 Simply put...PERFECTION
This cd is the best FLA album to date and one of the 2 you need to own, the other being "Vanished EP".

What can I say about this album? Well - if you love Gibson's NEURIMANCER, if you love DEUS EX game and MATRIX and JOHNY MNEMONIC films, than WHAT TO HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? Songs like SILENT CEREMONY or SYNTHETIC FORMS are totally crushing cyberpunk experience!!!

 ecstasy a go go!
This album delivers what it's predesessor could not "Quality content" although "Flavour of the weak" had it's good tracks, i feel that this album has the over all goods so to speak! And if you are a true FLA fan then you will agree, because if you think this disc is not of one of the finest that FLA has delivered then you are F**king insane! beyond all comprehension! I feel that this will be the last good peice of material you will hear from these guys, as the current album "Epitaph" is rumoured to be their last!

 FLA explode !
Front Line Assembly newest release, IMPLODE, sure is a great album, even better than their latest FLAVOUR OF THE WEAK (which was exactly that : weak !).

With the recent departure of Rhys Fulber, many feared that the next album wouldn't meet the standards... Fortunatly, Bill Leeb made a great album in the pure FLA tradition, with the contribution of Chris Peterson. Ok, IMPLODE won't revolutionize the Industrial music industry, but it shows that FLA is still very well at ease without Rhys in the rank.

IMPLODE is 10 track experimental album. Experimental, yes, but not too far away from the FLA usual sound. You'll still find Leeb's distorted voice, some sampling and sequencing, some hard guitar (but not in forefront, like it was in MILLENIUM or HARD WIRED), along with the usual FLA techno dance beat. But IMPLODE differs in its treatment of the well-known elements that made FLA sound & technique. Is IMPLODE a mark for the new FLA direction ? Maybe...

The gems : RETRIBUTION, FATALIST, PROPHECY are amongst my favorites tracks. Typical FLA, but with a new fresh twist. SILENT CEREMONY - an instrumental, at the very end of the CD - is very un-FLA-esque, but good nevertheless. The other tracks are very good too.

Very interesting album ! Almost an anthology of styles, Front Line Assembly/ Delirium/Noise Unit/and so on in one package. Not a dull or an easy album though. IMPLODE worths buying.
