Album of the Year is the sixth studio album by American rock band Faith No More, released on June 3, 1997, by Slash and Reprise Records. It is the first album to feature the band’s current guitarist Jon Hudson, and was their last studio album before their eleven-year hiatus from 1998 to 2009. Album of the Year has been described by AllMusic as being “more straightforward musically than past releases.” The album experienced success in some foreign countries, including Australia, New Zealand and Germany. It managed to top the charts in Australia and New Zealand, in addition to going Platinum in Australia. In the United States, however, it continued the band’s declining critical and commercial response. Three singles were released from the album: “Ashes to Ashes”, “Last Cup of Sorrow”, and “Stripsearch”, all of which had accompanying music videos.
