I bought this after I saw the matrix and heard 'wake up' and this album has changed my life.
Firstly it’s musically amazing. Just the opening bass of bombtrack blew me away and tom morello's guitar work (I stand in awe of him) not to mention Zack's vocals (wow), but what this album really did was to make me politically aware and now I realise how much America has sh*tted on the world (no offence intended anyone).
The front cover is so cool it looks; well it is this dude on fire (ouch) but its just showing how lovely and nice the rest of the album is.

Bombtrack - the opening bass line is just a glimpse of how funky the whole album is and how political it is. The lyrics are simple enough but are so effective and amazing. (10/10)

Killing in the name - simply the best song on the whole album. The funky bass, the riffs its just wow! (11/10)

Take the power back – I just love the bit bout the teacher in the class ;) (7/10)

Settle for nothing – just another amazing song, yet it’s still just a filler. It has one of my favourite quotes ‘having never seen the colour of my father's eyes’ I just really like this song! (7/10)

Bullet in the head – wow such a funkay song. It doesn’t quite make my nipples erect but wow it’s just so energetic with so much power, and it has another amazing quote ‘They say jump, you say how high’ (8/10)

Know your enemy – this is just super duper (not sounding really camp there) and this one actually has made my nipples erect :P (10/10)

Wake up - the ending credits song from the matrix is just an absolutely amazing song!! Just hear it for yourself! Its worth it trusts me! (11/10)

Fistful of steel – this is very much a rage song not their best but an amazing song full of aggression (8/10)

Township rebellion – ooh again the rage strikes again with yet another kick ass song, there really is nothing more I can say about this song apart from ‘Fight the war, f*ck the norm’ (9/10)

Freedom – this has another sweet ass funkay bass opening and its right at the end of the album (how weird? Or is that just me?) and surprising as it sounds, it’s another funkadelic song from the rage boys (10/10)
