Yes, I also vote for KFADFFAL as the best. I'm not very reliable because as soon as I found out that "the guitarist from Mr. Bungle" was joining FNM, I already decided from the start that it was an absolute masterpiece and the masterpiece of FNM. Yet even he didn’t last long; it was a bit tough to be their guitarist: you got to unleash yourself on one song, and on the next one you were almost standing still. You’d stay stationary for the whole song... and then suddenly a solo, without even warming up. It must be hard to be told: "no, in this song you barely play anything." In fact, the last one they took, I can’t even remember his name, was just some dude who was brought in for looks and to create minimal problems. However, Album Of The Year suffered quite a bit because of it; it would have been a great album if it had serious guitar parts, instead of just two half-gay riffs. Add some chords to Ashes To Ashes, a central break and another solo, and it could become a Hit. Regarding the Bungle, I can only tell you that I hardly listened to Disco Volante for years, but I "understood" it only in 2000-2001 (4-5 years and one album later). For years it just sat there collecting dust; I would occasionally give it a try, but when I finally digested it, it entered my stereo and never left. Try it again every now and then; it's very complicated even for a trained ear—you need to listen to it a lot to make it yours. In my opinion, it's the best album of the 90s; I might enjoy listening to Kyuss or Company Flow more, but if I had to give a balanced judgment, I would say Disco Volante.

The most crossover song ever made, but no, in the end, it's all rock-based stuff that mixes (except, well, the ending). Any flying saucer song beats jizzlober in this competition. Mr. Bungle are THE crossover, and the others... they tried :D

No Saputè, I agree. Among other things, the curious thing is that Jizzlobber was the only track on this album where Martin collaborated (you can't help but wonder how the album would have turned out if they hadn’t fought). The rest of the riffs were written (and sometimes even played) by Gould, while Martin contributed two solos and four chords here and there (in fact, for me, this album is not very metal, especially because of the absence of the "metal section" of FNM). Martin is the one I like(d) the least from Faith, his Brujeria never really did anything for me... but I can still listen to Jizzlobber two or three times in a row even after 14 years. And I enjoy headbanging to it as well.

Kappa, I'm flattered... and sad to have missed the chance to marry a CD shop owner in the fabulous 90s. You would have gone bankrupt, and I would have gotten fat from too much time in front of the stereo. Maybe it was for the best :D

Beautiful Switzerland of the 90s: ganjah free and CDs at low prices. If I was born there, I would have died at 19, with a joint still stuck in my arm.

The story of the cassette goes like this: year '92, cassettes in the USA were already dead... but in Europe, they were still being pressed. So, the cassette was only printed in the European version, that is, with Easy. You are right, both you and Ocram. I totally agree on PanterA; the combo of "Domination" & "Walk" (and others, but these two really stand out) gave us more Nu-Metal than the entire discography of FNM. I absolutely agree on Sepultura, there's more Nu-Metal in Chaos A.D. & Roots than in the first of koRn.

How is it that you were running short? For years I paid for records with the import sticker with surcharges ranging from 3 to 10 thousand lire... is it different in Switzerland or are they infamous in Italy?

I join Fidia, and I want to point out another one, just as colossal if not more: "Land Of Sunshine," a magnificent acid rap. Land Of S. has no rhyme. Not even one. Rap can take on many forms, but if it has no rhymes, it's not rap. At least I see some improvement: the other day you told me that the FNM from this period were influenced by Grunge. Luckily, you realized that was a colossal bullshit. As for Easy, I know Ocram's version, and my AD on CD is without Easy (the good old "imported" sticker proudly displayed on the J.Case and the price I remember hovering around the equivalent of twenty thousand lire, which was a real blow for me as a middle schooler).

...And the damn piadinas requested from the stage, and insults thrown at Guns N Roses during a concert where they were opening for Guns N Roses, with an uprising from the audience who threw stuff on stage and him yelling "more! more! throw me the shit!" and when they threw a sandwich at him he picked it up and ate it, and with the Bungle in Rome during the California tour that started with a gratuitous "I eat the pope's shit!", and one of the FNM where he broke his hand doing who knows what with a glass bottle, and one of Tomahawk at Brixton Academy where he pissed on security, and an interview with Rolling Stones where instead of answering questions he started insulting two groupies... and a thousand others. Yes, yes, he's a lovable character. Giò, I think he spat at you because for "Shit!" you were supposed to respond with "Shit!", if no one answered he probably thought there were no fans of his in the room, and he took it out on you. He's cocky and sensitive, but not a little. Nice one about the Roulotte, great Sol.

<<both for my personal interpretation of his moustache, which could be the apostrophe... (Yes, I'm crazy).>> No, you’re just a loser. What moustache? Don’t you see it’s a vagina? -> (') <- The apostrophe is the clitoris, you pathetic gay. You mistake chicks for flies; your visual imagination leads you to not-so-beautiful places. Join Emo groups; at least some Emogirl will hook up with you so you stop seeing Moustaches instead of Chicks. Another little note: reviewing Zappa this way is abominable. Get into Emo, just relax.
