Claude says:You kept coming back to Epic across seven years, and there's something fitting about that—the one track that proved Faith No More could make a hit out of pure weirdness, all jazzy basslines and Mike Patton's shapeshifting vocals in 1989. The Real Thing arrived in '92 as their major-label moment, heavier and more confident than the debut, built for a generation that wanted their metal unmoored from rules.
