5.0 out of 5 stars Early Faith No More rocks too !!, September 23, 2000

Okay, I fully realize that Mike Patton is a better singer than Chuck Mosely. But the other 4 members are as musically tight here as on any other FNM release. The tune "We Care a Lot" is the most incredible song they have ever done.

3.0 out of 5 stars The only way is up, January 15, 2008

This review is from: Introduce Yourself (Audio CD)

This album introduced FNM to a much larger audience than they'd reached before. The album produced their first (underground) hit in the title track - a fun though lyrically silly rant raised from obscurity through good use of stop start rhythms.

Pulled to pieces it's clear that this band were infused with a great love of loud music played at a number of speeds and there certainly seems to also be a fair smattering of punk influences in both the delivery and the do it yourself feel of the album. The vocals of pre Mike Patton vocalist Chuck Mosley are an acquired taste and to hear him rave on with his non singers voice over the top of what are ofen fairly tight musical ideas is interesting. And make no mistake, as much as this sounded thrown together it's pretty clear that there was real musical vision behind the creation of these songs and their construction into a full album. The art of looking like there was no hard work done at all to produce this art metal calling card.

Personal favourites of mine here are the title track and also, strangely, The Crab Song which to me is utterly evocative of an the sort of feelings one has during one of your first relationship break ups and of course We Care A Lot which was the other really standout track on the album.

Taken as a whole this is an album more important for it's place in the FNM history, an album any FNM fan really wants to hear for themselves and very worthwhile as an early document if you can pick it up cheap. But it's too disjointed with too clouded an artistic vision to be worthy of more than three stars in it's own right.
