Fear Factory - Digimortal CD

 Great CD!
I bought this CD along with "Demanufacture" and "Obsolete". I had read reviews about how pathetic this album is compared to those. However, I listened, and was very impressed. The first track, "What Will Become?" has a killer introduction which gets you into the album, along with "Acres of Skin" and "No One". The best tracks for me are probably "No One", "Byte Block" and "Hurt Conveyer" Get this album!

 Great industrial/heavy metal!
I initially found out about Fear Factory from a computer game I owned (Test Drive 5). It took me two years to purchase the only album I have of theirs ("Digimortal," of course) and I regret that indecision all the time. "Digimortal" is a great CD, by and large. Though Burton C. Bell's clean vocals are somewhat monotonous, they're not irritating (I'm looking at you, Travis from Blink-182!) and the album proves that even after a decade, Fear Factory are still the best at blending electronic sounds with blistering heavy metal. My favorite tracks include the title track, which has an unforgettable chorus, the first and only single off the album "Linchpin," "Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies)" (probably the softest song Fear Factory have ever recorded), and "Back the F*** Up," a rap number. The production values are impeccable, and the liner artwork's kind of interesting in a futuristic sense. One impediment is the lyrics, which try to be interesting and deep but seem to be either anti-technology or about personal pain and anguish. Some of the lyrics sacrifice quite a bit for the sake of rhyme (which, itself, appears kind of haphazardly throughout the album), most evident by the chorus in "Linchpin" where Bell sings: "All my life I've felt discarded, never feeling a part of it!" But mediocre lyrics are no reason not to purchase this CD, 'cause each and every song is at least decent--i.e., there are no throwaway tracks! One word of warning, though: true metalheads might be slightly disappointed by "Digimortal" 'cause it's apparently not as heavy as earlier Fear Factory albums. I, for one, have no frame of reference, but to me, Fear Factory sound like Mushroomhead meets Stabbing Westward, with a little bit of POWERMAN 5000 thrown in for good measure. Anyone who's looking for a heavy yet melodic melange of metal and electronica should definitely check this album out!

 Awesome album.
Another great album from Fear Factory. Fast, raunchy, and chilling. The only beef is that they have strayed a little from their "METAL" heritage and tok up a bit more hip-hop than wanted or needed. Still a must have for FF fans.
