Interesting look at The begining....

First I would like to say that I own all of the FF cd's and this is the last one I picked up. I was very skeptical before my first listen because I had read many reviews on this site about this disc being more Death Metal then the rest of the FF cd's. But after a couple of songs I really started to get into the sound. After finishing the entire disc and a few more listens I actually liked this better then most of the other FF cd's except Demanufacture and Achetype. Its really amazing to hear how much they changed a few of the songs on later releases. I would recommend all FF fans give this disc atleast one listen i'd be willing to bet a majority will enjoy it....

The murky beginnings of Fear Factory

I became a fan of FF after listening to Obsolete. I collected every Fear Factory Release including this one. I found this CD (being a remastered release in 2001 by Roadrunner Records even though the album was recorded in 1990)too metalic for my liking and very harsh to listen to especially the first 8 songs.

However even here FF showed glimpses of what they would become - a industrial fusion band.

The last 5 songs of this CD are the best with Piss Christ showing the way. It was still good to hear the very beginnings of this young band.

this is the beginning

awesome from start to finish, 1990!, this was 10 years before its time , a masterpiece
