Advantages: Lyrics, Solos, Zack’s rapping & many more
Disadvantages: Nothing much

...and suite. The incredible thing about Rage guys is they have made themselves a place and a fitting suite. Their music is mixture of Hip-hop, Metal, and Rock. I would only say, This is Hard Rock Fellows! Rating: 5/5 Killing In The Name The song is rated 89 th in the Guitar World Magazine’s Top 100 Greatest Guitar Solos.(see my review on www.guitar.about.com for details). Not much of lyrical message in this song. Only teen pleasing desperate ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, heavy, consistently excellent.
Disadvantages: None.

...way back in 1992, with Rage Against The Machine's self-titled debut album, "Rage Against The Machine". With the metal riffs, rapping vocals and experimental use of instruments, Rage Against The Machine started it all. Don't listen to any other teenager, KoRn created a weak expansion of this great genre, they did nothing in any aid of creating it, Rage did. They did it all. Zack De La Rocha, the only rapper I will go down in history as saying I ... Read review

Advantages: Everything about the damn thing!
Disadvantages: Read above sucka!

...top of a shelf lies Rage Against The Machine's self titled debut album, staring me in the face, just asking to be played. The huge fire on the front of the album, covering a rather calm looking monk, just intices further. To say this was the best album of the 90's, is no understatement. Rage were never short of controversy, they fought many worthy causes and were often in trouble for it. Indeed, the guitarist Tom Morello was arrested for protesting ... Read review

Advantages: yeah
Disadvantages: non

""Hello! ""Rage against the Machine" is the self-titled debut album by: **Zack De La Rocha **-His story begins in Irvine, CA, as a Hispanic youth in an area, which, during the '70s and '80s, was one of the most white-bred areas of California. His mother was an Anthropology Ph.D. and his father, Belo de La Rocha, was a well-known muralist, famous for his paintings of Zapatista farmers. **Tim Commerford**- Tim Commerford was born in 1968 ...

Advantages: The opinion...
Disadvantages: Hmm...

Rage Against the Machine – the Eponymous album. The band ‘Rage Against the Machine’ formed in 1989, they are old. Yes. So, they played a few early songs on some redneck Yankee stages, and the record companies became interested in Zack de la Rocha and the crew. They then, of course, went on to make this album. They started off with a cover. The cover is very *ahem* meaningful. It’s all in grayscale (black and white) with ... Read review

Advantages: sheer amazingness
Disadvantages: there aren't any

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Great all round album, there best.
Disadvantages: the band are now not toghether any more.

...lyrics.if you only buy one rage cd ever let it be this one as its their best,with a good release of anger towards the government.** There are songs which have good quotes in them like "why stand on a silent plateform fight the war f**k the norm" and "something about silence makes me sick cuz silence can be deadly sorta like a slit wrist". The amazing track listing: 1. Bombtrack 2. Killing in the Name 3. Take the Power Back 4. Settle ... Read review

Advantages: GENIUS SONG WRITING
Disadvantages: NONE

Rage Against the Machine are one of the modern day, true grit bands. Their songs are all heavy and usually have a message. The political messages behinnd their songs make the album a classic, that you can just listen to again and again. Featuring some of the greats, such as "wake up" (The song at the end of the matrix) and "killing in the name of". This is an essential album that all true indie music lovers should own. Their unique blend of heavy ... Read review

Advantages: Slice 'o classic, kick ass rock.
Disadvantages: If you don't like rock, this aint gonna change your mind

Rage against the machines first album, the self titled R.A.T.M, is known is some circles as a modern classic, and I heartily agree. In my opinion, the 90's were at a loss as regards rock music. Britpop hadn't really kicked off yet, the stratospheric rise of Nirvana had unfortunately killed off the rest of the grunge genre and eventually their frontman too, and even worse, manufactured pop was really doing quite well. Thank god for RATM, I say. ... Read review

Advantages: Lyrics
Disadvantages: none

...lyrically and of all the Rage albums I've heard, this is the best. I would recommend this CD to any fan of rock or rap or both. I don't think that Rage will ever be able to equal this album again without Zack. This really is quality music! ... Read review

Advantages: Its RAGE!!
Disadvantages: The album seems too short

This has got to be one of the funkiest "metal" bands of all time. The bassist uses funk to the max. FUNK FACTOR 5 BABY!! Or something... This album starts with an ass-whoopingly funky bass intro, for a song named Bombtrack. This goes onto one of Rage's most famous songs.. "Killing In The Name Of" which involves a very rebellious bridge.. "f**k you, I wont do what you tell me!" repeated so many times, you lose count. This then goes onto a nice solo ... Read review

Advantages: Any album that can make "bop bop wheeee" sound threatening is great
Disadvantages: None I can think of

This is one seriously great album. As a guitarist I love Tom Morello's style- from his inventive stuff ("Bullet in the Head") to more traditional style (Solo on "Freedom"). Zack's vocals are very emotive and suit their political message wonderfully. The thing I really loved about this album was how it gave off the feeling that you were really there in the recording studio with them. This is due to Zack's vocals as he throws in various shouts such ... Read review
