I've been on a 90's kick recently. I almost forgot how fucking awesome FNM was until this tune came up on my 90's playlist (I know The Real Thing was released in '89). Even though Mike Patton does all the vocals, this song has the feel of a male/female duet ala Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life," and other songs like it. Tough-sounding, pseudo-rapping male, plus melodramatic female histrionics (or Patton hitting the high register). Man, these guys were influential! "Falling to Pieces" makes me want to dress up like Bowie or Prince and sing into a hairbrush in front of the mirror...or something less embarrassing... ;)
