Review by KosieKat for Front Line Assembly - Millennium (1994)

This was a very enjoyable album. This is the type of industrial album you can just throw on when you want to kick back with the boys and hang out which is what ultimately I did as I listened to this as  our friend biked over and my husband and he sat out on the patio with me jamming out to this album.  Front Line Assembly has a LARGE catalouge but this is really their  first foray into actual METAL if I recall and the array of sampling of the guitar riffs used throughout the album are excellent, from Sepultura to Pantera, the riffs  selected to be used by the duo help carry the heavy metallic sounds of their electronic instrumentation and vocals. This album is very danceable which is super fun, I love when the rivets pound out in a way that lets me get up and move. While the whole album is good I believe the stand out tracks are the title track -Millenium and Division of Mind. The rap track, Victim of a Criminal is also excellent  IMO and whle some may protest its place as I told my listening companions yesterday who were confused and thought the album changed , this is an industrial album what would it be without a singular track somewhere in the middle that doesn't seem to fit in with any of the others sonically as a statement piece? And if you don't like this album? Give it another try, because I'm an American and you're a sick asshole ;)
