I've been listening FF since Obsolete came out, seen them couple times live, FF is one of my longtime favourite bands .. and for me Fear Factory will be always, Burton Dino. Those two make FF sound what i have used to and what i always liked. Yeah, guess they had their problems inside the band but still theres 10 great ass kicking Fear Factory albums.
Archetype and Transgression was good albums despite Dino absence, but still cant deny they missed something what Dino brings to FF´s music. I'll accept the "unpopular opinion" label, but thats how it is for me. Just wish the best for the new Fear Factory, for Dino and Burton they are awesome artists and achieved something what i could never, Respect.
