Pros: Still FAITH NO MORE, able to spin great unpredictable songs (a few of them, here)
Cons: Predictability, loads of filler, restrained performances, inner feuds. Everything that made the band collapse eventually!
Summary: 15 years are a considerable amount of time for any band to cope with. Legendary ensembles (JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, CREAM, THE POLICE, NIRVANA) didn’t last even a decade. Bulwarks as THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN and THE CLASH were de ...

Pros: Musically diverse, several epic rock songs. Great slow songs. Overall a near masterpiece.
Cons: It was the last studio recording for the band. They were never appreciated.
Summary: Faith no more ended their tenure in the music scene with this album, and it really wasn’t a bad way to go out. AOTY has some dark, driving rock anthems that are balanced in well with a few subtle, strange tunes that vary in theme and composition. ...

Pros: Bringing back the crazy keys and diversity in sound. Patton as zany as ever.
Cons: The metal bug was still alive in their system, but not quite as vigorous.
Summary: Faith No More was a band with problems. Not the “everybody’s slammin’ everyone else” kind of situation Fleetwood Mac went through, nor the “we hate Sting because he’s so smart and treats us like idiots” dilemma that brought ...

Pros: A great send-off to a great band...
Cons: ... that faded out too soon...
Summary: The band once known as Faith No More, now known as bunk since it no longer exists, never seemed to have it "easy like Sunday morning" as their cover of the classic Commodores diddy would suggest. In fact, there was usually some sort of...

Pros: When they're good, they're really good...
Cons: ...But when they're bad, they're just plain awful
Summary: With every new band that comes out and produces dire and unoriginal material, you could be forgiving for feeling sad at the demise of Faith No More who truly were one of the greatest and most innovative bands ever to make it. They could've ended...

Pros: Great range of music
Cons: Last album from a great band
Summary: This album is the final chapter in what has been a fantastic ride for Faith No More (sniff, sniff.....*sob*). Album of the Year is not what FNM were in their earlier years with 'The Real Thing' and 'Angel Dust', rather more of a move...

Pros: The band ends their career on a high note
Cons: The band ends their career
Summary: After years of tension and fighting, the band Faith No More called it quits not long after the release of "Album of the Year". Although I think about the band's breakup every time I listen to this album, it is still a pretty good recording. ...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
Summary: Faith No More was always one of my favorites, so maybe I am a little biased, but this album was awesome. It had all the versatility FNM was known for, from the metal of "Collision" to the haunting "Stripsearch" to the ballad...

Pros: Great band, Good Sound
Cons: Not nearly their best Album,
Summary: Personally, Faith No More/Mr. Bungle was one of those bands that changed my opinion of hard music and how it should be done. I bought this Album 2 years ago and to be honest it does not live up to it's name. You see... This is Faith No More's last album,...
