I think the stark colors of this album cover affected the way I heard it when I first listened. It sounded like just a straight metal album to me.
I had to listen to it a few times before I realized that it had a lot of tonal/genre variety just like most FNM-Patton albums.
Could be! I mean, I think this is also a subtler album than "Angel Dust" in that you're not repeatedly slapped across the face with striking orchestration and off-the-wall flourishes.
Those are still there on "KFaD", but tucked in for repeat listens. Mind you, I'm not saying one approach is better than the other, but... variation!
I think also this direction was what frustrated Jim Martin when they made "Angel Dust", and his departure is pretty evident on here.
Music of my youth ;-)
Mine too... which is one reason I didn't put the release year in the headline 😂
::: Now going to also have to get the vinyl version. Just looked it up, March 1995. The Real thing would fit better for my "youth" ;-). How one starts to misremember/-sort things... :::
March 1995
Oh man. And I saw them live on the following European tour.
