Album of the Day

Following the Grammy-nominated ANGEL DUST, Faith No More returned in 1995 with KING FOR A DAY...FOOL FOR A LIFETIME. Recorded at Bearsville Studios near Woodstock, New York, it was the first album following the departure of longtime guitarist Jim Martin, and the addition of replacement axeman Trey Spruance and producer Andy Wallace resulted in one of the group's most stylistically diverse collections. "We wrote and recorded some of our most radical, out there songs,” recalls keyboardist Roddy Bottum, “like 'Cuckoo For Caca' and 'Ugly In The Morning,' some of our mellowest like 'Take This Bottle,' 'Caralho Voador' and then some of our most high-drama, like 'Just A Man.'" With more than a million copies sold worldwide, KING FOR A DAY...FOOL FOR A LIFETIME showed Faith No More remained alt-metal royalty.
