Fear Factory - Mechanize

To me this doesn't sound like Fear Factory at all, there are some parts that are really good but it feels really rushed sounding to me!
 
Unlike you, we actually use the more logical day->month->year way of telling what day it is.

Yea I totally facepalmed when I read the post again. I forgot most of the world does the day/month/year thing.

Although I have to be a bit obnoxious and express my opinion that the day/month/year format doesn't really seem more logical to me. I seem to hear dates along the lines of "February Second, Twenty-Ten" more often than "The Second of February, Twenty-Ten". Maybe that's just here in the states, though, I don't know.

And to go even further off topic, why are people still saying "Two-Thousand, Ten" rather than "Twenty, Ten"? That's like saying "I was born in One-Thousand, Nine-Hundred, Eighty-Two".

We're never gonna get our flying cars if people don't get with the times!

Sorry for the utterly pointless post.
 
I was impressed when Dino showed this off a few months back at the last DH show. Can't pull up the Youtube link, but I'm picking this up on day one.

Guitars were (if I recall correctly) his Vetta head through a Mesa cab with V30s.

But when using computers, the ISO standard is the most logical (YYYY-MM-DD), eg. today is 2009-12-22, and the album will be released on 2010-02-09. When you sort folders by name (provided the ISO date is the first in the name), all the folders will be automatically in correct chronological order, including different years.

YES. Thank you.

EDIT: Here is the interview that I did with him for SevenString.org - I think he talks about gear a bit, although I don't remember how much he had to say. END EDIT

I wasn't commenting about the format in which whoever it was posted the release day but the fact that it's almost a year away. this is an epic fail IMO. this album will be worn out by then.

You obviously didn't read very carefully, as the whole point was that it comes out in February, not a year from now.
 
This just sounds limp to me, I don't like the clean vocals on it, and although I like drums to sound perfect, these drums still sound like they are a drum machine, and this is Gene fucking Hoglan!

I pretty much refuse to listen to this one because of that reason, and well a few others as well.
 
Drums sounds like a drum machine like every FF album. Where is the problem? Fear Factory with a natural drums sound like in Transgression suck so bad.
In my opinion guitars should be louder

Touché!

Back on topic, I agree with the notion that FF drums should sound mechanical. They were striving for a cold, digital, manufactured, sterile sound before it became the norm.
