Well, if you've been following this blog, you will have read about my "Industrial Music finds" which is my little adventure on picking up physical copies of albums that I love and would either like to have them in my physical collection, or am picking up older pieces that I used to have in my collection, that I'm picking up again to once again have it in my collection, as... out of all honesty, I really like having physical stuff (predominantly CD's and such). You will also have noticed that one of the recent finds was a physical copy of Fear Factory's "Obsolete" (you can find that particular blog here!). Well, I'm listening to it a lot these days and it's such a good album! I didn't really get into Fear Factory until about 7 or 8 years ago, before that time period, I found it difficult to get into them, but after purchasing their "Mechanize" album... they started to grow on me (seeing them live many years ago also helped with that too). I always thought they were too technical, too machine-like... not sure if that was intentional on their part, but after all these years I'm starting to really enjoy their stuff! And, as far as I'm concerned of all the stuff I've heard of their's, I do think "Obsolete" is probably their best album (for me)! The reason why is cause first of all, I love the song "Descent"... just the way it fuckin sounds! It's so sad and bleak sounding, and even lyrically... so sad! I will say this album kinda reminds me of Skinny Puppy's "Back and Forth: 3 & 4"... just the way it sounds... and the continuity within the album, each song is perfectly placed, and naturally flows into the other... granted Fear Factory's music has always been highly conceptual... but I feel like, out of all their albums (that I've heard), this one seems to flow and it doesn't seem disjointed in any parts... Also, I really like the production (and hey Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly did some of the programming on it)! If you wanted to dig deeper on this album, and have a physical CD, there's a story that's included in the liner notes with the lyrics, that basically tells the story that the lyrics are centered around! Sooo good!! I just wanted to share my thoughts and how I feel... I will recommend though, if you are into industrial metal type stuff!! What is your favorite Fear Factory album?
