Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Faith No More was formed in 1982, but it took them a long time to get their lineup straight. After going through numerous lead singers (including Courtney Love), they found Mike Patton, who took the band to a completely different level, particularly on the single "Epic" from The Real Thing. Angel Dust is the follow up to that album, the first on which Patton has a say in the songwriting...and it's great. Patton's vocals are frightening, Jim Martin's guitar is powerful, but it's the keyboard work of Roddy Bottum that really give this album its edge...at a time when keyboards were so not cool. Every song sounds like it's going to explode into shrapnel. Highly aggressive and yet very listenable stuff. "MidLife Crisis", "Land Of Sunshine" and "Everything's Ruined" are highlights. The album ends with a straightforward reading of the theme from "Midnigtht Cowboy".
Unfortunately, Martin left after this album, and Faith No More was never able to build on what they did on this album. It still sounds great today, though. Well worth having.

What makes this album particularly great is that it's the emergence of Mike Patton's creativity. The record retains some of Faith No More's classic funk-rock sensibility while incorporating some humorous/experimental metal and other elements. I feel this album was as important to 1992 as Kid A was to 2000 (or Dark Side of the Moon was to 1973).

Really don't understand the hate for this album on this website, the more I look back at the 90s decade for albums, this is one of the few that sticks out the most in terms of classics.

One of the darkest albums ever made, yet sonically crafted and assembled the album talks of drugs violence hate sexuality sex genocide. It's all bought here in this fantastic piece. And definitely one of the best 90s albums. Mike patton's vocals along with key songwriting and killer riffs gives this a memorable listening expierience!

This is probably Faith No More's most complete album. The Real Thing is their most popular release but this one is much better as a whole.
