IDEAL FOR THE CASUAL FAN
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.

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'.
