Transcription

Background

When asked about the song, Billy Gould replied:

The bulk of that song was written the first week. We arranged it here, and then we sent Patton a tape. He was in Italy, but he came up with the lyrics and the singing right away. It was one of those songs that just clicked -- one of those songs that we do most naturally. That's our sound.

— Billy Gould[1]

Reception

In his June 1997 review for Album of the Year, Joshua Sindell of Phoenix New Times characterized the song as being a "Soundgarden stomp flirting with a New Romantic-like, arms-outstretched melody."[2]

The Guardian ranked it as the tenth best Faith No More song in 2014.[3] 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."[3] When Consequence of Sound ranked all 126 Faith No More songs in 2015, they placed "Ashes to Ashes" at number ten.[4] However, a July 1997 live version of the track from the "Stripsearch" single appeared towards the bottom of the list.[4] Louder Sound listed it as the eighth best Faith No More song in 2018.[5] The order of their list was chosen by English funk metal band The Final Clause of Tacitus.[5]

Australian radio station Triple J ranked it 31st on their annual "Hottest 100" list for the year of 1997.[6]

Covers

In 2021, the electronic duo Last Survivor released a synthwave cover of the song.[7] The following year, American progressive rock band Anova Skyway released a cover of the song on their EP Reset.[8]
