Faith No More Reuniting?

[Dr Rockso]

I wouldn't say 'classic' but I do like Separation Anxiety, Suoerhero, Cone Of Shame and Matedor

[Trev]

Yeah, like those ones meself. I don't think Sol Invictus is a great album, but it's definitely better than AOTY. But then King For a Day is my favourite so I'm probably in the minority when it comes to FNM opinion

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

King For A Day was my favourite for years, and I know several heads who share that view. I've ranked Angeldust equal with it for quite a while now. Also a big fan of AOTY. And Sol Invictus is grand. Not great, but not in any way insultingly bad.

Those Sol Invictus tracks mentioned are probably the better ones, had they been knocking around for a previous album they wouldn't have made the cut. The whole thing is half baked.

King For A Day a classic from start to finish. I don't think there's a bad track on it.
Gave it a listen recently and it still sounds fresh.

[Pagan Saviour]

Angel and King are equal to my ears too

[Pentagrimes]

Yeah from the supporters would love to hear what these alleged classic tracks are on Sol Invictus

Matter of taste innit? But personally I love Matador, Cone of Shame, Motherfucker, Sunny Side Up and I think rise of the Fall is massively underrated, a nod to the Chuck era. I still believe Black Friday is the worst song they've ever written. Not mad on the opening track of From the Dead but they aren't awful. I believe I said at the time and stand by the fact that it was a bunch of guys in their 50s making a record that sounded like a bunch of guys in their 50s, which is fine by me.

Probably due to overfamiliarity and I could not be arsed getting into an arguement with anyone about this, but The Real Thing is my least favourite FNM record at this stage.

Angel Dust and Introduce Yourself are the twin peaks for me, with KFAD right behind. But I like everything they've done.

Sidebar to all this, picked up a second hand Mordam pressing of We Care A Lot (the first lp, not the single) in Luca Records when I was home last week. Delighted.

[Pagan Saviour]

Agreed on The Real Thing, if I never heard it again I'd be ok with that. Yet I've played Angel and King to death and never tire of those.

[Carnage]

I always think that about The Real Thing before I inevitably lash it on for the millionth time and get sucked in once more. Fantastic album - when playing the songs in the correct order, not the CD order (see also: Dirt).

Whoa, whoa, as a lifelong fan of our compact, optical friend what's up with the CD running order of those?

[astfgyl]

Just to be fair, I listened to some of Sol Invictus earlier. There's just something really half done about it. Ah well.. it doesn't offend me or anything.

Once I was driving along with my daughter and she was about twelve or so and I was listening to the We Care A Lot album, the time it was reissued maybe 2016 and I was delighting in it and she asked me in deadly seriousness if the lad singing had downs syndrome. I always think of it now when it's on  but I still love that album.

And everyone who says Album Of The Year is bad is wrong, it's not as good as KFAD, Angel Dust or The Real Thing but it's definitely better than Sol Invictus

I also completely forgot there was a difference and I started off on the tape

Isn't the CD order the correct order and the reason for the slightly different tape order is because it filled the space on the two sides of the tape better?

[Carnage]

No idea. I had it on tape for years and was very thrown off by the CD track order. I don't think Edge Of The World or War Pigs were on the vinyl, both were bonus tracks for the tape and CD.

Ducky: the tape had Edge Of The World at the end of side one, after Zombie Eaters. The CD order just sounds wrong to me, with it stuck between Woodpecker From Mars and War Pigs. I rearranged the tracks when I ripped them for iTunes and my phone.
