Faith No More - King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime lands here as a double LP Argentine import, and the 1995 album remains the band's most gloriously unpredictable ride.

Recorded after guitarist Jim Martin's departure, it was produced by Andy Wallace, with Mr. Bungle's Trey Spruance stepping in on guitar for the sessions. The upheaval seemed to free everyone up. Mike Patton, by now fully in command of the band's identity, used the record as a playground for every voice in his arsenal, from velvet croon to throat-shredding scream.

Get Out opens at full sprint, a burst of punk fury that barely lasts two minutes. Evidence shifts into smooth, late-night soul, Patton purring like a lounge singer with a secret, while Ricochet rides a muscular, chugging groove.

Digging The Grave hits with brutal, stop-start precision, and the album keeps swerving from there: bossa nova lilt, gospel-tinged finales, hardcore detonations and jagged funk-metal all share the same running order. It shouldn't hang together, but somehow it does.

Long overlooked next to Angel Dust, King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime has grown into a fan favourite and a cult classic. Spread across two discs, it rewards loud, attentive listening.
