When I first got it was at the end of 1989, I bought it in MC that now is consumed and some tracks are really spoiled. but whenever I listen to this album I always put this MC on, just to re-capture that moment when I was 17 and first listened to it. What a shock!!! I was used to classic heavy metal at the times, not something like this. best song Surprise! You're Dead! still one of the most violent I've ever heard. The Real Thing is what Faith No More and Mike Patton have been and still are for music history: genius!!!
