Faith No More's first album was We Care a Lot , released by Mordam Records in 1985. The band soon signed with Slash Records and released Introduce Yourself , their second album, in April 1987. Shortly afterwards the rest of the band fired the vocalist, Chuck Mosley, and replaced him with Mike Patton. [1] During the tour supporting their third album, The Real Thing , Faith No More recorded their only live album, Live at the Brixton Academy , and released their first hit single, "Epic". [2] Their fourth studio album Angel Dust was released in 1992 with their final two number-one singles, "Midlife Crisis", [3] and the Lionel Richie cover "Easy", [2] not included on the initial release of the album. Following the tour supporting Angel Dust and the departure of long-time guitarist Jim Martin Faith No More released their fifth studio album, King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime , in 1995. Their final studio album until 2015, Album of the Year , released on June 3, 1997, was their only number-one album. [4]

Faith No More disbanded in 1998 and their first compilation album, Who Cares a Lot? , was released later on in the same year with their final single before their disbanding, a cover of the Bee Gees song "I Started a Joke", followed by their similarly named music video compilation Who Cares a Lot?: Greatest Videos . In 2003 their second compilation album, This Is It: The Best of , was released followed by Epic and Other Hits in 2005, The Platinum Collection and the DVD compilation You Fat Bastards/Who Cares a Lot? in 2006 and the three-disc compilation album The Works in 2008. Two more compilation albums, The Very Best Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection and Midlife Crisis: The Very Best of Faith No More, were released in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

After an eleven-year hiatus, Faith No More announced a reunion in 2009. They released their seventh studio album, Sol Invictus , which debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200, higher than their past two studio albums, on May 18, 2015, and toured in support of it. [5]
