The Fear Factory in Architype and Transgression was neither before nor after these two masterpieces. They are like 2 parts of one whole. That composition, that message, that energy and that sound in these two albums ... just amazing!!! Thanks guys for this work! FF🏴🏴🏴
Burton calls Transgression a "failed experiment"...I pretty much agree. There was some good stuff, but a lot of it was a weird FF/pop blend. Archetype was good, but playing it safe with the classic FF template.
@@blucu001 so it was that Christian was having an affair behind closed doors with Raymond's wife. Or it is the other way. But I heard Dino saying one time that it was why they broke up.
Christian is an underrated guitarist, I love his work on this two Fear factory albums he wrote.. The proof they are good is too see Dino Cazares playing these songs at every Fear Factory show 🔥
All 8 Fear Factory albums plus the new one in 2015 are all Masterpieces. Every song is near flawless. Transgression is as good as Obsolete or Mechanize. Fear Factory is the greatest band of all times. Music doesn't have to be heavy as balls to be epic. Echo of My Scream for one is beautiful just like the other 10+ slower Fear Factory tracks. Burton C. Bell is my favorite vocalist ever and everything he will continue to make is epic. The dude is a fucking genius that's in the greatest band period. When you have a voice like Burton C.Bell you don't need heavy shit every fucking time.
Joshua Masserant Burton C. Bell's vocals are my favorite ones ever, I just want to cry when I listen new music from this unbelievable vocalist. On my top 5 best vocalists ever.
I like all their albums. I don't care who is in the band as long as Burton is there. All I am saying is that Demanufacture is easily a top 5 metal album of all time....that makes it their best album ever.
Without a doubt, I have met Christian a couple of times and he was very approachable and down to earth. The first time was in Philly they were opening up for Iron Maiden (not Bruse Dickinson)
Thank you. I think ego has really gotten to Dino's head, and in turn gone to Burton C. Bell's head, as it seems he is kind of an impressionable guy. I really would have enjoyed seeing Fear Factory play Spinal Compression & Millennium live, as I felt those were the strongest songs on the Transgression record.
All of you can say what you want about this album: I personally love the imperfections on Transgression. I believe having a "crisp" and "clean" record doesn't sound as appealing to me.
@@cosmicgazer.1468fuck no bro😂 Digimortal was not overproduced🤦♂️and clearly you don't know what overproduced sounds like.😂 There are a couple meh songs on Digimortal but it is LEAGUES ahead of transgression. Half of transgression could've been good with better production and the other half is shitty filler songs🤷♂️ Digimortal is is a diamond with some visible cracks. Transgression is a fake diamond With visible cracks to hide a load of shit inside🤷♂️
Cris and Raymond left a very important mark in the history of the band! I am saddened by the rupture of relations between the members. In my opinion Archetype just doesn't surpass Demanufacture, and Transgression is underrated!!! Missing the Archetype era...
personally i lovea ll their records, each having their own unique feel, message and killer tracks. My favourite albums are actuall Transgression, Archetype and Mechanize cant beat them 3, but of course as a long time die hard FF fan i love ALL their albums! :)
Obsolete is still THE album that made Fear Factory what they are today. They lost a lot of what they were just by the sheer force and power they exerted touring for that album. Those shows were absolute intensity and power. They will always be one of the most unique acts in metal but to me, especially after losing the original line-up, they're a shell of what they once were.
There was a lot of drama, apparently, Raymond was sleeping with Christian's partner or something, also the band's manager. Raymond and Christian were able to make amends but Burton didn't accept the behaviour. When Dino and Burton reconciled Burton offered to Ray and Christian to get the band back together, so long as they get a new manager. Christian and Ray refused. Cue the lawsuits and where we are now. Big shame, I'd love nothing more for them all to reconcile but the ship has sailed, and Ray has retired from drumming.
I love Christian's type of sound&composing more- it is more open, more airy, more breathing. Dino is a claustrophobic and toxic guy, which mirrors in his sound. It's a shame Christian couldn't proceed with Arkaea and disappeared in crappy side-projects. His place in something like this era captured on the video. He should've form the band called Archetype or Transgression to play this kind of music. And find the vocalist that sound similar to Burton, not that sick screamer in Arkaea.
Why was Byron Stroud never allowed to record bass tracks for any of the Fear Factory albums? He was in the band for 8 years while they recorded 3 different albums and was never allowed to put down any bass tracks at all. Even here, Raymond is talking about "the 3 of them", not including Byron as a member of the group. It's no wonder why the dude quit the band last year.
By the time Christian and Raymond were still part of FF, Byron was also in Strapping Young Lad band, and didn't have time to do the albums record (saw that in an interview). And when Dino came back, I just think it's because he didn't like him very well (even if gene hoglan, who was the drummer of Strapping Young Lad, was here). Dino may be a talented guitarist, with some good imagination to put some kickass riff and atmospher, he's still hard to work with and can be a real bitch (that's why Christian and Raymond left the band, followed later by Byron, and i suppose Gene for the same reasons).
