   Fear Factory comes as one of the nicest surprises in the industrial metal. In their Soul Of A
New Machine, they still had traces of dead metal, but in this one we can almost forget about that.
They have changed the gruesome dead voice to a softer growl, but Burton C. Bell still shouts like
hell. The guitars are more sterile than ever, with new synth elements. The opening track,
"Demanufacture", gives a perspective of what the album is going to be like. First a synth intro,
and then Raymond Herrera's double- bass drums make way to  powerful, dry guitars.  The second
track "Self Bias Resistor" is more melodic, with Bell's clear voice. "Replica", also, has a stunning mix
of  guitars and drums with the vocalist voice, sometimes hoarse, sometimes clean and beatiful.
"New Breed" has a drum beat that will pin you to the floor. After that, the cover "Dog Day Sunrise"
gives us a melodic pause. With "Body Hammer" and "Flashpoint" we come back to the
beat-them-to-pulp riffs. In "H-K (Hunter-Killer)" they weakened a little, for this one isn't as
highlighted as the others. "Pisschrist" may be their best song to date, with half of the song in a
harsh metal style and the other part in superb clear voice. The last track, "A Therapy For Pain", was
a failure in trying to make a melodic outro. The lirycs lacked wit and Bell's voice didn't save the song.
