Product Description

Faith No More's 1989 release, "The Real Thing," is a genre-defying masterpiece that blends funk rock, alternative metal, rap metal, and grunge into a sonically diverse and captivating experience. This album is a testament to the band's innovative spirit and their ability to push musical boundaries.

With a runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes, "The Real Thing" offers a rich collection of tracks that showcase Faith No More's unique sound and lyrical prowess. From the funk-infused "Epic" to the heavy, grunge-tinged "War Pigs," the album is a journey through various musical landscapes. The inclusion of both studio and live tracks, as well as remixes and B-sides, adds depth and variety to the listening experience.

Standout tracks like "Falling to Pieces" and "Underwater Love" highlight the band's ability to blend different genres seamlessly, while the raw energy of live performances like "Surprise! You're Dead!" and "Underwater Love" captured at iconic venues like Brixton and Sheffield, bring an electrifying immediacy to the album.

"The Real Thing" is not just an album; it's a statement. It's a bold declaration of Faith No More's artistic vision and their refusal to be confined by genre conventions. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This 2023 Reissue LP is pressed on Red vinyl.

  • Decent Quality, Crisp Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    redqunpw5 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    This isn't the top-notch pressing out there, but it sounds really good considering what it is. I don't get the cassette comment someone made earlier, it's crisp, and the bass is nice, even if it could use a bit more.

  • Incredible Sound, Great Bass

    5 out of 5 stars
    libpzerovawlqo30 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    I've got nothing bad to say, it sounds absolutely incredible, and that extra disc is a really nice touch. You always hear the same old stuff about this album, no matter the pressing, and I reckon they just don't dig the original production/mix. Some folks seem to mix it up with a poor pressing or bad mastering job. Fact is, the low end is just less busy 'cause Billy's bass has a ton of upper mid that gives it that "tin-can" vibe, but this press ain't skimp on the bottom (or Bottum) where it matters! A top-shelf release, no doubt about it!

  • Promo Version Amazin' Fire

    5 out of 5 stars
    Peytluz7029 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This version is amazin'. I copped the Promo one and it's fire.

  • Vinyl Outshines Streaming Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    ducdabr19 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This vinyl copy is incredibly silent, with no noticeable distortion and absolutely no warping. I put it up against Tidal MQA through my BS Node, and let me tell you, these MOV reissues are seriously impressive. Streaming sounds decent but lacks the punch and depth of the vinyl. The drums and cymbals have so much more presence, the bass hits harder, guitar riffs are grittier, and Patton's vocals are crystal clear.•Pressing: 4.5Album: 9.22 stuckintherunout

  • Vinyl Pressing Quality Excellent

    5 out of 5 stars
    cwumcawt16 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This record appears to be quite scarce and it sounds fantastic on vinyl. The pressing is top-notch.
