...much like any live album, I would say to people, dont buy it untill youve heard the studio stuff, its not worth finding out about the songs for a live album, when you listen to a studio CD your listening to songs, when you listen to a live album, your hearing the band, in live, raw, gutfelt emotion. To buy this album with out hearing RATM would be stupid, but for fans, this CD captures Rage in their finest, sell out moment, with a belt full of hits ...

Review of Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium [PA] - Rage Against The Machine

The best song EVER!

Advantages: Too much to write
Disadvantages: Don't mock 'em

...the soundtrack of my mate. Wake Up is the only song i've heard from Rage against the Machine but i reckon its amazing. Musically the chords, beats and drones are very complex, lyrically it's original and meaningfull. Rage against the Machine shine a whole new light on alternative music, i am sure that they will enspire many alternative groups in the future as Nirvana did in the early 90's. ...

Review of Wake Up (A Tribute To Rage Against The Machine) - Various Artists

Such a shame Zack de la Rocha left...

Advantages: The best track by far is the version of Bob Dylan's 'Maggie's Farm.' Sheer class.
Disadvantages: Innovative though it may be, 'Beautiful World' doesn' belong.

This is a must for all dedicated Rage fans, but those not familiar with the aggression, power and political and musical genius of Rage, his shouldn't be the first album of theirs that you buy (I recommend any of their other albums to anyone). This is a masterful collection, bringing together te styles of music that influenced arguably THE most innovative band in history. Opener 'Microphone Fiend' (originally penned by rapers Eric. B and Rakim) and ...
...Rage to have writte themselves, but there are ideas on this album many would not think associated to RATM, such as the cover of Devo's 'Beautiful World', where frontman de la Rocha actually sings rather than his usual... well, usual sound! This is a gem of an album, with everything one expects from Rage, and more. Their homage to long-time buddies Cypress Hill comes off with devestating effect, as does Springsteen's 'The Ghost of Tom Joad.' True ...

Review of Renegades (Limited Edition) [PA] - Rage Against The Machine

Rage Against The Machine Album Review

Advantages: Hard, unconventional rock
Disadvantages: An acquired taste

Rap-Metal group Rage Against the Machine released their self-titled debut album in 1992, but the music is just as relevant today as it was back then. Songs like 'Take the Power Back' and 'Freedom' are about individual exploitation by the cultural, social, and political systems in society, and how the people must be willing to rise up and overcome such oppression. You may have also recently heard about the small matter of 'Killing in the Name' beating ...
...when you first listen to Rage is that they mean business. The whole album is intended to provide voice to the silent minority: Those individuals that feel neglected and abused are given hope through the band's resonant, unashamed, confrontational expression. Guitarist Tom Morello's anomalous riffs, rhythmic special effects and extended tapping techniques were some of the most powerful sounds to come from a guitar in that era, and remain unchallenged ...

...Track Two Captain Morgans Revenge 5/5 This is a brilliant track, infact it is better than brilliant! I love the guitarring its really catching and the drums are excellent. Lyrics are immense and stick in your head 'So have no fear and dont look back the afterlife awaits' I love that line espesially I dont know why.
