5.0 out of 5 stars Front Line Assembly does it again!, Dec 28 2002

By

Saint Thomas "Hold the S because I am an 'AINT!" (Kent, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Epitaph (Audio CD)

This guy is the KING of making atmospheric music. Listening to one of his albums is like being sent into another world full of futuristic images. He creates such lush and organic sounds, I find it impossible to dislike any of his material. "Epitaph" picks up where "Implode" left off. I always picture some futuristic scene whenever Im listening to this album. "Implode" set the stage, gritty sound with heavy guitars. I liked to picture a rusty, industrial city brooding with spooky atmosphere. The whole album is good. "Epitaph" is like a space trip into the unknown. Everytime I listen to it I picture a planet full of mechanical, industrial city scapes. Beeping and booping with electronic techno genious. "Dead Planet" is by far the best track Front Line Assembly has EVER created. I think I've said enough, "Epitaph" is his best album yet. Buy it today!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very cool album!, Jun 10 2004

Thermionic Flux (Adelaide, South Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Epitaph (Audio CD)

Epitaph was my first ever intro to Frontline Assembly and was well worth the extra money I forked out for it (I live in Adelaide, Australia). Some of the tracks get a little close to doof-doof, but overall FLA's frenetic and chaotic industrial vibes make this one awesome CD. The atmospheric machinescapes in this album are excellent, the intros for the songs alone are almost worth the money.

I highly recommend this CD to any industrial fans out there. Good stuff, and a kudos to FLA for such a great album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Implode, Feb 25 2004

By

eRgO (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Epitaph (Audio CD)

I know that many FLA fans consider Implode to be one of FLA's best, but I found it too inconsistent and lyrically one of the worst Leeb has offered. That said, Epitaph does little to improve this fact, with horrible lyrics about "worn out shoes." Never thought I'd hear an industrial-music icon singing about inadequate footwear. Musically, however, it flows much better without running out of ideas... a rarity in the world of industrial/electronic music.

I have begun to take a much more light-hearted approach to FLA's catalog, and this helps matters greatly in terms of their themes/lyrics. If anything, Epitaph proves Leeb and Co. are deft creators of catchy, and heavy, anthems that are well-produced and layered with various electronica styles. It's very entertaining music to listen to, and even better as a backdrop to Matrix-laden daydreams.

Epitaph harks back to FLAvour and TNI in that it does away with any overt guitars and focuses on electronic soundscapes. Stand-out tracks for me are "Backlash" and "Everything Must Perish." "Backlash" has some of the most unholy drums I've ever heard on an FLA album, but they only add to the song instead of overwhelming it. It's all very energetic, and FLA does a great job creating a memorable track out of what could have been a percusive nightmare. "Everything Must Perish" might be my favorite because it astutely blends the Delerium/FLA sound.... better than "Falling" or "Unknown Dreams" from Implode. For me, Epitaph is what Implode should have been.

Epitaph was the disc that got me into FLA and other industrial music. I heard about them through the band Fear Factory. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit abstract and noisy, but it's a decent industrial album
Until recently, I avoided Frontline Assembly because I regarded them as too mainstream to be any good. Read more
