WHAT A DRAG!!!
I LOVE FEAR FACTORY, don't get me wrong. . . but this collection is NOT good. If you like TOTAL darkness and despair, go for it. To me, this album sucks compaired to all the others. .


hmmmmm
The only bad thing is that all the songs sound just alike. This cd has a real raw and gritty sound to it that you won't find on their other albums. When I first got it I stuck it into my cd player and started to listen to it and after about ten minutes I thought that this was 1 long song so I looked at the track number and it said number 3. I was shocked because those songs sounded the same. Sometimes I put this on the stero at work and turn it up because it it helps me get my work done faster. So in conclusion this is a good cd to listen to in the background at work but not good to listen to on headphones or in the car. .


this is the beginning
awesome from start to finish, 1990!, this was 10 years before its time , a masterpiece.


Interesting look at The begining....
I was very skeptical before my first listen because I had read many reviews on this site about this disc being more Death Metal then the rest of the FF cd's. First I would like to say that I own all of the FF cd's and this is the last one I picked up. But after a couple of songs I really started to get into the sound. After finishing the entire disc and a few more listens I actually liked this better then most of the other FF cd's except Demanufacture and Achetype. Its really amazing to hear how much they changed a few of the songs on later releases. I would recommend all FF fans give this disc atleast one listen i'd be willing to bet a majority will enjoy it. . . . .


The murky beginnings of Fear Factory
I collected every Fear Factory Release including this one. I became a fan of FF after listening to Obsolete. I found this CD (being a remastered release in 2001 by Roadrunner Records even though the album was recorded in 1990)too metalic for my liking and very harsh to listen to especially the first 8 songs.
However even here FF showed glimpses of what they would become - a industrial fusion band.
The last 5 songs of this CD are the best with Piss Christ showing the way. It was still good to hear the very beginnings of this young band. .
