King for a Day ... Fool for a Lifetime is the fifth studio album by Faith No More. It was published on 28 March 1995 and published was the first without longtime guitarist Jim Martin. It is the only album with guitarist Trey Spruance.
Formation and style
After Jim Martin was fired after differences on the tour to Angel Dust - there were rumors that his guitar had been partially removed from the mix of that album - was hired Trey Spruance with the guitarist from Mike Patton's band Mr. Bungle. Resulted in an album with producer Andy Wallace already known at that time. Although the music is not always the complexity of reaching predecessor, but it includes a diverse mix of styles from more aggressive, more experimental songs ( The Gentle Art of Making Enemies ) via the keyboard -dominated but also funk influenced Evidence to the Gospel ( Just a Man). The song title of the former piece is from the book The Gentle Art of Making Enemies ( Eng.: The equine art of making enemies ) by James McNeill Whistler taken.
