Front Line Assembly ‎– Hard Wired

Infra Red Combat is right up there with my favorite `industrial' songs of all time. I love music that builds and builds into a mound of emotion and sound, and this song does just that. The whole album almost takes on an organic-like form. Every piece twists and grows through amazingly talented instrumentation, vocals and lyrics. I'm not even going to attempt to analyze every track or do a long drawn out comparison from previous albums, because I'm just not good at doing that. I will, however, tell you this is (in my opinion) Front Line Assembly's finest piece of work till date as an album, as an ensemble.

Special mention also for the incredible Modus Operandi ; really diabolical (in a positive way if on exist ) ! )and awesomely crafted; and for Mortal; perfect soundtrack for the industrial city of 90s (why i think always Detroit or Vancouver as an Indstrial city ?)
How much i like the SOUND of this album; the mixing and production are really perfect.

Easily one of FLA's best, and most overlooked releases. The music is a mix of the EBM seen on Tactical Neural Implant, and the Industrial seen on Millenium (a lot fewer guitars though). Though not all of the songs are something to cream over, some of the band's best songs can be found on this album. Check this one out - you won't be disappointed. I guarantee it.
