Faith No More bassist Billy Gould recently reflected on the 40th anniversary of “We Care A Lot.” He says for him, “this might be the one that matters the most.”

Gould said the following:

“Once the music is recorded and it let out into the world, everything becomes subjective: is it better, is it worse, is this the band at its most intuitive or most naive? On a techical level, this one is far from our best work. But in terms of spirit, it’s right up there. A highly willful gang of presumptuous kids, not quite understanding who they were, but yet, clearly feeling where they need to go.

The band was unknown, so there were no outside expectations. But plenty of freedom and drive, and though we did argue a lot, we were united in the project on a core level..we spent money that we didn’t really have to create a vibe, and when it was finished, we looked at ourselves differently. So to me, this might be the one that matters the most, and set the stage for what was to follow.”
