Like most of the bands that I am into, I heard about Fear Factory by word of mouth.
While I don't know a whole lot about them, I sure love the cd I have(obsolete), and I plan to get all of the rest.
I bought it one day when I was looking for the Family Values CD, but it was sold out and I didn't want to go home empty handed,
so I picked up Fear Factory. Since it was only 10 bucks I thought it was worth it. And was I ever Right!!! I love Fear Factory.
The have such a full sound, I especially love "Descend" and "Edgecrusher". I plan to go out and buy the rest of their CDs as soon as I get the money.
