Music reviews of Faith No More - Who Cares A Lot? The Greatest Hits

Music Review: YOU'RE PERFECT, YES, IT'S TRUE
Rating: 5 Stars

No band in the world was quite like Faith No More. While arena rock bands like Metallica and Guns 'N' Roses rose to the forefront, becoming the mainstream heroes that FNM deserved to be, FNM was making far more original music. Why did Faith No More never rise to the levels of commercial greatness? Because they were too damn good. They were unwilling to sell out to conform to what the industry wanted to hear. When "The Real Thing" became a big hit, the music industry wanted to hear "The Real Thing Part II." Instead, the band released a little album called "Angel Dust" (if there's been an underrated rock album this decade, this is it). Right up until the end, FNM stayed true to themselves and true to their fans; that's why Faith No More's fans are much more devoted than, say, Limp Bizkit's. This two-disc set chronicles the band from their earliest recordings with original frontman Chuck Mosely, who sang like he suffered from acute mental retardation, to the material they recorded with their defining frontman, Mike Patton, covering four albums. The first disc rocks harder than maybe anything you've ever heard. The second disc is a curious treasure trove of oddities, aimed primarily at the fans. While the disc runs excruciatingly short, it does feature some great material. "The World Is Yours," "Hippie Jam Song," "I Won't Forget You," and "This Guy's In Love With You" all shine brightly, while tracks like "Highway Star," "Theme From Midnight Cowboy," and "Introduce Yourself (4-Track Demos) seem a bit unnecessary. But who cares? Or rather, who cares a lot? After all, this IS Faith No More. While other bands would be content to fill a hits collection with, just that, hits, FNM was always reaching for something greater, and as a result, they are far more respectful. It's about time this band got their due, even if they have disbanded. They were innovators in the greatest sense. If you haven't been exposed to the brilliance of FNM, then buy this album, goddammit.

Who Cares a Lot? The Greatest Hits by Faith No More

A curious coda from a truly peculiar bunch. Who Cares a Lot is the swan song of the most engaging band to come to the fore when the late-'80s and early-'90s funk-punk hordes defiled the land. What set the San Francisco-based quintet apart all the lukewarm Chili Peppers of the time was powerful musicianship (few hard-rock bands could match them onstage in their Real Thing prime) and a contrary disposition. When the sweeping "Epic" briefly transformed FNM into MTV darlings, they responded by recording their most challenging work, the jarringly unpredictable Angel Dust, a commercial lapse from which they never quite recovered. Then there was their unsettling taste for easy-listening sounds, rather too generously evidenced on this best-of package by Lionel Richie's "Easy," Bacharach and David's "This Guy's in Love with You," the Bee Gees' "I Started a Joke," and "Theme from Midnight Cowboy." Their adrenaline-drunk fans never knew whether to cry or laugh. Of course, their trademark extreme alt-rap-metal forays are also in evidence, from 1987's "We Care a Lot" (a puncturing parody of altruistic star sing-alongs) to the half dozen turn-out-the-lights tracks from 1998. Ultimately, no one ever found solace in Faith No More, but, as Who Cares a Lot affirms, they were often beyond belief. --Steven Stolder
