Faith No More: Angel Dust (2LP Deluxe Edition)

$95.99

The Deluxe Edition 2LP of Angel Dust offers an immersive look at Faith No More’s most daring and experimental album. Originally released in 1992, Angel Dust marked a dramatic departure from the band’s funk-metal roots, embracing a darker, more avant-garde sound that defied expectations. This remastered edition, spread across two 180-gram vinyl records, not only preserves the intensity of the original but enhances it with bonus tracks, B-sides, and live recordings.

From the opening track “Land of Sunshine”, the album exudes an eerie, almost carnival-like atmosphere, blending heavy guitar riffs with Mike Patton’s schizophrenic vocal delivery. Tracks like “Midlife Crisis” and “A Small Victory”showcase the band’s ability to mix aggression with melody, while the unsettling “RV” takes an unexpected detour into theatrical storytelling. The mix of metal, funk, jazz, and experimental rock throughout the album makes Angel Dust a genre-bending masterpiece that refuses to be categorized.

The bonus LP adds significant value to this edition, featuring live performances and alternate versions that provide deeper insight into the band’s creative process. “Midnight Cowboy”, a haunting instrumental cover, adds an atmospheric close to the album, while live renditions of “We Care A Lot” and “Be Aggressive” capture the raw energy of Faith No More’s stage presence. Additionally, tracks like “Das Schützenfest” and “The World Is Yours” give fans a taste of the band’s playful yet chaotic approach to music.

Sonically, this remastered edition ensures that the album’s dense production is even more crisp and immersive, allowing the layered instrumentation to breathe without losing the punch of its heavier moments. The 180-gram pressingensures a deep, rich sound, making it a worthy upgrade for vinyl collectors and longtime fans alike.

Verdict:

★★★★★ (5/5) – A must-have edition of one of the most unpredictable, boundary-pushing albums in rock history. The Deluxe 2LP version of Angel Dust is more than just a reissue—it’s an essential deep dive into a band at the height of their creative power.
