More about 'King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime'

Man, what a wild ride this one is! Faith No More's fifth studio effort "King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime" was released in 1995 and let me tell you - this album is pure chaos in the most beautiful way possible.Faith No More's album initially did not find the same critical acclaim as its predecessor when it was released in 1995. It received mixed reviews but has since become revered by fans and critics alike.After the departure of guitarist Jim Martin, the band brought in Trey Spruance from Mr. Bungle to handle guitar duties, and honestly? The result is absolutely mental in all the right ways.The album includes elements of genres such as heavy metal, punk, big band music, blue-eyed soul, bossa nova, cocktail music, country, death metal, gospel, grindcore, gothic metal, funk, lounge music, Japanese noise music, jazz, power pop, salsa, swing music, thrash metal and western music.That's not even an exaggeration - this band literally threw everything at the wall and somehow made it stick!For King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime the band focused on writing songs in different genres, rather than incorporating multiple genres into single songs, like they had done with many of the tracks on Angel Dust.Tracks like "Get Out" kick things off with pure punk energy, while "Evidence" slides into smooth jazz territory that'll make your head spin.Best single of all (and faring worst) was 'Evidence', a record with a groove so sexy it must have sent rednecks running for the hills.And don't even get me started on "Ricochet" -one of the greatest grunge songs full stop in Ricochet, proving Faith No More's intangible ability to transcend sub-genres of rock and metal and play them with the same ease and skill as what they're used to playing.For fans of:
Tool, Mr. Bungle, System of a Down, Primus, and Jane's Addiction
