Official Faith No More Licensed Product. If there's anything no one can blame Faith No More for, is playing it safe. Even after all the success from "The Real Thing", the band decided to take a turn, for something more meaningful for the new formation. Mike Patton would now play a bigger part in the band's identity and writing, and that meant a different path. It wasn't a consensual move, though. Jim Martin was unsure and their label though it was "commercial suicide". The 2.5 million copies sold worldwide, prove them wrong.
