i think the problem is that they have a bass player designing the cover. you saw what happened when a lead singer designed a satellite party album.

musicians are much better at music.

Album of the Year cover wasn't any good.. same with Angel Dust.. they don't have a very good track record....

Only the music matters in the end..

i liked the angel dust cover

album of the year not so much

i'm with you though. album covers don't mean much to me.

Shits me when they don't include the lyrics too. Fuckers.

Totally agree, the studio version sounds like it was recorded to be in the next Maddon football game or to play while the credits run at the end of a popcorn superhero movie.

creep wrote:this is what the band sent out. wonder if this is the actual cover. the name and title look really amateurish. since they are self releasing that can be expected i guess.

This is probably the first and only time I will ever see the cover this large.

Once I illegally download the album, the artwork will become a secondary piece of information that is only a 100 x 100 pixel square in my iTunes.

Just bought a ticket for the Portland show. Up front in the orchestra level, only paid $20 over retail. Pretty stoked!

Not SF, but that's okay, actually it was good I couldn't get tickets for the Warfield shows. Plans later made it so I'm not even going to be here.



Creep, I have been listening to Album of the Year non-stop, really like it now. I always didn't care for any FNM radio tunes, but really like their other stuff now. Do you have a suggestion of the next album I should check out, if I liked AOTY?



Sweeeet!

spot on.


That type of shit really bugs me.

I think Mike is great at what he does and I am a huge fan of his but I think his whole vibe when he started with FNM was clearly influenced by what Kiedis was doing. Not the rapping...the hair and clothing, stage moves etc...very next album and tour and he cuts his hair and his voice and delivery changes...

At the end of the day AK has a pretty comfortable life and just so happens to be in the RNR HOF...Patton is a guy I love but he's done some projects that you have to be out of your mind to listen to...I think AK is just really easy for some to dislike...

Sweeeet!

cool....i think you have to go for "king for a day" next. album of the year has a couple better songs but overall kfad is a better album in my opinion. i assume that you have heard much of angel dust but that should be the third album.

Brilliant album, that. They played it on its entirety in Chile in 2011, it was fantastic.



Here's the full show in quite good quality:

Thanks guys!

I know I've had this album in my queue to acquire for some time, but never got around to it. Listening to a couple riffs now, definitely good, going to add to my playlists.

Your ear for music definitely changes over time. I just have to remember that and go back sometimes to things I thought I didn't care for, like Angel Dust.....

Sorry to hear creep. Hopefully it's not because of some dumb work thing.

I was actually lucky not to get tickets for sf because I am out of town for a conference, which by pure circumstance was in Portland at the same time FNM were there......

Guess I was meant to see them.

Also looks like stubhub tickets prices have gone up since a few weeks ago. Now is probably the best time to sell at least.

Take it from the occasional scalper here...best time is usually right before the show...I'm glad they're doing an MSG gig...now I still have a chance! Presale tomorrow...yalls wish me luck...

Good Luck! Cool that Refused is opening, The Shape of Punk to Come is a good album

Funny, ES, you should mention "scalper", "best time right before the show", and "MSG" in the same sentence to me........


It was 13 years ago, I had recently moved to NYC and had two free tickets to the Rangers/Devils hockey game at MSG and I invited you to go because I didn't know anybody in NYC and I knew you lived there and you seemed cool online. You said you had to go look at rings or something and couldn't go. So I approached a few scalpers outside MSG right before the game to see if they were interested in a single ticket for $20-$30 and none were. I wasn't about to hang around midtown trying to pawn off a ticket to hockey fans (I had never seen a hockey game before), so my coke and hot dog had a seat all to themselves in the fourth row.

I remember that! I always appreciated the offer and yep, I was indeed getting married around that time and I think the rings were the last thing we had to secure before the wedding...I always appreciated the offer and trust that I've been to MANY MSG events with one single ticket that no one seemed to want...this also happened at a Met game last year...

Back on topic...managed to get the presale code...and GOT MY TICKETS to see Faith No More at MSG...I hate arena type gigs but they're one of my all time faves I never got to see back in the day and it's been about 3 years since my last rock show...

Congrats!

Got a few tickets for Austin. This is going to be a good spring / summer for shows.

ty...I'm just glad I'm on the floor up close to the stage...I HATED seeing Jane's from the nosebleed at MSG...

Looks like the album is out there now.

Anyone wanting to go to any of the three LA Wiltern shows next week - some GA Pit tickets dropped this evening on TM/Live Nation. I'm in the pit for Friday 4/24.

after my first listen i like the album ok. it seems to be the type of album that will grow on me after a few listens. every fnm album has a few turds on it and this one doesn't have any that stand out to me as turd worthy. the best song on the album is separation anxiety. i need a few more listens though...

I'm the only one here who thinks this band is completely overrated right?

Probably not just here, but in the whole world...
