ANGEL DUST is the 4th album by FAITH NO MORE (2nd featuring Mike Patton on vocals). It was released on June 8, 1992 (blessed be the day!).

It is considered being one of the most influential records of the 1990s up today.

Originally, the band intended to record 19 songs, finally ended up with 17, some of them were not officially titled at that time, and here we go with the working titles:

* Shuffle/Triplet (Caffeine)

* Madonna (Midlife Crisis)

* Macaroni and Cheese/Country Western Song (RV)

* Arabic (Smaller and Smaller)

* F Sharp (Kindergarten)

* I Swallow (Be Aggressive)

* Japanese (A Small Victory)

* Action Adventure (Crack Hitler)

* The Sample Song (The World is Yours)

* The Carpenters Song

* The Funk Song

SPECIAL TRACK NOTES (found on Wikipedia)

# The lyrics for "Land of Sunshine" include lines from fortune cookies and Scientology's personality test

# "Caffeine" as well as "Land of Sunshine" were written while Mike Patton was doing a sleep deprivation experiment

# "Smaller and Smaller" was never performed live, and the only time "Malpractice" was performed live was during The Dillinger Escape Plan/Mike Patton collaboration.

# "Malpractice" contains a sample of Dmitri Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8, as performed by the Kronos Quartet.

# "Be Aggressive", written by Roddy Bottum, is about "swallowing" during oral sex. Roddy later stated "It was a pretty fun thing to write, knowing that Mike was going to have to put himself on the line and go up onstage and sing these vocals."

# The intro to 'Crack Hitler' features a sample of Iris Lettieri - a Brazilian actress whose voice Mike Patton had become enamoured of whilst on tour - reading a flight announcement. (Iris Lettieri has been the voice of announcements at Galeão/Antonio Carlos Jobim Airport in Rio for over three decades).

# In South Korea the vinyl album had several tracks cut through tough censorship. The tracks are in a different order, and "Caffeine", "RV" and "Crack Hitler" are omitted. "Midnight Cowboy", is, however, included, despite having been left off the original US and UK versions.

# The tracks "Crack Hitler" and "Midnight Cowboy" are omitted in Holland, Brazil, Colombia and some UK pressings
