5.0 out of 5 stars
FLA's best album so far, hands down,
By A Customer
This review is from: State of Mind (Audio CD)
Given that this was Front Line Assembly's second album (not counting the "Total Terror" demos), it feels strange to call it their best, especially considering that there have been at least seven albums since. But "State of Mind" has a raw, primitive quality to it that you can't find in industrial albums released nowadays. Bill Leeb knew how to make use of space back in the late '80s and didn't feel the need to throw all the effects in the studio at the listener. It's a dark album without being self-consciously so, and Leeb's gripping, original use of voice samples adds a touch of gritty drama you certainly won't find in the (strangely more popular) KMFDM canon. Yes, there are other great industrial albums, but this is certainly in the top five.

Stunning effort!,
This review is from: State of Mind (Audio CD)
Poor recording aside, this is one of my all-time favorite discs, it needs to be remastered. "Eastern Voices" is one of my favorites and would be a great song on any disc but my favorite and one of my all-time favorite gems is "Sustain Upright". "Sustain Upright" is one of the most eerily addictive songs I have ever heard and cannot get enough, despite owning this disc for nearly 20 years. State of Mind is very reminiscent of Future Sound of London and can't help but wonder if this disc was a big influence for FSOL. I heartily recommend this disc for any music fan but don't give up on the first couple of listens. Give it several listens to build the synapses and you will be rewarded. If you don't buy then you should definitely download "Sustain Upright".

Awesome,
This review is from: State of Mind (Audio CD)
If you like this one there's no question you'll love Gashed Senses & Crossfire too. FLA has had so many styles and influences over the years that you can literally like 2 or 3 of their cd's and loathe the rest of them. Well this is one of the 3 for me that I consider true FLA. I listed GS&F above and the other one is The Initial Command. Enjoy
