I usually skip French artists, because they either sing in French or broken English (no-offense, I just prefer to understand the lyrics). And I was surprised that neither one of those was the case! At least now I can sing along without having to guess the words, heh. I simply love the piano/keyboard. Keep up the great work!

"my great descent": A creepy track, with a very chromatic piano and with either wailing or very low processed guitars.
"the game": There's some jazz drumming rhythms and piano progressions, with wailing guitars being a background layer, although they take up more and more space as the track progresses. Vocals are more intelligible on this one.
"mr weirdo": An awesome piano riff and guitars that blend in with the progression. Vocals provide more texture.
"tasteless": The drums and piano take up more space on this one, and there's a synthesizer buzzing in the background from time to time. The sometimes falsetto vocals contrast with the low piano.
"spacecat": Being a more funk/hip-hop oriented piece, it has some great guitar riffs and even has two synthesized organ-like breakdowns.
"deep catchy hole": Very heavy drumming on this one. Synthesized bass. Guitars take the main stage some time later.
"all you've never felt": Another jazz-like track, with the piano and drums taking the main stage again.
"take the virus out": A very heavy guitar riff and screeching, disturbing breakdowns.
"something's wrong": This time the full complex enters - jazz-like drums and guitar layers in different octaves, joined by a dark, chromatic piano and noisy synthesizers in the chorus.
"the only way out": Another guitar-dependent track, with different riffs entering at different timings.
"the price": The first and only track that's heavily affected by synthesizers and programming, although there's a clear guitar in the chorus.
"weird medicine": Although the weak verse parts don't really make you want to carry on with listening, the track has a very optimistic and strong chorus. Note the absense of drums.

I see some comparisons with Nine Inch Nails here. I agree, but would like to assert it my way: this is what Nine Inch Nails could sound like today if Trent Reznor was listening to modern rock bands some more.
I really enjoyed listening to this album. I especially liked "mr weirdo", "tasteless", "something's wrong" and "the price". Whenever I'll get the chance to download this album, I sure will.

Da machen NIN mal Ferien und was passiert? -- FBS stapft in ihren Fußabdrücken. Und das nicht schlecht! Es klingt mir ein bisschen ZU sehr nach NIN, ein bisschen zu wenig nach was Eigenem. Aber NIN ist toll, da ist das hier nicht schlechter. Wenn es jetzt noch eine Weiterentwicklung gibt, quasi beyond NIN -- dann gibt's auch 10 Punkte von mir. Großen Respekt.

This guy ROCKS! Every damn track is just awesome. i love the style, the creativity, the loos vocals. your singing is amazing and something ( a sound ) i strive to sound like. You are a idol and a demi-god at worst.
I worship your music. This is awesome as hell.
Okay, enough rave - honestly.
The instrumentation is very stylish and creative - its very nine inch nails - and i love them as well. you are awesome.

After Trent Reznor stopped doing heroin the sound of NIN changed and their new sound did not really get me until their CC licensed album. Why do I mention that here? Because fresh body shop is (IMHO) what Trent was trying to do with his new sound but couldn't get right. Tasteless is exactly what I expect from a modern pop-industrial band. This album does not let me down. The drums in "tasteless" for example are prefect, the bass deep and the piano haunting. It is a perfect track. The vocals are great. "Spacecat" makes me want to walk into the late 70's and play a game of Pac-man, yet the track is still nicely modern (more Beck meet TKK though). The "deep catchy hole" goes right back to the brilliant pop-industrial sound. The best 2 tracks (IMO) are "take the virus out" and the "only way out." Great album.

This one deserves a 10. Not that it's perfect, but it's the best album I've heard on Jamendo so far. Love the piano bits. The drums could sound better but this is really good for something that's obviously homemade. I would love to see you guys live! Great songs!

When I share FBS with friends, I usually put both Make This End and Tasteless on the same CD. First, we get the hard rock, guitar laden Make This End, which feels rough yet tight and beat-worthy. It'as a good introduction to the sound of FBS.

But then the listener gets to Tasteless. The biggest problem with FBS was the lack of strong songs, but in Tasteless, they're all excellent. It's musically different, ranging from many different genres that Make This End never dreamed of, and yet each song feels much more potent and thought out. It takes the quality of Make This End and spreads it around, making an enjoyable listen all the way through.

Songs like "Spacecat" and "Deep Catchy Hole" really show off FBS's talant at making an accessible Industrial pop song. Nine Inch Nails can make one too, but it's usually overpowered with static and depth that the typical music listener fails to comprehend. With FBS, the songs are catchy, fun, interesting, easy to get into, but not easy to come out of.

Tasteless is a great album, one that anyone can enjoy.
