Fear Factory Album: “Transgression”
 Description :
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
<p>Fear Factory: Burton C. Bell (vocals); Christian Olde Wolbers (guitar); Byron Stroud (bass guitar); Raymond Herrera (drums).
<p>TRANSGRESSION is the second Fear Factory album to feature guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers, and it marks the first appearance of ex-Strapping Young Lad bassist Byron Stroud. Despite the new line-up, the pioneering industrial-metal band loses none of its patented tightness or aggression. Starting with the reverb-drenched Depeche Mode-meets-Megadeth sonic onslaught of "540,000 Degrees Fahrenheit," the group refines its unique brand of new wave-influenced thrash, pausing only to deliver a surprisingly faithful cover version of U2's "I Will Follow."

- Don't listen to the haters.
This is still impressive Fear Factory despite what many "fans" declare. Transgression means change and this shows with tracks like 'echoes of my scream' and 'moment of impact'. I have the dual-disc version which is loaded with DVD extras and the best buy exclusive track 'empire'. The band is on current hiatus as of '08 I don't care I await this album's follow up eagerly. 3 of 6 people found the following review helpful:
- Great album, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
The "new" Fear Factory (Christian on guitar, no Dino) follow-up to the awesome ARCHETYPE is excellent- great tracks, great energy, great musicianship as always. But one thing- The do a cover of U2's "I Will Follow", and I've got to tell you- from a diehard FF fan- I almost drove off the road. I've got no problem with covers- one of the best tracks on this CD is also a cover (and it kicks major ass!) and I love their version of "Cars", but if you're going to do a U2 cover, why choose their most simple, non-musical song that a 6th grade garage band can perform well- and why play it absolutely like the original version??? FF has the Mexicutioner- perhaps the greatest double-bass drumming metal drummer of our era, and he's playing "Boom-Cha, Boom-Cha, Boom-Cha, Boom-Cha" for 4 agonizing minutes... Just slit my wrists!!! It's seriously the worst single track they've ever put out- And I'd love an explanation. 2 of 6 people found the following review helpful:
- Welcome back Fear Factory!!
Ever since Digimortal I have been wanting to see Fear Factory live but they broke up supposedly after that. Then they come along and do this great album. All I can say is welcome back Fear Factory....its about time good music has come back! |
