09.07.10 | just now getting into FF... Mechanize and Obsolete are pretty sick |

10.20.10 | Obsolete is their best..... |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | 1,2 and 5 rule. 6 is okay and I just got 3. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | 6 is shit, more shit than digimortal. other then that switch 5 and 4 and it's perfect. |
Willie
10.20.10 | I pretty much agree with this list. I would put "Soul of a New Machine" first and "Transgression" over "Archetype" though. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | transgression was crap though man wtf. |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | Transgression over Archetype? No way Willie, no way. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | wow you posted that at the same time styles. |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | haha, so it seems |
Willie
10.20.10 | I like Transgression. It would be better with one more original track and the covers removed, but it's still good. |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | Transgression is ok, but man, Archetype is excellent. |
BigHans
10.20.10 | I really only care about the top 3. Obsolete edges Mechanize for me |
Powerban
10.20.10 | first 3 songs of transgression rule. the rest is pretty much standard. compare them with slave labor, archetype, drones, corporate cloning and even defualt judgement and the album is nothing in comparison. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | although, willie. i love the fact you convinced me into the new At The Soundawn. i really didn't like their last effort. so kudos to you, Mudra is perfect. |
Willie
10.20.10 | You didn't like Fear Factory's last effort? I can't see how you could like Fear Factory at all if you didn't appreciate "Mechanize" too. I like "Transgression" because they tried a few different things and for the most part, they were things I enjoyed.
Yes, Mudra is perfect. That whole album of At the Soundawn's is awesome. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | I mean, those cleans on that track. The whole "Crush my love" passage is just the clincher for me. Sitting in 3rd best post-metal AOTY so far, could possibly climb. |
Willie
10.20.10 | It's my favorite post metal album of the year, but Mar De Grises is close. |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | I need to give At The Soundawn more listens (it's at only 1 so far), but I personally enjoyed Rosetta more than Mar De Grises. |
Willie
10.20.10 | I haven't listened to the new Rosetta in a while. Anyway, we're highjacking a FF thread with post metal. Someone should make a good post metal list so we have something to feature today. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | Haha, I will get around to making a best "post" 2010 list pretty soon actually. I'm just waiting to get a few reviews out for the albums that are lacking their audience. |
Willie
10.20.10 | Listen to the new Mar De Grieses before you make that list. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | Listening to it now actually. It has a really cool bm vibe to its post-metalishness. |
Willie
10.20.10 | Oh cool. There's a review for it. Post what you think when you're done. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | For sure. As long as you post your thoughts on the Fields Of Locust one too ;) |
Willie
10.20.10 | I'll check it out tonight. |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | Also, just for your information Willie, the vocals on that Fields of Locust album are VERY grating. I mean, I got used to them as the album plodded along, but at first I thought they were pretty nasty (and not in a good way). |
Willie
10.20.10 | ha ha, wonderful. I'll see if I can get past them.
Anyway, Fear Factory is awesome. I think if they brought back some of the death growls to compliment the vocals he uses now-days that they could make their best album yet. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | Yeah, I went over that in my review, so I totally agree. I can honestly say I'm enjoying them a lot more since I wrote that. The vocals are only really prominent in the first two tracks. If you concentrate on the guitars in "...Under The Hunters Moon" it is quite rewarding. |
AngelofDeath
10.20.10 | ^ This so much.
Edit: @Willie |
Powerban
10.20.10 | But yeah, more death growls for FF. Mechanize was a step in the right direction for sure. One of their best attempts. |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | Dunno, I enjoy Bell's current style too (not that I'd know anything about his growls, as I never checked out SOANM). If they make another Mechanize in a year or two I'll be perfectly happy haha. |
Willie
10.20.10 | Soul of a New Machine is pretty awesome. I'm not saying use the growls all the time, only for emphasis. |
Powerban
10.20.10 | Styles, Just listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjIfZqVhzXg |
Metalstyles
10.20.10 | Sweet stuff man, that was great |
Powerban
10.20.10 | I'm really hoping they go back to that kinda thing, with their Mechanize feel. It's just beyond perfect. |
