Disco de Faith No More: “Who Cares a Lot? The Greatest Hits”

Descripción (en inglés) :

Initial pressings of WHO CARES A LOT? contain a limited-edition bonus disc, featuring previously unreleased demos and studio and live recordings. <p>Faith No More: Mike Patton, Chuck Mosely (vocals); Jim Martin, Trey Spruance, Dean Menta, Jon Hudson (guitar); Roddy Bottum (keyboards); Billy Gould (bass); Mike Bordin (drums). <p>All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. <p>Throughout a recording career that spanned 12 years, Faith No More covered more musical ground than most rock groups could only dream of. Issued a year after the group's breakup, the 1998 two-disc collection WHO CARES A LOT? contains both a disc of expected favorites and a disc of unreleased rarities. Also included is a brief but informative career overview by band biographer Steffan Chirazi. <p>As many know, FNM overcame several lineup changes during its successful yet tumultuous career. The most significant change was when Mike Patton replaced original vocalist Chuck Mosely. Both singers' eras are represented here. Included are such Mosely highlights as "We Care a Lot" and "Introduce Yourself." Patton gets more spotlight time with "Epic," "From Out of Nowhere," "Midlife Crisis," "Digging the Grave," "Easy," "Last Cup of Sorrow," and others. For newcomers to the great Faith No More, WHO CARES A LOT? is highly recommended.

With one disc full of singles, and one of extras, this is perfect for the casual, and hardcore fan. The 15 on disc one are roughly what they should be. Just a couple from the pre-Patton era, all of the "big" hits, and a few covers. My only real complaint, is only two tracks from their masterpiece "Angel Dust". But it does have "We Care A lot", "Epic", "Midlife Crisis", "Last Cup of Sorrow", and the cool closer "Stripsearch". The big treat with this package is the bonus disc. It's a handful of b-sides and covers, that are a must for the "FNM" fanatic. All good too. There's also the 19 track "This Is It" best of, with some different songs on it, if you want to check that out. Either way, listen to "Faith No More".

The duration that this unpredictable and volatile San Francisco group stayed together for so long was probably the most surprising thing about Faith No More. Throughout the Eighties and Nineties the band made some of the most diverse and inspiring music in rock, always challenging their audience with a blend of metal, jazz, rap...well, anything that goes. With the farewell 'Who Cares A Lot?', all the greatest and most known songs are on offer - from the groundbreaking `We Care A Lot' from the early days to the single `I Started A Joke'. In between are the seminal classics of `The Real Thing' including the hits `Epic', `Falling To Pieces' and `From Out Of Nowhere'. The smooth and spacey `Stripsearch' sitting next to the menacing `Digging The Grave' display the versatility of the band showing the warped genius of Faith No More. The real motivation for Faith No More fans to buy this record is the bonus CD highlighting the even weirder side to the band. Cover versions are varied from `Midnight Cowboy' and `This Guys In Love With You' of the unreleased demo of `Introduce Yourself'. A great showcase of one of the most influential bands in recent times. The package will only be of significance to newer fans.

It's amazing how a rock band can capture someone's attention as some of them do. It happened with me when I first heard and saw the video for "Midlife Crisis", and 5th positioned in Brazilian MTV's Top 200 "Falling to Pieces". When I knew that they wouldn't play anymore I was shocked. It took some time for me to believe it. How could they have split up? Well, even though Faith No More exists no more, their music remains. It works perfectly for me as for all those people who see them as a highlighting band in hard rock history. My teen era was inspired by these guys. Now I'm 24 but nothing has changed. I realized this while listening to Who Cares a Lot 2nd CD, cause it reminded me of how good things were when they were making music. I miss a few songs in the 1st CD... And the 2nd one is quite comfortable. "Hippie Jam Song" and "I Won't Forget You" are outstanding. I recommend it to all the people who enjoy cool headbanging songs, together with crazy screams and sometimes calm ballads. After all, that's one of the things that makes this life worth living.

Peace to all FNM fans! From Brazilian #1 fan.

Look at all these big namers who can't handle success and they just fall apart after a brief spark or a couple of great records. Heck, Ozzy wrecked his best albums by re-recording the bass and drums just because he (or Sharon?)had a hissy with the underpaid, underappreciated band members. With Faith No More, you have steady growth, from one great record to another leap of gut-punch rock as good as and BETTER than 75% of the bands out during AND after their time. Why waste your money on anything lesser--these your boys!

Before I bought this, the only Faith No More album I owned was Angel Dust. I loved Angel Dust, but I had never heard much about the other albums, which led me to believe that Angel Dust was just a fluke. Well, one day I found this CD cheap and bought it just for the hell of it. I was amazed by how many great songs the band did after Angel Dust. If I hadn't have come across this CD, I probably would have stopped after Angel Dust. Now the problem with the CD is that some of the song choices are a bit puzzling. I mean, only two songs from Angel Dust? Plus, the bonus rarities CD is way too short, and there's nothing on it that really captivates me. If I were trying to think of a first Faith No More album to buy, I would get Angel Dust. Then I would get Fool For A Day... and Album Of The Year. This is a great album to have for a while, but it will probably just make you want to buy all of their post-Real Thing albums, making this one fairly obsolete.
