Criticisms
Like many industrial music albums which employ the use of guitar, Millennium received a wide range of reviews, especially from fans used to the electronic music dominated style of Front Line Assembly's former works. Millennium did not use so many guitars per se, but rather an extensive amount of guitar samples from established heavy metal acts, such as Pantera's characteristic riff's from A New Level in the title track. This phenomenon of fan rejection tends to exist not only when industrial music artists use guitar, but attempt any type of cross-over style of music.
That said, by another author, Millennium is a very powerful piece of work. The track Vigilante is full of threat. The track Victim of a Criminal is an excellent fusion of rap and industrial - a combination that had a lot of "potential".
The album contains several voice and effect samples from the films Falling Down, to which at least the first track is also thematically related, and Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.
