41 MOTHERFUCKER
Faith No More
Beginning with a didgeridoo/ heartbeat, desultory clanking and piano and martial drums that were a recurring motif on 2015’s Sol Invictus (Faith No More’s first album since ’97), Motherfucker was a paean to a process of cultural toxic rearing (‘Force-fed more than we eat in the wild/Grazed on a mash that can suffocate a child’) whose victims will have their revenge: ‘Get the motherfucker on the phone’. As well as being a snarling declaration that FNM meant business, it also showed a group at ease with both their instruments and each other, showing no signs of rust or sclerosis despite their long lay-off.
