Faith No More - Motherfucker FLAC album

Roddy's low piano tones employed quite like he did with Another Body Murdered, giving the track an immediate air of foreboding producing a very dark atmosphere even before Puffy's military drum rolls add a tension to the ominous nature of the track. Roddy handling vocals in a similar way he approached the verses from "The Hibernates" from Imperial Teen's 2012 album "Feel The Sound" with a more than a hint of the verses from Butthole Surfers' 1996 single "Pepper". A nice touch. When the band returned from their split with Peaches and Herb's "Reunited", Roddy whilst not entirely convincing was still a great match with Patton and the same goes here, they marry well and sets up Patton's chorus superbly.

The track seems to carry on from Pristina, the band's last track on their last album fairly well with the track not being so different to the chronological last effort as for it to appear alien or out of place. Hudson's guitars using a similar tone with similar licks, the track would not be out of place on Album of the Year and in parts truly evokes memories of the better parts of the album, Stripsearch, Paths of Glory, Pristina and to a lesser extent Ashes To Ashes and Helpless. that said many have already said it seems like a King For A Day sort of track which again is an achievement, as their albums have little in common with one another, and if this seems to bridge those gaps, then that's not a bad thing.

One thing it isn't, is radio friendly which is due to content rather than the actual music, which whilst not an all out rock track has hooks that really dig into the flesh. The track keeps you wanting to repeat it and as a hard rock fan growing up in the 90's its so damned refreshing to hear them back and on form. It's a pure joy to hear that the track does not disappoint, that it excites and whets the appetite for the album next spring.
