Introduce Yourself (CD)

San Francisco's Faith No More began dispensing their funk-laden thrash metal in the early 1980s with vocalist Chuck Moseley. When tensions led to the firing of Moseley, the band found a fitting replacement in Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton. Their classic-rock guitar riffs, slap-happy bass playing, atmospheric keyboards, and tribal drumming, alongside Patton's vocal gymnastics, proved to be a winning combination. FNM's 1989 album, THE REAL THING, became a surprise hit the following year. In 1992, the group released their masterpiece, ANGEL DUST, and embarked on a world tour with Gun N' Roses and Metallica. After the departure of guitarist Jim Martin, Faith No More released two more albums and called it a day in 1998. Since then, band members have gone on to numerous other projects, most notably Patton's Fantomas and Tomahawk collaborations.

After Faith No More's debut WE CARE A LOT created a buzz for the band and the hard work on that album paid off by getting signed to Slash/London, the group's major-label debut, 1987's INTRODUCE YOURSELF, put the proof in the pudding. Both the songwriting and playing are focused this time around, as the band continues to enhance a number of musical styles.

The album contains a re-recorded version of the band's early anthem "We Care a Lot" (Faith No More's first MTV video), as well as the barnstorming title track. Other highlights included the melodic "Anne's Song," as well as "Faster Disco," "Chinese Arithmetic," and the brutal "The Crab Song." The band's star was obviously rising with this album even despite tensions between singer Chuck Mosely and the rest of the band, which boiled over after the tour was completed, resulting in Mosely's departure shortly thereafter.
