Query: Ain't nothin' like "The Real Thing" baby.

This is one of those albums I wish I could hear again for the first time, much like "Mothers Milk" or "Nothing's Shocking". 16 years after it's release, I'm still blown away and left waiting for something as good to come along. Be it rap/metal or just alternative, I wont call it the first of it's genre, but I will call it easily one of the best. What a difference Mike Patton makes. This had three big singles off it, "From Out Of Nowhere", "Falling To Pieces", and the trend-setting "Epic". However, what makes this disc so sweet are the remaining cuts. "Surprise! You're Dead!" and "The Real Thing" are two of my favorite FNM songs ever. Then the second half of the album is nearly as great, with a Sabbath cover to boot. One thing even more amazing, is that the album which came afterwards is even better.
