Although it was misunderstood and maligned at the time, the legacy of Faith No More’s legendary fourth album Angel Dust has grown substantially since its release in 1992.
A unique and genre-mashing classic, their fourth studio album is of the all-time great “Fuck you!” responses to mainstream success. And, in true FNM style, their fans’ first taste of Angel Dust was Midlife Crisis: an uncompromising, funk metal single which sampled Beastie Boys and Simon and Garfunkel, its lyrics were inspired by the “desperate” behaviour of a pop megastar and yet still managed to break into the UK Top 10 singles chart.
