This Is It: The Best of Faith No More
This Is It: The Best of Faith No More is a compilation by the American alternative rock band, put together by Rhino and released on 28 January 2003. It arrived on compact disc through Slash and Reprise alongside Rhino. Most of the tracks came from the band's earlier Slash and Warner releases, but "Arabian Disco" was licensed from Mordam Records and "The Perfect Crime" from Interscope Records, both through Warner Music.
The collection came out after the band's run of six studio albums, from We Care a Lot in 1985 to Album of the Year in 1997, and long before Sol Invictus appeared in 2015. For anyone wanting a single disc that gathers the group's career, it is a handy overview, and the two licensed songs add a little extra beyond the usual hits-package fare.
