The Best Of Fear Factory: Parental Advisory - Fear Factory

Obsolete - Fear Factory

ations manufacturing robotic agents and machines to instil Fear into the populace. It all sounds a bit corny and tired, but the inclusion of storyline aspects and soliloquies inside the booklet, coupled with the distorted and incomprehensible sepia artwork, makes for a very fresh album that I became very involved in when reading through on the first listen. Obsolete is a concept album that has an unfolding plot linking the songs, but never seeming far-fetched or contrived. This structure is rarely attempted in the rock world, however Queensryche pulled it off with their successful rebellion album ?Operation: ...

Digimortal - Fear Factory

and the ones that stick in my memory most are 'No One', 'Linchpin', 'Acres of Skin' and 'Byte Block'. 'Byte Block' seems to be the track in the most classic Fear Factory style and will be the favourite of a lot of people.

The final track, 'Memory Imprints', is a bit arty and sounds like an end of set but before the first encore type of song i.e. it meanders along and then sort of fades away. Conclusion: I like this record, on a par with ...

Digimortal - Fear Factory

The latest offering from Fear Factory, and the very best. I bought this on the day of release (I was very indecisive... Fear Factory or (hed)PE... hmmm) and I was pleasantly suprised. Fear Factory are nothing new, and having listened to Obsolete, it was obvious they were the sorta band I could get into. However theres something about Obsolete that put me off, and I've now put this down to experience. Frankly, FF now have more experience, hence Digimortal is their finest album to date. The majority of the album works you into a frenzy with the raw power of What Will Become?, Digimortal and Linchpin all within the first 5 tracks. By the end of Linchpin it feels like ...
