Album Notes & Community Reviews

Faith No More's sophomore release refines their eclectic, boundary-pushing blend of heavy metal guitars, slap-bass funk rhythms, and abrasive post-punk keyboards. Frontman Chuck Mosley delivers deeply sarcastic, semi-rapped vocals over highly rhythmic, unpredictable song structures. 'Introduce Yourself' is a playful, energetic pioneer of alternative metal that brilliantly weaponizes satirical humor and groove.
