Faith No More - We Care A Lot Album Review


They may have come up with one of the greatest band names of all time, but for the various members of Faith No More this choice constitutes one of the few things done right in a more than thirty years of wilful provocation. Biting the hand that feeds it? FNM have on several occasions seemed hell bent on cutting it off.

Faith No More - We Care A Lot Album Review

Ten thousand words could barely summarise the LA quintet's chaotic journey (A relatively concise summary of their earlier years is on the internet, reproduced from an old issue of Classic Rock) but we have only 500-ish. Luckily the history of We Care A Lot is pretty illustrative of their crazed dynamic - how many other 6 million album selling groups would let their début be out of print for more than 20 years? Precisely.

FNM are at least temporarily now a going concern again, having released the well-received Sol Invictus on singer Mike Patton's own label last year. The decision to dust off We Care A Lot however was partly fuelled by the accidental rediscovery of the original masters by bass player Bill Gould, whilst in a markedly "Normal" approach to this sort of thing this deluxe edition also expands the running order using remixes, demo versions and live takes.

Metz Ringo Deathstarr Faith No More Titus Andronicus Hawk Eyes Turbowolf Mini Mansions Idlewild Father John Misty

Metz - II, Ringo Deathstarr - Pure Mood, Faith No More - Sol Invictus

10. Metz - II
Toronto's Metz returned with their obviously titled second outing this year, offering up a relentless 30 minute blitzkrieg of feedback riddled guitars and pounding drums. They didn't make any huge changes to their usual formula, but II adds some impressive new tunes to the bands back catalogue, including the unhinged opener Acetate, the aggressive dirge of Spit You Out and the blistering I.O.U. Metz are an incredible force and are fast cementing themselves as, if not the best guitar band on the planet right now, then certainly the noisiest.

9. Ringo Deathstarr - Pure Mood
For a few years now, Ringo Deathstarr have plied their trade as a solid, if fairly unremarkable shoegaze act, but on Pure Mood - their third album in four years - their time spent touring with The Smashing Pumpkins has rubbed off, and the grunge dial has been turned all the way around to 10. There's big riffs aplenty splashed all over Heavy Metal Suicide and guitar histrionics in Guilt. This album is a huge step forward for Ringo Deathstarr.
