It wasn't long ago Fear Factory were claiming that "the soul of this machine has improved", following the departure of founding member, axe-man Dino. A questionable album and a legal case later, and Mechanize appears to be the band's seventh and latest full-length. Raymond and Christian do not feature on this album, Dino is back with his multiple-string guitar for the first time since Digimortal. For the first time ever the band also sees a new drummer, going by that familiar name of Gene Hoglan.

Rating: 9 For me Christploitation is the best track of the album.. I like this track very much..
I never even thought about Fear Factory without Raymond Herrera, but Gene Hoglan has done the job so well..

  Is this real Fear Factory? Or shell-of-themselves Fear Factory?

EDIT: Listened to Industrial Discipline, definitely sounds like Demanufacture-era, awesome

  I just been a concert in last month in Melbourne.
just tell everyone know one thing!
fucking awesome concert and Hoglen so amazing for FF

  Yeah. Very good album, kinda back to the peak of their carrer on some early 90ths albums..

Althou I really liked their new direction as well (Designing the Enemy and Final Exit are the closer we get from that phase), this is a good comeback. Just like Paradise Lost and a whole bunch of bands, they release something heavier and in contact with their roots after a sequence of contested albuns.

Christploitation, Controlled Demolition and Final Exit are my highlights.

Awesome album.
I adore the song "Final Exit".

Yes! this song makes me think of people close to me I have lost and of my own existence.
A very well done song!

Rating: 9 Awesome album, their best since Demanufacture without a shade of doubt.

Rating: 8 Fear Factory's future goal should be to make an entire album of songs like Christploitation.

I definitely agree with you. The first four songs are cool but the album really climaxes with Christploitation and this creepy piano sound. The second half of the album is rather dull after this song.

Yeah I dunno what it is specifically about that sound, it's not wildly different from their other tracks but it definitely feels unusual, the piano intro/interlude/outro shows that the FF sound mixes incredibly well with atmospheric effects whilst remaining stupidly heavy. And yeah, again it's the filler tracks which stop the album being truly great.

For me Christploitation is the best track of the album..


Agreed. Ive only listened to the album once in full, which was when it first came out. (I'll listen to it again before giving my rating )

And although I liked a fair few tracks on the album, ''Christploitation" was really the only one which stuck out to me as being a truly classic Fear Factory track. \m/
