Ooh, nice typo there. Fucking phone.

Although not being able to change it is infinitely dumber.

Textures are a decent act, would be a cool show. Soilwork/SYL opened last time I saw Fear Factory.

What does Ravendoom think of the latest FF album?

You could always check. It's not hard

Strange how they jam all the demanufacture material in at the end.

I thought that having looked at the previous setlists.

Turns out they're doing it as a bit of a "tribute" to Roadrunner Records because 'Soul of A New Machine' is 20 years old this year and it was off the back of that album that Roadrunner really worked hard on pushing 'Demanufacture' and made it a success. Would have made more sense to me to play a bunch of SOANM stuff though...

Incidentally, that was the first time they've played 'Cars' live since 1999.

Not complaining about Soul or Demanufacture songs at all, just seems odd to stick them all together.

They always have good setlists, the pacing of them always seems strange. I saw them open with 5 straight songs from Soul of a New Machine once (on the Transgression tour), not that I am complaining...

Looks like the right amount of Industrialist songs were played. Very nice set.

Good set besides the Digimortal tracks. The only good song from Digimortal they should be playing is Acres of Skin.

Cars, really? That song is boooooooring.

I haven't seen them since the tour for Archetype, so I'd like to catch them with Dino back.
