bass playing technique called ... slap, lol. Billy Gould, FNM bass player uses a lot.

Earned a subscriber solely based on listening to this album. Love seeing a reaction from a first listen as it was sooooo many years ago since this album was a fresh listen to me. Love the respect you give it. Listen to ‘King for a day’ its Mr Bungles guitarist with FNM but a brilliant album. Less keys as Roddy was dealing with issues but still another masterpiece.

Such a great band.. Its so cool seeing someone react to this classic .... Brilliant Molly

Faith Yes More!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on their album after this, King for a Day. I think it's really underrated and just as good as Angel Dust.

Midlife Crisis is my favorite track from this album! Would also love to see your reaction to Limp Bizkit's discography as well, starting with "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all".

The album is great but look up "Mike Patton Angel Dust interview" on youtube. It's long but it's the funniest interview you will ever see.

A small victory!! So good, pay attention his lyrics are genius

Absolutely keep on. King For A Day will blow your mind. Faith No More never stop evolving. Great reaction! When Angel Dust came out it was confusingly great and became an instant classic that shaped so much music that came afterward.

Awesome! Now along with this, do more Faith No More and then Incubus' "Enjoy Incubus", 'Fungus Amongus", and S.C.I.E.N.C.E". Also, Bjork has a great album called Medúlla, which features music made up almost entirely of vocalizations done by herself, Mike Patton, beatboxer Rahzel, and others. Also, Mike Patton' s other projects like Tomahawk, Fantomas, Lovage, and Mike Patton Vs. The X-Ecutioners.

FNM never disappoints! This is them at their creative peak and has remained such an influential album for the rest of the 90’s and beyond.

Incredible review for my favorite band and album. Loved the attention to detail you put into this.

When I first heard you say "this is a different sound" or "Mike's changed his vocals" I just thought 'you're going to be saying that a lot'. Great reaction to a brave follow up to their breakthrough album, each song brought something different to the album. The beauty of Faith No More is they could appear on a variety of compilation albums and not sound totally out of place.

One of the highly influential albums that defined the sound/scene of the alternative/metal music throughout the nineties or in other words your favorite band's favorite band. A rollercoaster of awesome genre bending yet approachable music that still rocks today. Props for checking it out 👌

43, this album is certainly my favourite of all time - as are the band. And I am really loving your channel, so many albums that define my whole last 30 years and my heart beats to their rhythms - keep up the great work Milly and thank you :)

Whoever showed you all these bands is a good friend 👌 👏

Hi Molly, new subscriber to your channel. Love your intelligent, thoughtful , honest review of this record. You mention that you are "not a music expert" in your description, but you have a really great ear for the music you're listening to and you articulate your thoughts really well...Have checked out a couple of your other album reviews which are equally good. Keep up the great work !

Do you want to tell her what Be Aggressive is about, or shall I? 🤭🤭🤭 100% greatest album ever. Masterpiece.

Great Reaction! FNM's Angel Dust was released on June 08, 1992...Happy 30th Anniversary!!!

I’m old and you are helping me explore this band which I should know.

FNM are definitely a landmark band, a gift from above. They're a fruit salad of genius, craziness, darkness, beauty & every album gives you a right kick in the bollocks. Chefs kiss.

Great review of a great album! Actually one of my favourites.

This is great. I’m enjoying your perspective and I’m only seeing it because I’m constantly typing “faith no more Angel dust” in to KZfaq. Keep up the good work.

Try Mr. Bungle - California . It's Great ! You Rock so much for checking out some of the best albums ever ! :)

So cool to see someone discovering this album, it’s legit one of the best and enjoyed hearing your analysis. I first heard it when I was your age and while I have aged aged a lot since then this album really hasn’t.

