"Small Victories: The True Story of Faith No More is the definitive biography of one of the most intriguing bands of the late twentieth century. Written with the participation of the group's key members, it tells how such a heterogeneous group formed, flourished, and fractured, and how Faith No More helped redefine rock, metal, and alternative music. The book chronicles the creative and personal tensions that defined and fuelled the band, forensically examines the band's post-punk wastland, and charts the factors behind the group's ascent to MTV-era stardom."--Inside flap.

Review of 'Small victories' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This was quite good, though I don't have a clear take on how interesting it'd be for someone who wasn't already a fan of the band. While there are a few minor sections that feel like the author was trying to get a tad overscientific, for the most part it was well written and flowed great.

For a band with as complicated a history as FNM, he covered all of the various personnel changes with aplomb.

And don't let the "dates read" fool you, when I had attention to give this book I ate it up. It was a fast read (even if I didn't read if quickly).
