Mike Patton has become one of modern music's most notorious cult figures, seemingly for little more than making at least three times as much music as everyone else, no matter how terrible most of it is (see also: Merzbow). Patton does at least have one thing going for him, though - he was part of the band that made Angel Dust. Hard rock generally doesn't have the greatest expressive range, but the depiction of sheer insanity here is incredible. Sure, it's helped by the fact that the band aren't even close to being on the same page (Patton and the keyboard player want to be spooky, the bassist and drummer want to be funky, and the guitarist just wants to make as much filthy noise as possible), but even so, songs like "Everything's Ruined", "Land Of Sunshine", and "Smaller And Smaller" are powerful, gritty, ugly snapshots of a mind (both collective and individual) being torn apart. Beautiful, in an insane sort of way.

Unbelievable. I remember listening this album in high school and feeling like I was possessed. The other half of the time, it scared the crap out of me. Seeing the song Caffeine performed on MTV in the early 90s was unbelievable. The band just seemed so disturbing, and the audience just stood around captivated and confused. Lots of depth to this album, it grows on you, it has a wide variety of different types of songs, and it just moves you. Everything you need for a classic.

One of the most mind-boggling, unusual & fun musical experiences I've ever come across from an album. This album is extremely unique, musically it's wowing me right now. After the first listen I was confused with it, but listening to it again... man... this is an amazing album

Possibly the best metal album of the 90s (only Pantera could offer any serious competition in that regard), Angel Dust is a triumph of randomness: a combination of sarcasm, every genre you could think of, and Mike Patton's astonishing vocal range into one idiosyncratic whole. Choosing highlights would be impossible: from Patton's sudden operatic tenor on "Land of Sunshine" to the Chinese-sounding instrumentation of "A Small Victory" to the all out metal assault of "Crack Hitler" and "Jizzlobber," the entire package is flawless. Out of the countless albums Patton has lent his voice to, this is unquestionably at the top of the heap. Funky bass, riffy guitars, frenzied keyboards, killer drumming, and off-the-wall vocals and lyrics make this an album for the ages.

The band is all over the map no doubt. Gothic keyboards, Pop and slap bass, and vocals that change within a second. But the glue that holds it all together is this fact: this band had talent, and knew how to use it.

As much as I love The Real Thing, I think Angel Dust has the edge, because Mike Patton's genius and true style were able to shine through on this one.

This album is closer to a 5 than any other 4.5 in the history of 4.5s (seriously)

Angel Dust stands as testament to how wierd and bizarre and yet still completely awesome a band can sound if they relaly put their soul into it. Anyone who is going to say that this isnt unique is crazy and anyone who says it isnt amazing is even crazier

Atmospheric vocals, beautiful craftsmanship, powerful song-writing and lyrics make for one of the most prominent examples of progressive alternative rock, setting a standard unlike many other bands of the genre, creating picture perfect detours into the dark corners of the human mind, while at the same time gliding across an ocean of pure bliss, while the contrasting instruments paint multiple scenarios across your eardrums, you can't help but wonder just how far this album can take you.

Whenever someone asks me what type of music I listen to or what my favorite bands are, Faith No More is always the first thing I mention. Along with that, I mention what I consider to be the greatest music album of all time. That album is of course Angel Dust. It perfectly represents the type of person I am, and what I strive to be. Eccentric, eclectic, batshit insane, yet controlled.

I had a hard time rating this album because I did enjoy it, yet something just won't click with me. However, it does grow on you over time. This album feels so outdated; I might have loved this album if I had listened to it as a kid and not now.

One of my first discoveries on sputnik. Upon my first listen I was in awe, the album instantly grabbed a hold of me and didn't let go. Patton's vocals are outstanding and creative, while the band shines with consistent songwriting throughout the whole album. It's strange, fun, and oh so funky.

Angel Dust definitely knows how to keep its listener(s) guessing, tossing a wide variety of sounds into the mix without losing touch of its alternative rock style. The influence this album has left on others hasn't gone unnoticed, and when Faith No More are at the top of their game, few bands can truly deliver or match their interesting, yet (relatively) unprogressive music.

In my multi-hundred CD collection from avant-garde jazz to showtunes to tribal ambience, there's nothing quite like Fath No More's "Angel Dust" which incorporates many styles of music on it's own that blend together to make a remarkable journey through dark, cinematic funk/metal. I've never heard anything quite like Angel Dust and 18 years after it's infamous release it's still as fresh anmd unforgettable as ever. It took about a week and a half to get to classic status and it ain't gonna go down for as long as Angel Dust will grace my ears.

The combination of styles and sounds heard on this album shouldn't work, but for some reason they do, and it sounds fantastic. This album is weird, loud, OTT and unique, and I can't find much to fault about it.
