This better be good....

I'm hearing good things about it....

 

[SculptedCold]

I can't wait man.....apparently Dino's departure was....'engineered' so that the rest of FF could go back to their older sound as opposed to the more mainstream leanings of Digimortal.....so...yeah, hopefully it'll kick ass.

The Nirvana cover makes me more than just a little suspicious though....

[ed] I love the album and track names.

 

[Cyanide]

well let's hope they get back to their old demanufactured sound

 

[Oceanic Motion]

If i don't hear jackhammer staccato riffs and double bass in the first song i'll be a very sad chap.

I used to love Fear Factory...Demanufacture is one of my most treasured albums..it really opened the doors for me to the world of metal. Soul of a New Machine was great too. Digimortal was a HUGE disappointment though. The rap song allowed me to totally give up on FF as a whole...I hope this new one will really be a come back..

 

[SculptedCold]

Yeah, the low points on Digimortal really make the whole thing feel like a slump, but to be honest, there's still some awesome material on it; Hurt Conveyor, Damaged, Strain Vs Resistance, Byte Block, Linchpin........ yeah, they're not quite as epic as anything from Demanufacture, but they're still pretty intense, and the electronics are as harsh and cold as ever.

Great band but a Nirvana cover?

Great band but a Nirvana cover?

It's a step up from Gary Newman, I'll tell you that!

 

[SculptedCold]

Yes, my thoughts exactly. =) Its quite a contrast considering Wolbers' statements declaring it to be a return to older form, and of Herrera's drumming being more intense than Demanufacture's.....

In what way at all does even a heavy rendition of a Nirvana song fit onto an album like this is said to be????

Beats me!!!

Its just a cover song, bands always cover random tracks by completely different bands, i wouldn't take it too seriously....

 

[speed]

I love the song Cars- and Fear Factory did an awesome job covering it.

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Yeah, the low points on Digimortal really make the whole thing feel like a slump, but to be honest, there's still some awesome material on it; Hurt Conveyor, Damaged, Strain Vs Resistance, Byte Block, Linchpin...

I thought I was the only one that thought that. 'Tis a shame the 5 or 6 good songs couldn't make the album worth while.

I like Digimortal....

 

[FailingAcension]

I hope Raymond does an intense and fast job

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Any samples of the new stuff about?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I liked Digimortal too, a lot better than Obsolete. Demanufacture was the best, though.

I like the new track and album names. Maybe it's a concept album like O and ends with a cover song for fun? I hope it's good...Machine Head made a comeback to end all comebacks. Maybe FF can too.

I liked Digimortal too, a lot better than Obsolete.

You serious!? I didn't think anyone liked Digimortal that much other than metal newbies.

You serious!? I didn't think anyone liked Digimortal that much other than metal newbies.

I felt that 'Obsolete' was a bit repetitive in some parts.

That's why I place 'Digimortal' just a notch above it.