Without Dino the band lost that mechanic-killer sound, but without Wolbers and Herrera now has no inspiration in the music.. Sounds different o.O. The best era was 95 to 99
OLIMPO D.P.S! Mechanize and industrialist have their moments, but I absolutely loved archetype and agree that FF lost a lot when they forced out their original rhythm section, especially with how much Christian added to the band
@@DCWelker - Christian wasn't on Industrialist... Reprehensible Meshuggah - I'd say Archetype & Mechanize are tied in quality. But Transgression & Industrialist are below both of them.
@@Sean-fv4wi sorry, I meant Transgression, not Industrialist. He used a Krank Krankenstein on Mechanize. I have no idea how he makes good amps sound god awful
That was their vision at the time and a fan will respect that, that is Their music, in todays world everyone wants to critisize, I dont give a shit if somebody doesnt like it, why the fuck ru even here ...flark off!
Archetype/Transgression era was Fear Factory's best. I can't stand the new stuff they made since the reformation with Dino, and practically kicking Chris and Ray out
Wow, listening to this record again is really interesting! Hated this album for so long, I guess it's because it wasn't the Fear Factory I knew and loved, however it is still a great record. I like to see it as it's own thing, like a side project, then it sounds better in a way! You know what I mean?
always loved fear factory👍 this album wasn't too bad at all. It wasn't bad as far as experimental was concerned and had some really cool tracks:) even Mechanize was a bit experimental as well. It wasn't until I heard the Industrialist that I was taken back to their Demanufacture, Obsolete, Digimortal era:). Archetype was a really cool album as well which had some classic FF tracks. I just wish these guys would work their stuff out. Burton, Dino, Christian and Raymond. Come on guys:)
Deamnufacture, Obsolete and Mechanize for the win.. archetype is over rated.. industrialist is boring.. transgression is under rated.. Digimortal is the shittest by far.
Unfortunately, I'm not an OG FF fan. I was introduced to them with the album archetype in 2003 when I was 13. My favorite albums of FF are obsolete, digimortal, hate files, archetype and transgression. Not really into newer FF but I'm glad that there are still FF records being produced
I remember reading an interview with Wolbers not long after Transgression came out and you could totally tell he wasn't happy with the album but was trying his best to hide it. I agree with your opinions about The Industrialist too, such a lifeless sounding record. Digimortal smokes The Industrialist, nowhere near as bad of a record as people make out. I think a lot of people got carried away with the whole 'Back The Fuck Up'' thing and how it was supposedly all 'nu metal' sounding.
@@kevinvigil5867I dont hate the industrialist but it's literally just a watered-down version of mechanize😂 The drums were entirely digital, so that is probably why it sounds lifeless.
Not to mention the title track "Demanufacture" which is amazing. Take some shrooms, turn the lights off, close your eyes and listen to the entire album and prepare to have your fucking mind blown to pieces.
Well, they are my favorite band. Been listening to them since 1994. Seen then live 6 times. Met them a few times. They recently did a tour where they played Demanufacture from start to finish. Why do you think they did that???? Do you think they did that because it is their worst album? lmfao.
It wasn't just 'Back The Fuck Up' that heralded the nu-metal accusations on 'Digimortal', it was also the pro-tools ear-candy production job as well as simple one-string-one-finger riffs that did it. There were some great moments on that album but there was also one eye on the bank balance...
I read that Christian Olde Wolbers has disowned this album, and that Fear Factory at the time did not like their recording terms for this album. I can see where they're coming from, as I was alittle put off by this album the first time I heard it, but I still feel that this was MUCH heavier than The Industrialist. Not that it was a bad album, it just didnt feel like it had much of any soul to it. I actually prefer Digimortal to T.I.
"Lol". You can't tell someone "This one is better, shut up and think like this."... Fear Factory has been (in my opinion) flawless from Soul Of A New Machine until now. There's no such thing as "best album", it's just your favorite
Firstly, I am a massive lifelong FF fan, so not trolling at all. I agree that Transgression was a HUGE let down when it came out. But it does have some great tunes. Try to imagine those tunes with a more ''Fear Factory'' sounding production. I also think Arkaea has some killer riffs, far better than the same old 1 note that Dino plays over and over on The Indsutrialist. Either way though, greatest FF era was and always with be 1995 - 2001, they were absolutely unstoppable back then.
Their old stuff is great, don't get me wrong. I for one just think that Transgression sounded better than what Mechanize and Industrialist turned out to be, I know the production on Trans was somewhat low-end, but imagine hearing Contagion or 540,000 Degrees if they did it properly.
There must be some kind of law that has to do with having a different opinion to everyone else. Chill the fuck out people, we all love Fear Factory, what difference does it make?
