Customer Reviews

Power. Pure audio power.
I heard most of the songs off the original Demanufacture before I heard this. That's the right way round to hear things, otherwise it gets real confusing. Remanufacture contains remixes of the heavy metal on Demanufacture, with a cunning twist. The heavy guitars and powerful drums are warped into some very hard hitting dance/techno. It has to be heard to be believed. This album is probably the most powerful work I have ever heard. It even beats the pure power of all three RATM offerings, and all of FF's other work. Every song hits with such a force it left me stunned. T-1000 (H-K) is some of the hardest techno you will ever hear, and to hear that combined with the guitars of the original sped up to fit. At full volume it's enough to make you want to go out and flip cars with your bare hands. Then the total opposite, 21st Century Jesus (pisschrist) is an eerily moving piece of music. There is just something about the oriental noises that start, moving into the trance like tune, and the one note powerful guitars, it leaves me in a place far far away. Then to hear the sample from T2 in there!

This album is pure genius, and I am sure it is their best work ever. If you are after pureblood guitar rock/metal stuff, you might not like it, but if you have an open mind and like quality dance music (not club b's) you will love this album. /|/| /| /_

Beyond Demanufacture...
I first heard this Remanufacture, (and Demanufacture) in 1997, since then Fear Factory have become my favorite band, the reason for that lies in no small part to Remanufacture. Demanufacture for me, is a five star album that is one of the classic 90's metal releases, but Remanufacture, whilst not creating a new genre, certainly helped re-define the boundaries of metal, industrial and even, (dare I say it?), dance music. High Points for me are Genetic Blueprint and Machines of Hate, though none of the tracks is a filler. Built on the solid foundations of Demanufacture, Fear Factory evolved Remanufacture into something quite special and truly original, so much so that I preferred many of teh Remanufacture versions. I wish the same treatment had been given to Obsolete, which I rate highly (5 stars). Certainly Digimortal could benefit from some of the Remanufacture treatment to elevate it from a 4 star album.

Nice try...
Well, I'm all in favour of some musical experimentalism, but has to be handled with a little more competence than this, or it ends up sounding like a way of getting two albums out of one album's material. Interesting in so far as a couple of tunes would go down well in an alternative clubinstead of the usual fare, but dance music they aren't.

FF were more confident in their experiments on the first album, when I suppose it was less of a commercial risk - Fear is the Mindkiller is excellent (and got me into the band in the first place in 1993), but this did not live up to those expectations.
