4/5 IDEAL FOR THE CASUAL FAN
  by JUAN MARTIN GABASTOU (Weston Hills, FL United States)
Like me. I wanted a FF greatest hits and this dvd doubled as one with great visual accompaniement to boot. It's a pity there aren't any concerts released, not even bootlegs, so this is what there is, and it's quite good. Sometimes the band just don't own the rights to what TV channels or other people have recorded so they cannot put out a proper release and choose the ¨overview¨way. Too bad. Assembled chronologically in a semi-documentary manner, you can skip those parts and go straight to every song. 5 of the 13 live tracks have hideous sound and picture and the rest range from fair to mostly excellent. The 4 videos the band have are included and are superb, esp Lynchpin and Cars guesting Lord Gary Numan himself, what a treat !! The audio tracks are worthless IMHO and are from a rare and unreleased cd. Only real flaw is that the name of the songs aren't anywhere to be found on the menu so you have to guess unless you're a fan and familiar with them.80' Bargain bin fodder my friends. Get it CHEAP only.

5/5 Digital Connectivity: Connect Now

This DVD is a gem, yes there may be a small number of imperfections but the footage and the clips make up for any disappointment. This DVD shows the evolution of this industrial metal group. Fear Factory have been around for now 12 years and with their release of their latest offering 'Archetype', this band will be around for some more time to come. Overall this DVD is a pearler.

The entire FF music video clips are included here in this package including 'Replica', 'Cars', 'Linchpin' (my favourite).It also includes 8 extra audio tracks which are B-Sides or unreleased studio demos. There is a section called Evolution - that runs through the first 10 years of the band's history from concept to worldwide touring. Even some footage from 2001 Australian Tour is in here.

The full FF discograpy is included from their very first CD to their EP's and Singles. This is a rare treat and the DVD offers so much. The weblinks and online photo galleries showing the evolution of the FF Logo is amazing as well.

There are live performances of FF songs from worldwide concerts such as 'Martyr', 'Scumgrief', 'Demanufacture', 'Shock', 'Edgecrusher', 'Damaged' and 'Digimortal'.

3/5 Not Bad...Not Great
  by Mono-Grind (Here)
This DVD i have wanted for a while. I finally got it around 2 months ago, and it was cool to sit down and finally watch and see Fear Factory live and all that, but i was left disappointed afterwards. The main problem with it is the sound of the Live shows. Really poor in my opinion. Though there are alot of these clips, that doesn't really make up for the fact they don't sound too good. This DVD has stuff dating all the way back to the early 90's album Soul of a New Machine, to Digimortal. It has all of their VideoClips, which are pretty cool. It has 8 bonus audio tracks, which are good, but if you already have the CD "Hatefiles" there's nothing new. It also has a discography, showing you every CD they have brought out, singles included...

But all in all, I'm a fan of Fear Factory myself, but i was just disappointed in it really.
I hope they come out with a Concert DVD soon, that has better sound Quality. But aside from all that, if you are into FF and want to see what they look like Live, and have yet to see all of their VideoClips, check it out......3/5 I expected more.

2/5 i'm disappointed

Very cheap... The video Clips are fine but some of the live clips are really bad. I have better DVDs of bands a lot more underground...
