Fear Factory - Archetype
When a band parts with an influential member, you always have to prepare for the worst. Luckily, it has worked out for the better. In the last 2 albums, they have caught shit for getting too soft and too rapcore. The rapcore is gone, they still have some lighter stuff, but the heavy parts (about half of the album) are definitely worthy of the Demanufacture era.
The band kept their trademark mechanical sound. Christian made a great switch from bass to guitar, Raymond's drumming is superb as usual and Burton's growls are as brutal as ever while his clean vocals are still extrordanairy.
A huge improvement over the last album they released.
9/10
