Rage Against The Machine Explicit Lyrics

Great album, I bought it because I liked killing In the name and left having multiple new favorite songs

I did not like cd

Delivery was surprisingly quick. Blew my mind. Good deal.

Debut lp for RATM and they didn’t disappoint! Each track is a banger and sounds brilliant on 180g. But with confidence!!

For the longest time, I was not really interested in Rage Against The Machine, seeing as I have never really been into anything that is more rap/hip-hop influenced, but I gave in and bought this album to give it a try, seeing as so many people were telling me how great these guys are. After listening to it multiple times through, I have to say that they were right. Everything about them, from Zack De LaRocha's aggressive tonality with the lyrics to the trio of instruments working together as a layered team, is simply amazing.Akin to some of my other reviews, there is not much I can say that has not already been said by other reviewers. I very much agree that the lyrics, while full of blunt and pure anger, are very passionate and well-written in the sense that they actually stand for something. I have always liked to describe these guys as a 1990s Rap/Rock version of The Clash, in terms of the politically-driven meaning of their lyrics. Also, I do not tie these guys into the trend-laden nu-metal scene. RATM are their own act entirely, and they are truly original in their ways.Regarding the instumentation, I can say that the bass guitar, wielded by the mighty Tim Commerford, is the part that really stands out the most, and that is something that cannot really be said for too many other bands out there. His licks just blow me away every single time I put this album on. What I also love about RATM is, despite the fact that they are strongly hip-hop oriented, they never make use of DJs, drum machines, turntables or any of that other computerized wankery, unlike others such as Linkin Park or Skipknot. RATM compose their music with 100% REAL INSTRUMENTS - PROPS to them for that!All in all, if you like a good rap/rock combo that takes an aggressive political stand, then please do not hesitate to pick up this album without delay. It is a classic, no matter which way you look at it!

Was a gift for my dad and he loved it

Amazing Album but it arrived slightly warped...Classic black vinyl.

I love The Track Take The Power Back!!!
