A curious coda from a truly peculiar bunch. Who Cares a Lot is the swan song of the most engaging band to come to the fore when the late-'80s and early-'90s funk-punk hordes defiled the land. What set the San Francisco-based quintet apart all the lukewarm Chili Peppers of the time was powerful musicianship (few hard-rock bands could match them onstage in their Real Thing prime) and a contrary disposition. When the sweeping "Epic" briefly transformed FNM into MTV darlings, they responded by recording their most challenging work, the jarringly unpredictable Angel Dust, a commercial lapse from which they never quite recovered. Then there was their unsettling taste for easy-listening sounds, rather too generously evidenced on this best-of package by Lionel Richie's "Easy," Bacharach and David's "This Guy's in Love with You," the Bee Gees' "I Started a Joke," and "Theme from Midnight Cowboy." Their adrenaline-drunk fans never knew whether to cry or laugh. Of course, their trademark extreme alt-rap-metal forays are also in evidence, from 1987's "We Care a Lot" (a puncturing parody of altruistic star sing-alongs) to the half dozen turn-out-the-lights tracks from 1998. Ultimately, no one ever found solace in Faith No More, but, as Who Cares a Lot affirms, they were often beyond belief. --Steven Stolder

Have FAith.......2007-07-02

This is a 2-disc collection of FNM tunes. Definitely can be divided into parts. The great tunes are on the first half of the first disc: We Care a Lot, Epic, Falling to Pieces, and Midlife Crisis. The second half has some good stuff: Digging the Grave and Gentle Art of Making Enemies are like thrash metal, with the later tune also reminiscent of Limp Bizkit at times. Evidence is almost an easy listening tune. The second disc is much shorter than the first, less than half an hour, and is pretty forgettable. So 4 stars, largely on the strength of disc one.

I F@#$ING Care!!!!!.......2007-02-22

WHY WASNT "THE WORLD IS YOURS" ON ANGEL DUST???
ANYWAY BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN!!

You can go wrong with OZZY, but can't miss with FAITH NO MORE.......2006-11-13

Look at all these big namers who can't handle success and they just fall apart after a brief spark or a couple of great records. Heck, Ozzy wrecked his best albums by re-recording the bass and drums just because he (or Sharon?)had a hissy with the underpaid, underappreciated band members. With Faith No More, you have steady growth, from one great record to another leap of gut-punch rock as good as and BETTER than 75% of the bands out during AND after their time. Why waste your money on anything lesser--these your boys!

The band that changed Heavy Metal and Hard Rock forever.......2004-09-01

Faith No More changed the path of heavy music with their very unique style full of overwhelming versatile sounds they were capable of play hard rock, heavy metal, funk, pop , soul, very heavy songs and even ballads they were that unique and Mike Patton surelly can be described as a genious and all that mixture of sounds is included in this cd , you have to listen this compilation so you realize whos responsible for the progresion of 80s and 90s sound

One Last Cup Of Faith No More.......2002-03-17

Like another reviewer of this compilation, I too will miss Faith No More. I will miss them dearly in fact. I remember vaguely when I was first exposed to FNM, it must have been about 12 years ago. That would have made me 12 years old...! The point I am trying to make is that FNM was a major part of many people's lives. If you are now in your mid to late 20's, you would have been in the age group that was probably heavily exposed to this music. As a result, it is not just the music that is an important factor in the extent to which individuals will miss FNM (that said, it was great music!), it is the meaning those individuals attached to the songs that FNM played. I met friends over FNM, passed exams over FNM, broke up with girlfriends over FNM etc, etc, as did countless others. A generation and myself learnt nearly every single lyric that Mosley and Patton ever recorded. These are the reasons why so many people feel that they have personally lost something that was held so dear to them. All of those memories, all of that vicarious learning, all of that meaning. I think this compilation does a reasonably good job of covering the deep tracks of the legacy that FNM left behind. It takes you through the early Mosley days through to the espousal of Patton. Patton's voice appears to drop in pitch dramatically from the "Real Thing" album relative to all subsequent albums. When I first heard "Angel Dust", I must admit, I felt slightly disappointed with the changed voice and the changed sound. However, with time I learnt to divorce myself slightly from the more commercial (I would argue) "Real Thing" FNM sound to appreciate this new darker sound, which seems to have pervaded into all of the successive albums. Of course, the rest is well covered elsewhere as the band produced two more fine albums without their original guitarist (whether he left or was ousted is not mutually agreed upon by James B. Martin and the rest of Faith No More), subsequent to which they suddenly broke up. I briefly met FNM once, just after they had released "Angel Dust". I was surprised to see that Patton had completely changed his physical appearance, a new look he would pretty much retain for the rest of his career with FNM. The others looked exactly the same as I had remembered. All of the members, contrary to the media reports, seemed extremely polite and subdued. Perhaps they had seen one too many airports, or maybe they were tired from touring or something at that particular time. I remember telling Patton how much I admired his work, to which he coyly replied that he was "flattered". As a musician myself, FNM have been a major influence. They will be sadly missed for their wonderfully open minded approach to music, their idiosyncrasies and for what they meant to their fans.

The End of an Era.......2000-11-04

Who would of thought that one of the most experimental, and influencial heavy metal bands of the past two decades would have broken up and relased a greatest hits album. Not me. I didn't even know they had any hits before or after Epic, a song that more resembles a noose than it does the band. They were a bunch of unknowns until then, and after they started experimenting crawled back to where they came from. I miss them, Just knowing that no more albums will be released makes me sad. If you don't know the band that well, pick this up. You can hear the humble begining's to the bitter sweet end.

Faith No More's not-so greatest.......2000-09-16

This album is perfect for any casual fan. As a long-time fan, the hits are simply not enough. The album appeases most appetites, but the best songs they recorded were definitely not "Small Victory" or "Introduce Yourself," and should have been left off. The "Bonus Tracks" are hardly bonus at all, as FNM took a number of instrumentals recorded in a basement, placed them on a disc and called them "new" to get out of their 5 album contract. However, as a Greatest Hits package, including their radio-played songs which were never played enough, a Burt Bacharach cover and a song left off the "Album of the Year" session, this disc is definitely worth it to anyone who does not already own any of their brilliant albums.
