CONTRIBUTE A REVIEW **
Like the covers band you can see down your local tonight Fear Factory try to make 'Cars' sound like the original, so much so that they even have Gary Numan on "guest" vocals! That'll lend it some authenticity, ah boys? Why is this listed under Fear Factory? Surely it is Gary Numan featuring Fear Factory? The other two tracks have all the hallmarks / shortcomings of this cyber-metal genre. Cartoon ogre vocals, "cutting" guitar and robotic drumming. As this is a cover which does nothing with the original I'll write about the cover. Fear Factory line up looking all hard and industrial in black and there he is Gary Numan in his white make up at the end! He hasn't changed. Not a bit. Shame you can't say the same for Fear Factory. All in all it's just bad White Zombie. Why go here when you can go there?
