The Real Thing
Faith No More
Meh, although groovy, it lacks the fatness and energy of more fortunate (in my opinion) records within the same genre. The mix becomes too sparse to my taste when the guitar is turned down – probably due to heavy metal influences with massive low-mid guitars and screamish vocals.

Power-pop is what killed heavy guitar music by making it refined enough to be popular and paving the way for all the post-grunge nickelback music we loved when we were teenagers. Compared to the early Hole albums this one is way lighter... and, oh my god, I hate the stillborn almost sample-like production.

Ambitious? Yes. Is it well produced? Maybe for the 70s, but overall I tend to agree with the guy who told them that's a poorly-made collage-like record. Although there are two great songs (Love of my life and Bohemian rhapsody), other songs are plain stupid. The only good in them is Freddy's vocal that sounds angry, energetic and transparent at the same time, that's badass.

This album is something! Given it was released in 1975, it is basically (correct me if I'm wrong) post-punk that was recorded before punk. Legit stuff that reminded me of some later records I sincerely love. Highlights: Hero and After Eight.

For some reason, the vocal speaks to me. I like it's ever-changing nature, going back and forth from low-key speak-singing to high-pitch wailing, switching between acoustic guitars and heavy fuzzy riffs, and so on. Interestingly, this album's lower BPM makes it even more relatable. Cool.

Black Holes and Revelations
Muse
Muse was my first ever rock show. Muse was the first band I discovered on my own, and I recommended it to all my friends. I remember when I first heard "Darkshines" and went bizarre playing it, on repeat, showing it to everyone around. I still wonder why the metalhead girl who all the guys were into, for some reason, did not like its fuzz-driven riff... Well, whatever.
The point is – Muse is a super important band to me that has largely introduced me to heavier music, and it's sad that 10+ years after I heard this album for the first time, I don't like it as much as I used to. Is it because this album foreshadowed what Muse was to become in a decade? Probably, and that's key to my relationship with the band: Muse music (sorry for the awful wordplay) appeals to teenage angst and frustration and high hopes I experienced on par with all the other 14-year olds who did not get the lyrics, but in retrospect, the songs appear... Pretty stupid? Naive? Overly pompous? Well, probably everything together, and I don't want to listen to it anymore. Sorry, Muse.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still super grateful to Muse. I enjoy (my memories of) the cyber-machinegun fuzz-n-whammy guitar riffs, distorted basslines, insanely produced vocals, guitar-keyboard lines... You name it. Unfortunately, for me, this is the last great Muse album, and that's what makes it more bitter than sweet.
