Format:Audio CD
I am a huge huge huge Faith No More fan, so giving this album 3 stars hurts - but it is about right.

This album will appeal more to fans than casual listeners. If you are new to Faith No More plump for either "The Real Thing" if you want catchy as hell tunes from the late 80s, or "Angel Dust", their finest work in all its schizophrenic glory.
"Album of the Year" is incredabley frustrating. At this point the band were on the verge of split and while new guitarist Jon Hudson was a technically apt player he didnt help to pin down the troublesome 6 string spot in the line up.

There are undeniabley classic FNM songs here; 'Collision' with its power chorus, 'Last Cup Of Sorrow' with its bleak atmosphere, 'Stripsearch' with its easy going chill, 'Ashes To Ashes' with its anthem like structure and 'Naked In Front Of The Computer' with its scattergun approach. When the album is good - it's very good.

Unfortunatly there is quite some filler. Some songs sound just sound plain empty and unfinished. Not to the extent of bad - but frustratingly thin. 'Mouth to Mouth' quickly loses it's appeal as does 'She Loves Me Not', while 'Helpless' grates after the excellent opening songs.

Heartbreakingly this album ends dreadfully. The slow 'Paths to Glory' is just aneamic, 'Home Sick Home' has nothing likeable about it while 'Pristina' is the only Faith No More song (with Mike Patton) that is totally without merit, it's appallingly bad.

For a fan there are many pleasures on offer - just learn to skip the cd player accordingly and pretend that the creators of the wondorus "Angel Dust" didn't write some of the trite on show on the disc.

Format:Audio CD
This is an album that has fallen violently as a victim of harsh professional reviews, as a result Album of the Year was the Last Faith no More album (post Mosley) to be added to my collection. Not expecting too much, I was wholly impressed by it. The explosive opener and aptly titled track "Collision" showed that Patton & Co still hadn't lost their knack for producing killer metal tracks. Contrasting greatly with "Collision", the second track, "Stripsearch" possibly the most spaced and chilled song FNM produced, sharp keyboards, a strong bass line and of course Patton's atmospheric vocals make it a classic. From here this get even better, the single "Last Cup of Sorrow' features Patton singing through a telefunken tube mic, it shows the bands incredible ingenuity to combine the most obscure elements of the music world with mainstream rock. Grinding guitar work winds it way through the Angel Dust-esque "Naked in Front of the Computer", while the tempo is altered again by the emotional "Helpless", when compared with the rest of the album its a drawn out affair with nothing much happening, however Patton saves the day with delectable vocals, harmonies and even the odd whistle. Track six brings us into the world of Mr. Bungles "Ars Moriendi" and "Desert Search for Techno Allah",sporting a middle eastern vibe, perhaps its not my favourite track but it adds a new dimension to the album. "Ashes to Ashes" is the albums centerpiece, its awesome riff provided by new guitarist Jon Hudson combined with its heavy atmosphere, saves the embarrassment caused by the not so like FNM `She Loves me Not", ok its provides a lounge music laid back feel to the album, with the slightest sense of irony, but it is a filler. The drive faster "Got that Feeling" encompasses all that we know about FNM's ability to shift genres with a flick of a switch, its punk-nu metal feel reminds me somewhat of System of Down. The last three tracks couldn't be any more different, the military "Paths of Glory", a tribute to those lost in war is dark and broody. The epic album closer "Pristina", a tale of two lovers parting in the war torn town of Pristina, Yugoslavia, it is without a doubt the most emotional piece of work FNM ever produced, you can just sense the sincerity in Patton's voice. Album of the Year didn't break any musical boundaries, but its a cohesive effort from a band who's relationship that was quiet the opposite. Personally I feel this the best of the post-Jim Martin albums FNM made, a truly solid effort.

A fine swan song 9 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
A long-time fan of Faith No More, I put off the purchase of this, their final album, after the slightly disappointing mish-mash of 'King for a day..' (sorely missing Big Jim Martin's trademark guitar)

But, after my first listen, I can safely say that the bands demise is a great tragedy. Having found a full-time guitarist to compliment their style, they have let loose with an excellent collection of songs, as varied and skilfull as anything they have ever done (except maybe 'The Real Thing').

Stand-out tracks Stripsearch, Last Cup Of Sorrow, and Ashes To Ashes all lean to the mellower side of FNM, but there's plenty of variety here to keep their fans happy.

A fine album to bow out with (and a great, cheeky title), now all we can hope is that Mike Patton can continue to develop Mr Bungle into something equally special.

FNM - RIP.
