I’m a huge Faith No More fan. So naturally I have to go with ‘The Real Thing’. It’s true that a lot of people dismissed them as a one hit wonder after ‘Epic’ - which is unfortunate considering the band’s subsequent releases I think better showcased their creative genius and Mike Patton’s vocal acrobatics.
In terms of production, The Real Thing is probably their thinnest sounding album (as were a lot of albums of the late 80’s.)
But it definitely softened the ground for the massive breakthrough that alternative rock would achieve in the decade to follow.

Definitely! And good point on the (relative) thinness of the production.
I’m a huge fan of Faith No More! Same as you again - voted and selected it as my bracket choice.
