ALBUM OF THE YEAR is Faith No More’s sixth full-length release. It demonstrates the same kind of straight-ahead approach as its predecessor, KING FOR A DAY, but also contains plenty of surprises. The album was recorded entirely at bassist Billy Gould’s home studio, and contains the highlights “Collision,” “Stripsearch,” “Last Cup of Sorrow,” “Naked in Front of the Computer,” and “Helpless.” Despite the emergence of numerous up-and-coming bands that were mentioning FNM as an important influence, the bandmembers amicably went their separate ways upon the completion of their 1997-98 tour.
