I am going to be thoroughly controversial here, and say that I really liked Digimortal, and only vaguely enjoyed the first album. Cue a thousand cries of "SOO NOT METAL OMG FAG"... but yet, i care not.
I feel that the production of the first album put me off. i liked the Clean edge of Fear factory, as in "edgecrusher", and i feel that Burton only improved as time went on. The Grunting, crushing FF that begun their musical career may have been the closest to extreme metal they have been, which i suppose would be a plus to many of you, i preferred the later albums, with good clean vocal part, retaining stacatto riffs and good double bass drumming, and some damn funky, groovy songs. i am a big believer in groove, something which i feel that in flames and soilwork show good skill in, and FF gave me plenty of what i liked in said areas.
coolest FF song? Messiah. just for the sheer... goodness.
