Faith No More was one of the most direct links between 1980s college rock and heavy metal, a pairing that helped give way to the broad "alternative metal" genre in the '90s. Formed in the early '80s, the San Francisco band bridged musical styles with gleeful abandon, as Roddy Bottum's New Wave-inspired keyboards and Jim Martin's metallic guitar riffs bounced off of bassist Billy Gould's funk lines and drummer Mike Bordin's tribal percussion.

This well-selected 2003 collection presents a concise overview of the group's output, from early tracks featuring Chuck Mosely, a hopelessly off-key--but admirably energetic--singer (nicely showcased on the rambunctious hit "We Care a Lot"), to the group's heyday with the mercurial frontman Mike Patton. Starting with the revved-up "From Out of Nowhere" and the genre-hopping, omnipresent hit "Epic," THIS IS IT focuses on the band's Patton years, moving into the more aggressive and experimental territory of '92's ANGEL DUST (the seething "Midlife Crisis") and on to later albums, throwing in a few rarities for good measure. While FNM's influence on nu-metal has been acknowledged, this 19-song compilation also points the way towards Patton's adventurous later projects (Fantomas, Tomahawk, et al).
