Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote: "Bizarre little experiments pop up between songs: overlays of effects-treated guitars and the like, sort of a German analogue to the Mothers of Invention’s early sound adventures."[6]

Faust So Far es el segundo álbum del grupo alemán de krautrock Faust, allá por el año 1972. La grabación tiene un sonido más comercial y mucho más accesible que el disco anterior, y donde aparecen algunas de las canciones más importantes del grupo, como "It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl", "No Harm" o "I've Got My Car and My TV". Dejando en un segundo plano la experimentación con el sonido, Faust So Far se acerca mucho más a una grabación de rock convencional que a su primer disco, y en la que el ritmo y la estructura de sus canciones se asemejan al movimiento krautrock de la época.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
