5.0 out of 5 stars Fear Factory At Their Finest Hour, March 10, 2003

This review is from: Fear Is the Mind Killer (Audio CD)

I have never loved Fear Factory, especially their horrid later day releases ('Digimortal'), but I seriously love this album. When I first heard their first album I thought that they sounded like a death metal Ministry, not necessarily a bad thing, and gave their first album - "Soul of a New Machine" - quite a few spins in my C.D. player, but nothing prepared me for the remix album that followed. 'Fear is the Mindkiller' is what I associate with Fear Factory, pummeling riffs, the growling death vocals (you heard me, death vocals), the killer sampling, and the throbbing guitars. I for one always like remix albums (KMFDM and Nine Inch Nails have put out some great ones as well) but this just blows it all away. The simple brutality of "Scapegoat (Pigf-ck Mix)", the great sampling on "Scumgrief (Deep Dub Trauma Mix)", the excellent sound of "Self Immolation" (one of my favorites from 'Soul of a New Machine'), everything about this E.P. (which is basically a single for "Self Immolation" - kind of like Meshuggah's brilliant "True Human Design") is spectacular. If you enjoy industrial metal or death metal this is a must have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good turn for Fear Factory, September 25, 2001

This remix ep almost is to the edge of something you would take to a dance party. They definatly can use the word regrooved especially on martyr and self immolation. Although the remixes of Self Immolation are my favorite they very much sound like each other i think us consumers needed a little more of a diffrent approach to that song remix than what was offered. I give much thanks and acknowledgment to this EP cause it gave Fear factory the open set for the Metal/Industrial sound you hear from them to this day.

3.0 out of 5 stars barely worth the money, December 26, 1999

Caca Smellwaste (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fear Is the Mind Killer (Audio CD)

really good remixes here, but the cd as a whole is barely worth 14 bucks. 3 remixes of self-immolation? come on....that's just a bit too much...anyhow, if you dig industrial music, this is a great cd to buy, but if you are looking for another cd like demanufacture or soul of a new machine, look elsewhere. THE TOGA LIVES ON!
