CD Faith No More – Falling To Pieces

Originally released in 1991 under London Records, this CD single captures Faith No More at the peak of their commercial breakthrough. Following the massive success of "Epic," "Falling To Pieces" solidified the band’s presence on MTV and modern rock radio, showcasing a more accessible and "instantly enjoyable" side of the band’s intelligent approach to rock music.

The track features the unmistakable hallmarks of the classic 1990s lineup: Mike Patton’s melodic anthemic choruses, Jim Martin’s powerhouse riffs, and the thunderous, impeccably timed rhythms of Mike Bordin and Bill Gould. Critics have highlighted the track for its infectious "Indecision... clouds my vision" hook, describing it as a "cryptic stomp-wail anthem" that helped bridge the gap between funk, metal, and alternative rock.

Key Highlights:

• Genre-Defying Sound: A masterclass in fusing funk, hip-hop, and metal into a cohesive rock format.
• Chart Success: One of the rare singles from The Real Thing era to break into the Billboard Hot 100.
• Era-Defining Performance: Captures the "youth and enthusiasm" of Mike Patton’s early years with the band.
• Production: Released during the band's transition into alternative icons, blending Roddy Bottum’s graceful keyboard textures with aggressive, industrial-tinged energy.