Just convert them as Mp3 and then upload those tracks inside on your Itunes. Of course if you got the original CD instead of a copy or even a downloaded Mp3 files from anywhere .......
the thing i take from this footage is all that work in lugging in all that unnecessary equipment only for the final product to sound like this! how did they listen to this back in the studio n love the way this all sounded..makes no sense.
lol Not exactly sure...I can just say in 99 when my band recorded in a multi-million $$ studio it sounded so amazing in there, but every time I'd listen to mixes in various sound systems (from the cheapest/simplest to the most expensive/elaborate systems) nothing ever came close to how it sounded in the control room. Everything sounded thick & in your face but anything outside the studio the drums & some other stuff sounded way back in the mix...I call it a cold mix (Slipknot's self titled for example of the top of my head). Had every intention to put in more time to get it right & more importantly learn, but just ran out of $$ amongst other things. But never have figured out why that happens. I know acoustics have a huge role but other than that...still missing pieces to the puzzle
the trick too mixing an album is you have to play it back through a stereo system. not studio monitors, it might sound stupid but it works. studio monitors sound different then music speakers in ur car or ur house. that's how I mix. its unconventional but the results are much better and your never get blindsided like this album. and why people in studios get offended by this practice I use makes me scratch my head since the average person who is goin to listen to ur recording is goin to either listen to it in their car or their home stereo. not huge studio monitors.
And too think it would be these 3 and not Dino who would actually bring the band to its worst stage with lawsuits and court cases over money owed to each other,,despite all the great laughs they had making this record,,
i don't understand the shit that this album gets, especially from burton. theres plenty of signature fear factory on this album, and the stuff that isn't at the core of that sound is only a SLIGHT deviation away from it, its all stuff that is compatible with fear factory. I've seen a lot of other bands go WAY farther away from their core sound and get a lot less crap for it. i feel like a lot of people who don't like fear factory went out of their way to shit on this album because it didn't have a million guitar solos on it, metal at the time was so into guitar soloing coming back that if it wasn't all solos, underground metal people didn't really care. it led to some lost classics, like the fury of our makers hand by devildriver.
In my opinion except first 2 albums - rest is average- i mean always was into 75% of material- rest were fillers. My problem with Christian- era on guitar FF albums is that are too long. ARCHETYPE is like And Justice for all- long, repetstive motives. Few songs could be missed. Same with this one.
Still puzzles me to this day why the low end is so farty here. Sounds distorted in a bad way. Sounds like this on the final studio release. Messed-up mastering maybe ?

I wish they still had Raymond Herrera, he is a bad ass drummer and he was a big asset to Fear Factory.
Especially in the songwriting. But unfortunately he chose to side with Christian and Burton and Dino wouldn't do anything with Christian.
@@blucu001 why ?

So underrated
It's a shame FF doesn't get the respect they deserve as musicians. If it wasn't for FF bands like KillSwitch Engage wouldn't be around. Horns up!
On the other hand, there will be no djent and world would be a much better place.
Christian is an underrated guitarist, I love his work on this two Fear factory albums he wrote..

Its without Dino but it is one of the best Fear Factory Albums
No way!

lol Not exactly sure...I can just say in 99 when my band recorded in a multi-million $$ studio it sounded so amazing in there, but every time I'd listen to mixes in various sound systems (from the cheapest/simplest to the most expensive/elaborate systems) nothing ever came close to how it sounded in the control room. Everything sounded thick & in your face but anything outside the studio the drums & some other stuff sounded way back in the mix...I call it a cold mix (Slipknot's self titled for example of the top of my head). Had every intention to put in more time to get it right & more importantly learn, but just ran out of $$ amongst other things. But never have figured out why that happens. I know acoustics have a huge role but other than that...still missing pieces to the puzzle
the trick too mixing an album is you have to play it back through a stereo system. not studio monitors, it might sound stupid but it works. studio monitors sound different then music speakers in ur car or ur house. that's how I mix. its unconventional but the results are much better and your never get blindsided like this album. and why people in studios get offended by this practice I use makes me scratch my head since the average person who is goin to listen to ur recording is goin to either listen to it in their car or their home stereo. not huge studio monitors.
You just echoed what I said so you either didn't read, are a troll, or are a kid so I won't be wasting anymore time here
Good album
Fuck yeah guys!! 🤘🤘
I agree!
And too think it would be these 3 and not Dino who would actually bring the band to its worst stage with lawsuits and court cases over money owed to each other,,despite all the great laughs they had making this record,,
BILLY GOULD! \m/
i don't understand the shit that this album gets, especially from burton. theres plenty of signature fear factory on this album, and the stuff that isn't at the core of that sound is only a SLIGHT deviation away from it, its all stuff that is compatible with fear factory. I've seen a lot of other bands go WAY farther away from their core sound and get a lot less crap for it. i feel like a lot of people who don't like fear factory went out of their way to shit on this album because it didn't have a million guitar solos on it, metal at the time was so into guitar soloing coming back that if it wasn't all solos, underground metal people didn't really care. it led to some lost classics, like the fury of our makers hand by devildriver.
Fury of our Maker’s Hand is such an amazing and underrated album
Underappreciated. Not a favorite (the first 4 are the best), but it's a good album.
In my opinion except first 2 albums - rest is average- i mean always was into 75% of material- rest were fillers. My problem with Christian- era on guitar FF albums is that are too long. ARCHETYPE is like And Justice for all- long, repetstive motives. Few songs could be missed. Same with this one.
Still puzzles me to this day why the low end is so farty here. Sounds distorted in a bad way. Sounds like this on the final studio release. Messed-up mastering maybe ?
