Unfortunately, this album doesn't seem to be available on Amazon MP3 even though most of their other work is on there. Not sure why.

When I was a kid, I would always hear Faith No More's Epic. I think my sister, who was in high school right as I was becoming cognizant, left MTV on a lot. I saw a lot of George Michael's burning leather jacket in the Freedom video. I saw a lot of Bjork's fish flopping around in the video for Epic. I remember Sinead O'Connor sweeping the VMAs. I was five! How crazy.

When I was 12, I got an advance copy of Album of the Year from a friend of my sister's who worked in a record store, and I vaguely remembered Epic, so I listened to it. Can't say that I liked it all that much, but about four years later I got really into The Real Thing and now I'm one of those crazy people who likes mostly all of Mike Patton's solo work, so expect to see some of that shit (Tomahawk, Fantomas, Peeping Tom) around here sometime.

Faith No More made an awesome music video for this song (with Jennifer Jason Leigh in it), which caused me to eventually go watch Vertigo and fall madly in love with Kim Novak.

Amazon Note: This is another one of those albums that you can get shipped to you for less than $4 if you buy it used from Amazon's secondary sellers.
