Death to Chuck Mosely. Fellow reviewer Usman (aka would be ruler of the world) and I have discussed the vocals at great length.
Me: WOW, THE REAL THING IS NOT A GOOD ALBUM IN THE MIX
Usman: :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usman: WHAT ABOUT TO THE MAX?
Me: TO THE MAX AS WELL
Me: THIS ALBUM IS PRETTY BAD
Usman: :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: THE VOCALS SOUND LIKE THEY PICKED UP A DRUNK BUM AND BOUGHT HIM A BOTTLE OF VODKA TO SING
Usman: hahahahahahahahahaha
Usman: POPOV?
Me: NOTHING FINER FOR THIS BASTARD
Usman: hahahahahaha
Mediocre heavy metal riffs mixed with really cheesy keyboard music and drunken hobo vocals does not equate to a good release. The album starts off with the promising 'Faster Disco' and ends with a bang (not the good kind) with 'Spirit'. Upon further inspection 'Faster Disco' and 'The Crab Song' are pretty good songs, but they really cannot save this album from being a turd. I will give the band kudos for being a little experimental with the basslines and adding some funk and rap elements. It wins them some creative points, I suppose - but at the same time they fail pretty miserably. If you enjoy crappy drunken rap and really lame drum machine driven choruses, then perhaps this album might find its way into your pants.
Surprisingly, before listening to this album, I had never heard a Faith No More album before. I suppose you could say it was a bad FIRST IMPRESSION. GET IT? Because the album is called Introduce Yourself? I kill me. The lyrics are pretty funny when they want to be, though. That's another thing that I enjoyed. Going through the lyrics was probably the most entertaining thing about this turd.
Final rating: 3/10
I will never listen to you in your entirety ever again, 'Introduce Yourself'.
