5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best,
This review is from: King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime (Audio CD)
This, along with Angel Dust, is the pinacle of FNM's output. It includes a wide variety of styles (wide, even for *this* band) and contains both FNM's most melodic and heaviest tracks. I think many people who slate this album assume it must be second-rate as Jim Martin isn't on it. Pah! The guitar playing throughout is incredible--in fact, the best of any of their LP's. 'Last To Know' is one the most majestic songs ever sung by the superb Mike Patton, and there are loads more really excellent tunes here.If you like Angel Dust, you *must* get this album, it's as simple as that!

Best.. Album.. Ever... Almost.,
This review is from: King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime (Audio CD)
You would think that after giving The Real Thing and Angel Dust to the world that the quality of FNM's output would start to slip... well think again. This album stands out from it's predecessors due to the stellar guitar stylings of Mike Patton's, Mr Bungle cohort Trey Spruance. He gives the band's sound a fantastic makeover and it was a pity that he didn't produce more music with FNM.From the fantastic chugging guitar-fuelled vengeance anthem "the Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" to the lifting, gospel based "Just A Man" via the sordidness incarnate "Evidence" there is not one bad track on this album, much like The Real Thing and Angel Dust. Albums don't come much better than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars
in my top 5 albums ever.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime (Audio CD)
This is A MAGNIFICENT ALBUM.If anyone compares this or ever considers comparing this as a soundalike to Mr.Bungle don't trust them ever again. I also am a fan of Mr. Bungle and they don't sound like FNM one little bit (except for Patton's vocals). This is by far their best work and it shows with tunes like Evidence and King For A Day. Some compositions are beautiful, melodic, some eerie and create certain emotions and some just pound the crap out of your brain. Every one likes a good dose of aural brain-pounding! Heres a track by track review: 1.Get Out;A rocker, fast and incredably catchy. 2.Ricochet;Damn good tune, mid paced, catchy, and amazing vocals. 3.Evidence;my favourite FNM tune, just magnificent. a slow jazzy number which justsucks you in. 4.Gentle Art Of Making Enemies;slightly mental, damn good song, speedy. 5.Star A.D;slow jazzy song with a sax solo. 6.Cookoo For Caca;hmmmm...do you with to heara more mental song(if one exists! maybe Mr.Bungle) 7.Carlaho Vohador;slow sleazy ballad,soft on the ears and a good song none the less. 8.Ugly In The Morning;starts off normal........ends with Mike Patton sounding like he's choking on his own phlegm......don't let that put you off though, its a good song! 9.Digging The Grave;the immediate single, catchy, punchy rock song. 10.Take This Bottle;another slow soft one, brilliant chorus, brilliant vocals, brilliant song. 11.King For A Day;like a depressing downward spiral, creates strong feelings. starts with "this is the best party i've been to.." ends with "don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes". Amazing song and atmsophere. 12.What A Day;Short,sweet,heavy and a damn fine, catchy song. 13.The Last To Know;probably the least memorable song on the album but good none the less. 14.Just A Man;one of my fav FNM songs, a soaring ballad that erupts into a crunchy chorus and keeps climbing and climbing until it fades out. The BEST album closer ever made(on a par with Whitewater by Kyuss). So this album should appeal to you if you like brilliant songwriting, amazing vocal ranges, a mix of rock and ballads and music that was completely ahead of it's time(thats why FNM weren't famous), no-one was ready for them, no-ones brains had evolved to understand this masterpiece in rock(and any sort of..) music!!! A BRILLIANT SOUL INSPIRING ALBUM!!!!!
