I actually like this!

Review Score: (10/10)
Let me start off by saying this, I'm not a metal head, the closest thing to metal I own is Tool and some industrial bands like KMFDM or Ministry. But Fear Factory is a metal band, maybe not 24-7 but good enough. I seen the videos to "Resurrection" and "Cars". I thought "Resurrection" was interesting the way they mixed the string section in (it sounds even better with the headphones) and I love "Cars", especially with Gary Numan in it. When I got it the only songs I liked were the aforementioned and "Timelessness". Yeah, I know, the softest songs. When I listened to it throughout I realized these guys have a Ministry influence but sound more like 'Machine Metal', less effects, more metal. Reading the story board along with the album (unoriginal idea but written very nicely) helped out, kinda like an audio comic book. The other exta songs are only so-so. In the end I realized I liked it a lot, heavy, but fun.
