They once produced brilliant work, then they experimented and fucked up (when nu-metal was big), and now without any new influence to syphon off (due to lack of ideas), they all decided to “go back to the roots”, bringing out aesthetically pleasing albums (heavier, faster, SOUNDING more like older, legendary albums etc.), but inevitably sounding like a bunch of old, fat, balding men wishing they were sounding like they did 15-20 years ago, yet sounding fake, artificial and BORING, much like poo in golden wrapping paper (while their experiments were just flat-out poo).

That being said, in FF’s case, everything until Obsolete was great, Digimortal was heavily watered down, Archetype was a great comeback (no really, the only time it did work), save for the second half of the CD, which was filler, then Transgression which fucking sucked majorly, and now this seems to be an improvement of sorts in the heaviness department, but at heart, still as souless, sterile and bland as Transgression (fuck, even Digimortal was more interesting as parts, even though it was gay as George Michael).

Fuck this album. Don’t be fooled. It is shit. FF is dead since Obsolete (though Archetype was indeed a proper revival until track 5-6, then it was also shit).

Of which this album is severely lacking in.

This is the best album Fear Factory made since Demanufacture. You’re obviously not a fan.

I’m questioning exactly which of us doesn’t know shit about metal and Fear Factory.

yes… after listening to Transgression I was ready for a good FF album.

Translation: Transgression is a piece of shit, and I was ready to hear something better.
