I love this cd and yes i would marry it. I was a huge fan of Ministry’s last two albums and this remind me of that same style. I wasn’t even much of a FF fan until this record, so to me this is in my top 3 for the year for sure. Also , I will be seeing them in Toronto, and it makes me laugh Divine Hersy is an opener, …DinoX2!

The main problem i have with this album is… the tracks do not mix well. Alot of these songs are the same things rehashed over and over, not very much depth at all same for the exception of a couple. I’m a very big fan of Fear Factory and have seen them 7 times live in concert. This album was a very big let down for me songwriting wise… heavy wise it is great.

Heh nice & to 36chimairafist. I agree your not the only one. I buy my albums to. Besides d/l them. I’ma look forward to listening to this. I love some fear factory. Most of their songs i’m into. I never heard their albums though. Just some songs off it. But this one i’ll give it a check & buy it. When its out.

Here’s the bottom line…Fear Factory have finally come out with an album that harkens back to the days of Demanufacture and Obsolete. With Archetype they tried…but something seemed to be missing, good as that album was. So…finally they come out with an album that does such a thing…and yet I still hear bitching and complaining (i.e. wtf and 024) about the stupidest shit. Complaining about solos?? Complaining that they are *ahem* “trying to hard to recapture the past”? Look, if this is the kind of blatant ignorance you have…then just stop listening to Fear Factory altogether. Obviously you are too much of a snob to even accept the fact this album is the best they have come out with in years. Complaining about solos…that just boggles the mind…thats just unexcusably stupid.

McDonald’s makes me puke, so I don’t like it in that way. But yes, awesome. As grooveXIII and Peace-1 said, this is the best since Obsolete. This beats the shit out of Transgression with a fat crowbar. Good balance of brutality/melody without being lame (I even like the “happy” sounding Final Exit). Designing the Enemy is the only “Fearshuggah”-ness I see here, and it’s good. Sounds like one of the softest songs for a while, then gets just nasty. Oxidizer, Controlled Demolition, Powershifter, Mechanize, all very very solid heavy Fear-fuckin’-Factory tunes. Worth checking out. 4/5

This album fucks shit up. True to form Factory at it’s finest. Back to the pissed off Obsolete days. I am lovin’ it like a McDonalds McChicken sandwich.

I’m with Johnny. I think there are just too many metal bands out there now and we’ve all heard it all before and now have this \wow me\ attitude towards every new album. Stop listening to metal then if you are sick of it and there is nothing new or exciting for you.

Whoever says this album is trash has something seriously wrong with their brain. I’ve never seen so many closed minded individuals. People bitch bitch and bitch about having another “Demanufacture”, they get it, then they bitch lol. It never seizes to amaze me. You guys sound like a bunch of school girls. The album is fantastic, I have been waiting for an album like this for awhile. Brutal, Fast, Melodic at the same time. Honestly I dint give a shit about their personal vendettas. Its none of my business, I’m here for the music not a soap opera show. That is all.

Seriously, on a system, the bass drums demolish your mind. This is a brutal album. They will never be what they once were, accept them for what they are doing now. This album is BRUTAL! They could had varied the songs a bit more but nevertheless, good jorb!

I’ve been a Fear Factory fan for 16 years and this new stuff is very impressive. If anything it’s super repetitive, but I’ll take over the past 2 releases… I like that Burton’s clean singing is more raw and ” shouty”.. not as corny operatic like before. A close 2nd behind ” Demanufacture”. ” Industrial Discipline” and ” Controlled Demolition” are my choice tracks.

I’ve always been a diehard FF fan. Their catalogue is diverse, but underpinned by a consistent trademark industrial sound that they helped invent. Even Transgression, their only weak release, contains songs that I love. I never turned my back on them.

And I love this album. Enough said.

I’ve heard about half of this album, and I’d have to agree with Wook’s review; it’s good and it is sad that all the drama will over shadow the album itself. I’m glad it’s here though, I don’t know if the world could handle another Divine Heresy album.

Nothing these guys do will be as good as Soul of a New Machine or Demanufacture. Don’t judge them based on that. If you don’t like them, you won’t like this album. If you do, then it’s not that bad. Congrats to FF on their comeback from recent mediocre releases.

fearfactorymusic.com completely updated with current tour/band info. if you go to the links section you find a link to their record label, and the link for the store is right at the top where it ought to be.

oh and look, three different options for ordering the new album are right there at the top of the store.

Has anyone found a current Fear Factory website? Everything i looked at of theirs hasn’t been updated for the new album release, no merch store, album packages or anything. Seems they aren’t trying to make any hype anywhere about the release of this album.
