Common card · No. 201131

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 guitarist Jon Hudson, and was their last studio album before their eleven-year hiatus from 1998 to 2009.

Three singles were released from the album: "Ashes to Ashes", "Last Cup of Sorrow", and "Stripsearch", all of which had accompanying music videos. 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.

"Last Cup of Sorrow" was the only single from the album to chart in the United States, after their previous album King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime failed...
