Very good US debut!, June 16, 2009
This review is from: Fact (Audio CD)
When I first heard the CD I was thinking of Dir En Grey but not the case at all. No where near as strange, heavy, and not in a different language. It starts out as a hard rock frankly a metal album which I didn't mind. Then all of a sudden these catchy hooks and choruses that reminded me of Blink182. I know strange very indeed but it does remind me of some old school blink. I've never been a huge Blink fan, liked a chunk of their stuff but not a lot. So when I heard their influence I was taken off guard and I don't believe that FACT intended to recreate that feel but they do and it's like Blink with a Metal core at the inside of this big giant ball. It more than enough tracks on it to give you a look at everything they are capable of. Great job in my opinion and will be looking forward to everything they do in the future. Doesn't look like they are going anywhere at the moment. One devil's advocate thought though is that if the 2nd album doesn't go well then it will be the end of this band like so many. So guys don't waste your talent.

Been looking for this CD for a while (doesn't help that I only found the band earlier this year). Checked every label that they had been under, didn't find anything. Checked amazon first thing, but it wasn't on here (most likely out of stock). Glad I checked again.
On FACT: Awesome band. They apparently have 2 or 3 new albums out, but I haven't seen them anywhere. Listened to the preview for a few of the songs. Some of them were...out of character, to say the least. Others were awesome. I'd suggest most any song in this album, along with anything before it.
On CD: Security label left some adhesive behind, still can't get it off. No biggie, just a bit annoying. The booklet inside the CD case has the lyrics for all of the songs that have lyrics, except for the bonus track, which is a remix by another good Japanese band, Boom Boom Satellites. CD is a plain black CD with the standard fare, nothing fancy. I'll add some pictures later.
