Fifth studio album by the American metal band. The album showcased a greater variety than the band's usual heavy metal leanings, with Rolling Stone calling the result a 'genre shuffle'. The album spawned three singles - 'Digging the Grave', 'Ricochet' and 'Evidence'.

    A perfect album. Buy it!!!!
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2010
    I was dubious of this album. I had thought that this album would suffer greatly from the lack of Jim Martin.

    How wrong I was. It's a wonderful evolution from Faith No More. There has been no effort to imitate the style of Jim Martin. As a result you have an album that stands up by itself. It sits well within their discography whilst being simultaneously different from their other albums, but still being instantly recognisable as Faith No More at their finest.

    I bought this to replace my previous copy which had worn out - particulary the track "Just a Man" as it had been played over and over - being a favourite of the kids. If you love FNM you will love this album.

    even with the departure of jim martin, i was worried what this album would sound like when it was first released. i shouldn't have worried! totally blew me away. every track is killer and for me is the best ever.

    Its time for some honesty,i let faith no more slip me by,i have been a metal fan for about 17 years now,and of course i knew of the band,i admired their song epic but wasnt enough to make me buy their album and when the crappy cover of easy was released that was the end of any potential friendship or so i thought,yes i will always hate the cover of easy but i wont hold that against them after hearing this super class album.

    Now this is an album that i believe helped kickstart so many bands and indeed the mathcore genre,the jazz influenced,lounge ballroom flavours along with strangled screams and solid rock and moments of metal all make for something more than interesting,oh yeah there is also country and western thrown in but its all good and thats no lie.

    The album is a mix mash of sounds,styles and themes and there doesnt appear to be any flaws with this,im giving it four out of five,just to see how it pans out after 6 months.The album opens with the rocktastic stomper 'get out','ricochet' is anthemic.'evidence' is very soul based, 'cuckoo for caca' is pure screamcore and its no wonder from hearing this why mike patton did an ep with dillinger escape plan who are clearly influenced by faith no more.'Digging the grave' is a punky snappy number that is extremely memorable,'Take this bottle' is pure country and sounds alot like johnny cash.

    I have listened to this album flat out for the past two days and im in shock at how good it is and when reading reviews from old fans of the band,something appears to me,that if they say this is poor compared to angel dust and the real thing,then crikey those albums must be class, i must get them readers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ewiger Klassiker als hervorragende Vinyl-Ausgabe
    Reviewed in Germany on 13 June 2021
    Zu diesem Album habe ich eine besondere Beziehung, seit Erscheinen in den Neunzigern in den guten alten Schulzeiten, wo Mixtapes, Discman und Walkman noch gang und gäbe waren und der MP3-Player in weiter Ferne, seit dem höre ich immer wieder gerne die Band um Mike Patton und den grandiosen Cross-Over. FNM waren mit diesem Album Ihrer Zeit weit voraus und auch heute, mehr als 25 Jahre später ist diese geile Platte noch immer zeitlos und sensationell gut. Meine First-Press-CD aus Schulzeiten hat zugegebenermaßen ein wenig gelitten und für 19 EUR musste ich hier einfach zuschlagen:
    Ein tolles Doppel-LP Gatefold, 180g schweres Vinyl und eine super Pressqualität lassen hier das Sammlerherz höher schlagen. Alles ist schön aufgemacht, die Bonus-Tracks sind ein nettes Gimmick und bis auf Ausnahmen auch hörenswert (Evidence in Italienisch geschmettert hat seinen eigenen Charme, würden mir aber auch nicht fehlen, wenn diese nicht vorhanden wären.)

    Insgesamt eine runde Sache, 10/10 für das Album und 5 Sterne für die liebevolle Umsetzung - gerade an letzterem hapert es bei den großen Re-Issues häufig, wo man mit der absoluten Basic Ausstattung (Standard-Sleeve, 140g Vinyl, Null-Extras zum Premium-Preis, zB Rage against the machine) abgespeist wird. Top-Noch!

    5.0 out of 5 stars El disco más "Faith No More" de Faith No More" pues ya han creado su propio estilo.
    Reviewed in Spain on 31 May 2021
    Evolucionando por la enorme senda sonora abierta tras "Angel Dust" la banda de Mike Patton no podía decepcionar en cuanto a dar un paso más en su perfección como banda hacia la gloria.

    King for a Day, producido por Andy Wallace que puede llevarnos a los paraísos del Metal y el Grunge: Sepultura, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, o a la delicadeza más absoluta del Pop: Jeff Buckley, Natalie Imbruglia, Patti Smith... Nada como pez en el agua en los variopintos experimentos sonoros de la banda de San Francisco, que una vez más se atreven con todo: Metal, Grunge, Pop, música Crooner, Fado, Rock, Rap y hasta Death Metal.

    Un disco inclasificable que mejora con cada escucha y contiene en un solo trabajo lo que parecen ser 10 discos distintos.

    Esta edición: Maravillosa, con carpeta, letras, fotos y contenido extra exquisito.
