This Is It: The Best of Faith No More contains 19 signature Faith No More tracks from albums and singles released between 1985-1997. It includes four rarities & the then out-of-print soundtrack cut "The Perfect Crime" from the soundtrack to the movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. It was released by Slash/Rhino Records in 2003.
This collection is notable for being one of the only, among numerous Faith No More compilations, to include material directly from their independently-released debut album We Care a Lot. It also covers material throughout the remainder of their career (at the time), making it one of the more comprehensive retrospectives on the band.
