Feel u! This past year obsolete overtook demanufacture for me but they kinda flip flop over time honestly. They’re such different moods, and obsolete is obviously a bit more accessible, easy to just throw on and groove

Yeah this is the first metal I heard with actual screaming in it so it blew my mind when I first heard it aha. This, Guns n Roses and Metallica were basically all I listened to from 98-2000

resurrection might be the only song on here that i truly love, which is a bit weak for a FF album. gonna bump my rating down for this unfortunately. its a good album but not one of their best imo. might even like transgession more overall.

Absolute insanity, transgression’s production disqualifies it from any FF discussion imo. It sounds like a totally different band and not in a good way

i like the transgression sound and I have no idea how that would "disqualify" it in any way.

Transgression has a more raw and less polished production style with most of the industrial elements being less prominent in the albums mix or removed completely. Other prominent elements of the bands sound such as the blast beat drumming and loud guitars are also often reduced in the albums mix. Guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers has stated that it was hard to have a producer do everything, where usually they are more involved with the people that they work with. Because of this the album has a different mix, a different sound to it than the previous ones. He described this album as "half way finished" and also said that he had to walk out of the studio because he wasn't happy with his guitar sound.

Wolbers stated that the band was disappointed with the album due to its hurried finish due to demands from the band's label. This also accounts for the cover songs. Had the band had more time to finish the record, more tracks would have been included, and the album overall would have sounded better.[8] 18 songs were recorded during the Transgression sessions, with five that have yet to be released. Two of them are "Ammunition" and a cover of Godflesh's "Anthem".[9]

“We had some really heavy shit on Transgression that never made it to the album because Burt didn't wanna sing on fast blast beat songs.”

Resurrection and Final Exit are FF's best 'softer' tracks, both are so epic.
