Faith No More are virtually impossible to categorize; they blend metal and rap elements in a mix that becomes seamless on The Real Thing, whose hit single, "Epic," is a perfect combination of these disparate genres. Other high points are the thrashy "Surprise! You're Dead!," an excellent cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," the funk-layered-with-keyboards "Falling to Pieces," and the soft but spooky "Zombie Eaters." With the addition of vocalist Mike Patton, the band secured a highly talented frontman and skilled lyricist. The Real Thing is one of those rare albums that is impossible to quantify but astoundingly good. More accessible than the follow-up Angel Dust, it's also the first album new Faith No More listeners should get. --Genevieve Williams |

Quintessential FNM |
This is a great funk-rock album and the first time I've heard the FNM studio cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". There's a bit of a mellow spot in the middle of the CD (tracks 5 and 6), but finishes strong.
Favorites:
"Falling To Pieces"
"War Pigs" |

Faith no more is metal |
|
I was born too late, as you can see by my bad spelling. Or maybe I'm just a metalhead who dreams of bringing back good old metal music. But anyway, there's only one sure thing you need to know about Faith no more, if you want want real music from the greatest band (metal or not) from not just the 90's, but ever! then get your butt out of that computer and get yourself this album. Surprisingly is not their best because they really became a better band. But it still remains a metal classic. It has rap (which i personally don't like) call them what you want, but they aren't a rap-metal band or even funk metal. Sure it has those elements but frankly, they are to good to be labeled. Just see them as a metal band with different styles thrown in here and there. I'm the biggest Mike Patton fan, especially a big fan of the craziest band ever Mr. Bungle, along with Fantomas, and of course Faith no more. Roddy is the best keyboardist i've ever heard, Jim ruled that guitar, And Billy and Puffy are just as awesome too. Now that they've reformed, I'm just hopping i can see them play live and i succeed my accomplishments in life. Yeah that's how great they are so get this damn album now! |

A classic |
|
As a nineties raised person, you gotta love this album. It came out in the late eighties, but by listening to it you'll understand where many styles and tendencies come from, especially those of nu metal bands, only they're not even close to what these guys accomplished: an honest, well crafted mixture of 80's hip-hop, thrash metal, and funk. You'll love the War Pigs cover as well. In other words, go ahead and buy it.... By the way, you guys in North America are so lucky to have bands like this available for concerts all the time. Down here it's just starting to happen. |

The Album that Made me Like Music |
|
This album really turned me on to what music could be after the horrors of most popular 80s music. Yeah, I was a pretty little kid in the 80s, but I knew I didn't like what I heard coming out of most radios a majority of the time. My brother had some FNM (and a lot of other bands that no one else I knew had ever heard of) and these vocals really stuck with me. In high school, I had a cassette of this and Mr. Bungle and literally played them until they came apart-- I'm still not sick of either. It's so free of "influences of the time" that it continues to seem new and truly "alternative." It's a unique sound as all of Patton's endeavors seem to be. |

A beautiful album. |

I dunno, man, but between the structures, melodies and especially the production, this album FEELS like 1989/1990. And yet, it remains timeless. Despite their more experimental, and more interesting, efforts later, this is FNM at their most accessible. This is one of those albums you can throw on no matter what mood you're in and rock the F out. It's a blast to listen to. |
