Rage Against the Machine was considered one of the most offensive bands back in the day to true rock fans, because the band would combine a rap vocal style with heavy metal and make some of the most annoying music you could imagine. Well, time has actually been a little bit nicer to this band compared to others, and I find myself not totally hating the music on here which is a BIG surprise because I thought I'd absolutely hate this album when I came back to it 10 years later. The guitar riffs are somewhat more memorable to me than they were all those years ago, and while the vocals don't appeal to me at all, at least some of the lyrics are quite refreshing and I understand the point the band was trying to make.
Rarely had a group debuted, in singles-form no less, with a more potent attack than the last track of their most powerfully raw output, making radio radical if just for a moment. The group might have refined a few songwriting techniques in future releases but never sounded as urgent again, only pulling away from what their moniker and manifesto originally ordained.
I ordered this on the 29th od december, an never recieved it from the supposed shiping location.
This album really started the rapmetal scene. This is an excellent album featuring some really great songs on it.Hits:Bombtrack Killing in the Name Bullet in the Head Wake Up Fistful of Steel Freedom Settle for NothingAlright tracks:Take The power back Know your enemy Township rebellionOverall this album is great there are a few songs that I didnt care for but they are not even bad they just feel a bit filler.Pick this album up
Everything, from Zack de la Rocha's hardcore political lyrics to the great innovative guitarring from Tom Morello, their first album is by far their best. The reason I say "second" greatest is because my other favorite is DISTURBED. Despite that, these guys are awesome. I can't think of anything bad about them. Heres is my top five favs starting with my fav.1.Wake up2.Killing in the name3.know your enemy4.Bombtrack5.Bullet in the headThis album is what got me into these guys in the first place, now i'm just hoping they will get back together and make another awesome album.
