''The Guardian'' ranked it as the tenth best Faith No More song in 2014. They wrote, "''Album of the Year'' sounded unfinished and is barely listenable. But one track, 'Ashes to Ashes', stood out. It is a moody rocker, with a memorably anthemic chorus that soared thanks to one of the finest vocal performances of Patton's career." When ''Consequence of Sound'' ranked all 126 Faith No More songs in 2015, they placed "Ashes to Ashes" at number ten. However, a July 1997 live version ...

Everything's Ruined
"Everything's Ruined" is a song from American rock band Faith No More's fourth studio album, ''Angel Dust'' (1992), and the final single to be released from the album's original track listing. The single was released on November 9, 1992, and charted at number 28 in the United Kingdom. Music video The music video, directed by Kevin Kerslake, features the band (and occasionally four children) singing, blue screened over stock footage ranging from wildlife shots, baseball games and a wide selection of other clips. The band at times interacts with the clips, like fleeing from a seemingly-giant tortoise. Billy Gould addressed the intentional cheapness of the video in a 20th anniversary Q&A on the Faith No More Blog: ''The Videos for "Midlife Crisis" and "A Small Victory" seem to high concepts and big budgets while the video for "Everything's Ruined" does not. Why was it that the video for "Everything's Ruined" (arguably the best song on the album) was so goofy and easy to produce?'' ...
