I would say its a great comeback album, and its 100% fmm.

I'm getting this tomorrow when my balls have healed a little.

I'm waiting on my gold copy to arrive....

Holy fuck, these guys murdered it on Fallon. Patton is fuckin' gettin' it. Goddayum.

Watching their 2009 show here in argentina, listening to sol invictus and king for a day....man, i just adore this band.

opinion might change but I get the impression this sucks.

No doubt you'll have an amazing time - they were outstanding during the Soundwave/Westfest tour.

Yea, it lacks grunge!

Fucking blown away by this album. Quite a few top tracks, and solid all round. Matador is massive!

Still getting into it but this one ends in massive fashion. Matador and From The Dead are tits!

No, it lacks musicianship. It's just noisy. I love King For a Day, Album of the Year, and Angel Dust more than any grunge. Faith No More was a great band. But this is a typical comeback record by a bunch of 40-50 year olds. I do think Roddy's contributions are nice though.

I only heard Spirit for the first time in the last few months (with patton on vocals) and I thought it was one of the new songs. Anyway that song is superior to anything on the new record.

You're a hard man to please, Dev.

I just gave this my first full listen on YouTube - fucking great album!

I wanted to like this so bad. I'm really hoping I will come around on it, but I don't think I will.

It's a corker of a record!! It's better than KFAD and TRT imo. Just shaded by AD ! I'll go as far as saying that it's a monster! Nothing is wasted here, not even a minute. And most comeback albums sound drab, dull and uninspiring but can't say that about this record!

Matador
Seperation Anxiety
Cone Of Shame
Sunny Side Up
Black Friday
Motherfucker

All fit comfortably in the FNM canon!

I'm delaying until I can hear it all at once. I can't wait though.

Early impressions: I'd put this in okay-to-good territory. It's not significantly better than, nor does it even sound particularly different from, Tomahawk's Oddfellows, which is pretty disappointing. I think Dev has a point about the music - to me, this feels like a lot of mostly unremarkable music that Patton is trying his hardest to elevate through his commendably passionate vocals (but even those are marred by Patton's usually bad lyrics). I mean, imagine listening to this album without any vocals. Would any of the music be memorable?

I think the best tracks are "Superhero" and "Separation Anxiety", which bring some needed urgency and ferocity. I can't believe they don't push the piano and keyboard harder, since that was always a huge part of what made FNM's sound so distinct. The only song that sounds uniquely FNM to me is "Superhero", and it's almost entirely for that reason. The rest sounds like pretty typical Patton rock.

We'll see how it goes as I give it further listens. It's not bad or anything, it just seems kind of limp.
