Angel Dust is the fourth album by Faith No More. Faith No More is an American rock band. Slash and Reprise Records released it on June 8, 1992. It is the band's last album with guitar player Jim Martin. It is the first album where singer Mike Patton helped write the music. Before this, he only wrote the words for the band's songs. For Angel Dust, the band wanted to make music that sounded different.[4] Their other albums had funk metal music on them. As a result, this album is more similar to experimental metal and alternative metal.
Angel Dust is the band's best-selling album. The band has sold over 2.5 million copies of it. It was number 10 on the US Billboard 200 music chart.[5] It is the band's only top 10 album on this chart. The first single on the album, "Midlife Crisis", is the band's only song to be number 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[6]
