 R$GE $G$INST THE M$CHINE Jan 26, 2010
Four self-styled "political activists" rant against the evil, white-corporate-male, woman-commodifying, minority-oppressing, developing-nation-exploiting hegemony. Without a single new idea, RATM's music simply regurgitates Noam Chomsky style rhetoric in a way that makes Matt Damon's ignorant monologue in Good Will Hunting seem tolerable. Sure, these guys are Communists, but they'll gladly take your $$$$$ -- if you're stupid enough, that is, to give it to them. Bon appetit.
 Evil Empire Dec 01, 2009
Evil Empire being RATM's second studio album and their 1996 release is a mix of rap metal, alternative metal and funk metal. All the lyrics are included in the booklet and we also get a list of whom plays what. On the back of the lyrics is a photograph of books that have influenced the bands lyrics and even if I disagree with their politics one has to admire that are willing stand up for their politics and not back down. They also write lyrics that do not hit you over the head but write well-written lyrics that make you think. Allmusic, Robert Christgau and Sputnikmusic all gave the album great marks in their reviews. Tracks that standout on this release are "Bulls on Parade", "People of the Sun" and "Vietnow". 4/5.
1996 Rage's Evil Empire Sep 29, 2009
This record was refreshing to hear, when it came out in 1996, and still holds up, almost 14 years later. Although, I would like to hear a new studio record from the band if they are still putting out music.

 Power is fleeting, hip-rock isn't Feb 09, 2009
Its funny how so much of this is the opposite of true rise-up music in retrospect. Rage was a great group, and EE is as consistent an album they made, but (as with all their work) besides for a few key songs where the concentrated elements fully come together, verse/chorus simply drift by on autopilot, dressed-up with de la Rocha's pre-packaged temperament of sometimes sterile emceeing, though driven, of course, with Morello's ambitiously distorted manifestos and anchored by the rest.