I love to see people's reactions to this masterpiece from Faith No More. Angel Dust has been voted a few times as the most influencial alt metal album ever. King For a Day Fool For a Lifetime is also a masterpiece. Album.of The Year too. The albums before Angel Dust is a stellar record too, The Real Thing. I loved hearing your thoughts on these pretty strange songs. 😊

Hope you can get into Ministry's catalog too. Love your reactions lots of stuff nobody does, Bungle, FNM etc

You keep reacting to some of my favourite albums of all time!! I would love to know your reaction to King Park by La Dispute. Or the album Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence by Glassjaw 🙂. I'm loving your channel!

Thing with FNM music is, it takes a few listens to really sink in. But once it does, it's like a drug. Best Art Rock band ever. Also your favorite song is my favorite song of theirs as well. Kindergarten really showcases FNM's strengths. Though it's incredibly difficult to pick up a favorite song from their material as there are so many exquisite tunes to choose from.

I love that you aren't afraid to listen to a song called "Jizzlobber."

One of my all time fav albums. Would love to hear you do “Nothing’s Shocking” by Jane’s Addiction.

The strings in malpractice are a sample from Kronos Quartet / Allegro Molto

Great album,I've never been into these type of channels.But,You keep checking out alot of my favorite albums...How you explain the music I wouldn't be surprised if you were. Music major at Berkeley.Also,wanted to see the reaction to "maul practice".lol there's a pretty cool behind the scenes of them recording this album you might like.🤘😎👍Thanks for the cool channel,Have a good one.👍

Yes, Roddy Bottum is a trained pianist.. although to my knowledge all the keyboards are the Emu Emax sampling keyboard... so there's a wide range of instruments, voices, noises, etc. Most FNM has keyboards mixed pretty up front... even their earlier records have a lot of synth...

You got a touch of Patton in yer eye. Thx 4 this, it brings back a friend who s gone long....we did a comic on this cd. For weeks that is. Thx again

Yes to more FNM content!

I'm not usually massively into you tube blogger reviews... But I have to say that I really enjoyed this review of one of my most favourite Faith No More albums of all time, some may say arguably their best. I liked the way you described the sounds and feel and tone of the tracks and as your first listen I found it fascinating and agreeable. Thanks Molly! You should definitely delve Into their discography you've a lot to look forward to... 😉👍 I was surprised you didn't recognise the Lionel Ritchie cover 'Easy'.

An absolute perfect album from start to end, one of the greatest album ever, not only in Faith No More's history but in whole music history either. Revolutionary, iconic, legendary!

One of the main reasons this is so under rated is it wasn't mainstream no radio play. Only a select few, our legion love this band to for life and we are the better for it. One of the best bands ever. We love you FNM foreever.❤😮🤘🙏😁

I enjoyed the journey and now am digging through the other videos! Mike Patton is my favorite artist and took me down a rabbit hole to so many new bands. This is an incredible example of what he can do in a "conventional" rock group. Some other bands with a similar vibe would be Twelve Foot Ninja and Thank You Scientist!

All the string sounds, piano sounds, orchestra sounds etc, are the keyboard player who really set the sound apart for FNM

FNM was big influence on bands like Korn, Incubus, SOAD.

Thoroughly enjoyed your review. I'm actually a little jealous, as I'd love to hear this album for the first time again. One of the benefits of being an old fart is that I bought this album the day it came out. I was a fan of their previous records, but I wasn't expecting the absolute god-tier level of genius of Angel Dust. Me and my friend Carl listened to the whole thing is complete silence and, when it finished and without saying a single word, put it straight on again. We listened to it again in complete silence and, by the end of the second full listen, realised that we'd just heard one of the greatest albums of all time.

A top album from a top band, and a top review. Very cool!

Love your commentary on a this awesome album. Mike Patton is a fan of Cardiacs - a now dormant British band that escaped recognition in the USA. I’d love to see your reaction to their Song to God album…

You should listen to the other bungle records! Specifically Disco Volante and California. They’re two of my favs! Especially California.

Mike Patton; without peer as a vocalist in his generation. Had it not been for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' sabotaging them whenever possible, FNM might have been one of the most successful bands of the 90's.

i want to say thank you this reactions means alot to me.
