Currently listening to Fear Factory's 'Obselete' album. Crazy to think this came out nearly eight years ago, it sounds fresher and more original than most stuff coming out now. One of the greatest metal albums of all time without doubt IMO, not to mention one of the greatest concept albums. It's got everything, crushing tech-heavy brutality (Shock, Edgecrusher), haunting melody (Descent, Smasher/Devourer) and very thought provoking, moving lyrics (Securiton-Police State 2000, Freedom or Fire, Resurrection). I don't use the term lightly but this really is a masterpiece. One of the best bands I've ever seen live aswell, second only to the mighty Machine Head.
