 The Battle of Los Angeles Nov 22, 2009
The Battle of Los Angeles being RATM 1999 release and their 3rd studio album and is a mix of rap metal, alternative metal, and funk metal. The booklet contains all the lyrics including a list of whom plays what on the album. They also have a list of political groups and organizations that the band condones. The critics and the public at large liked this album. Allmusic, Rolling Stone Vibe all gave the album favorable reviews. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, and in Canada and #23 in the UK. The album spawned four singles, "Guerilla Radio", "Sleep Now in the Fire", "Testify" and "Calm Like a Bomb". 4/5.

 The best they have to offer! Jan 27, 2009
Amazing.. is all that needs to be said about this band and their third album. The pure raw rage of Zack's lyrics and Tom's fantastic guitar skills makes this their best album yet. After hearing the crappy cover version of "Killing in the Name", from Guitar Hero, I decided to check these guys out for myself. And that one song was all it took for me to get hooked on these guys. But their third album definately raises the bar. To me, CALM LIKE A BOMB is quite definately the best song on here! I love the pulsating lyrics and the guitar on this song, especially during the choruses. Tim also did an impressive job on making that awesome affect on his bass. If you never heard of these guys, you are definately missing out on the best that music in general has to offer! BUY THIS ALBUM!!

The Battle Of Los Angeles Dec 31, 2008
The final album by the politically active metal/funk band is by far their best. Even though it's a combination of all the genres I dislike--rap, metal, with a little bit of funk--it's still one of the most powerful albums I've ever listened to. The whole thing is just so incredibly catchy that it makes you want to listen to it over and over again. One thing that makes the band so great is that they're so much different than any other band today or in the 90s when they were most popular. They always took a stand and they did whatever they felt was right to do, whether it was putting upsidedown American flags up on stage during a performance on Saturday Night Live or going on stage completely naked at Lollapalooza. No other band has ever had such revolutionary ideas, and it's very unfortunate that they broke up. Anyway, Los Angeles is a great album, and I recommend it even if you don't like crappy music.

 More like The Skirmish of Fort Lauderdale Dec 01, 2008
Had it not been for the strange covers release following, TBOLA would have been a good enough last release for this trailblazing group. It sounds like their most accessible, least antagonistic work, breaking down the uniquely aggressive rap-rock dynamic into almost an exact science, leaving a flabby midsection which negates that added spark of rawness which truly brilliant Rage tracks always teetered against. Even so, Morello and friends can do no worse then offer a perfectly solid release of standardized Rage mechanics.
