"The Best of Fear Factory" is a best-of compilation album released on Roadrunner Records, featuring a collection of Fear Factory's music with the label (as such, "Archetype" and "Transgression" material are not included). The record was released without Fear Factory's involvement (they were signed to Liquid 8 Records at the time of the album's release), so it's unlikely that the album is officially recognized by the band themselves. Songs from "Concrete", as well as their various compilation, live, and remix albums, are not included.

The album was released on September 12, simultaneously with similarly unsanctioned best-of collections of the bands Sepultura, Type O Negative, and Ill Nino.
