OVERALL:
     It is difficult to rate this album.  There are many different ways to look at it.  Die hard Bone fans might want it just for posterity, whereas those who just like Bone's popular tunes would probably find it a waste of their money.  Those who like some of the older style rap (in particular N.W.A) or who can appreciate how Bone developed from this album would probably enjoy listening to it, whereas those who are more accustomed to speed-of-light raps, highly thought out lyrics, complex engineered music, and the rest that you find with a veteran group, would probably be disappointed by this amateurish album.
     Compared with other Bone albums, this one comes out very poorly.  The music is probably the biggest noticable aspect which is lacking.  On most tracks, their is very little music at all--the lyrics drown it out most of the time (however, that was in some ways the style at the time).  The music is very simplistic consisting of a drumbeat and some melody, but not much, all of which is repeated.  Of course, in rap music the background is often looped, however the difference is that here the music is poor to begin with and very much lacking in variation.  The lyrics are decent, although you can tell that this is early Bone because they tend to all sound more alike without having developed their individual patterns or word preferences yet.  But, as with most Bone track, their lyrics are well thought out for the most part.
     Those are the facts.  My opinion?  Well, I like the album.  Despite its flaws, I enjoy it in its own right.  I appreciate that it is an early attempt and they had little experience and no money to fund a high-profile D.J.  Listening to it is almost like a "throw-back" experience--looking at their roots and the roots of some modern rap.  Simplicity is not always a con.

     Faces of Death was released twice.  There is an original version, and also a second release.  This second release is "Digitally Remastered" (although I have listened to both versions of the CD and I can't hear the difference), however that is the only real difference--all the songs and info are the same.  The cover is similar but does not look quite so crude (though still only low-budget drawings).  The cover of this second release has the Grim Reaper figure saying "B.O.N.E.  The Orignal Thugs!  Layzie * Krayzie * Bizzy * Wi$h" and pointing to their heads (their bodies aren't in this pic).  The "BONE Enterpri$e" logo looks better, too:  BONE is typewritten with a skull for the O and Enterpri$e is typewritten on a bone below it. 

     If you read through the "Thank You's" section of the Faces of Death leaflet you will find one of the meanings of the acronym B.O.N.E. . . . "To tha cops:  STOP!  Beating On Niggaz Everyday!!!"

     This album, although not featuring Flesh~n~Bone, does make reference to him and in fact states his relation to Layzie Bone.  In the song "Flow Motion," Layzie says "Ya fuckin' with me, yea it's on.  Cause I got Krayzie, and Bizzy Bone without a doubt, Wish Bone and my bigger brother Stan Howse." 

     On this album, Wish Bone spelled his name with a dollar sign instead of an "s".

In the "thank yous" section of this album, some names well-known to Bone fans are mentioned here:  Archie Blaine (producer for II Tru), Stan Howse (Flesh-n-Bone), Tony Tone (member of Poetic Hustla'z), Wally (mentioned in "Crossroad" and "Tha Crossroads"), and Mr. Boogie Nite (Boogy Nikke--member of Poetic Hustla'z.

    There is a possible reference to "Faces of Death" on the album "The Art of War."  In the song "Family Tree" Krayzie says "Now, come meet them faces of death." 

     Bone did a song on the Panther movie soundtrack called "The Points."  For this song, Krayzie reused part of his verse from "Flow Motion."
