Released on Faith No More's 1990 album Angel Dust, 'Everything's Ruined' stands as a defining track of the band's shift toward alternative metal and industrial rock. The song features the group's signature blend of heavy, distorted guitars with melodic, hook-driven vocals, showcasing Mike Patton's versatility as a frontman. It captures the chaotic energy and introspective themes that characterized the album, reflecting a period where the band was experimenting with darker sonic textures while maintaining their core melodic sensibility. As a staple of their discography, the recording exemplifies the band's ability to merge aggressive instrumentation with accessible songwriting, cementing their place in the late 80s and early 90s alternative rock landscape.
