Amazon.co.uk Review

Not since the days of the Clash and the MC5 has rock seen such political force as in the uncompromising debut from this American quartet. Expanding the hip-hop/metal style of bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage tap the spirits of vintage Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, coupled with hardcore punk intensity and Public Enemy-style grooves. "Bombtrack" opens the album with a shot of adrenaline and singer Zack de la Rocha's infuriated chorus of "Burn, burn, yes, you're gonna burn!" The intensity doesn't let up an inch on the militant "Killing In The Name" (with the inspiring chant, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"), the ultrafunky "Bullet In The Head," and the engrossing "Fistful Of Steel". Tom Morello combines time-honoured metal-guitar riffs with sounds that suggest a hip-hop scratcher over a rhythm section that simply takes no prisoners. Intelligent and aggressive, this is unimpeachably one of the best hard-rock records ever made. --James Rotondi

Customer Reviews

An all time classic (2008-03-26)

An all time classic album, often imitated, but never approached let alone surpassed. Zack's vocals are incredibly emotional, and the sheer tightness and funking musicality of the band is staggering (and that comes from a guy whos played in bands for 15 years himself.)I loved this album to death fifteen years ago. Yet, when im teaching kids today and i put it on for them, it seems just as powerful for them as it was for me back then. Stunning.

Amazin! Short album but replayable over and over again. (2008-02-23)

Having been only 2 years old when this originally come out I hadn't had the opportunity to be blown away by such amazing music with a great political message. Now older and wiser I had come across the song Killing in The Name on Guitar Hero 2. Having played that song over and over again and mesmerizing the notes I decided to by the album. So bought it of here and forgot about it then when it arrived I stuck it in the CD player. That's it a least 40 mins went with me just sitting the in amazement that for over 15 years this music was unnoticed by me. This eventually lead to me buying all of there albums and now started following Tom Morello's (Guitarist) other projects like Audioslave and The Nightwatchmen. Now to the sound. I believe it can't be linked to anything else. They have a guitarist which has bought a new meaning to innovation to an instrument with all the amazing solos and catchy riffs and stick that with Zach's lyrical geniuses and unique singing style and a good bassist and drummer you know you've hit it gold. This album is worthy of anyone's CD collection and a MUST have for any music lover.

Rage against the music (2008-01-21)

This is not music. I don't find the music at all motivating or inspiring, i think it is just a pathetic attempt to become the next Limp Bizkit. All of the song sound the same and the singer sounds like a six year old.

Chalk and Cheese (2007-11-05)

Thank goodness we don't all like the same things. I dislike this music intensely. But I completely understand that others find it excellent. Not for me though.

Rage against the Machine (2007-09-09)

An astounding piece of music. Revolutionary, both in its musical style and in its political intentions, and a symbolic album of the 90's.The self titled debut album consists of ten classic songs, created by the band's instruments alone. There is no tampering or refining of the sound, and this has two consequences: Firstly the album is very raw sounding, and this encapsulates the uncompromising aggression of Rage against the Machine. Secondly, it allows each instrument to be clearly distinguishable on the record. Morello's riffs and solos on this album are among the finest ever written, and are perfectly complimented by Commerford's rolling, funky bass lines and Wilk's solid drumming. Most distinguishable of all though, is the ferocity and vigour with which Zach de la Rocha raps the, now infamous lines "you got a Bullet in ya head", "Now you do what they told ya", "We gotta take the power back". His lyrics, fused with the rock so powerfully, carry with them an unrelenting political agenda. Messages of U.S. political injustice delivered in such an obvious and unashamed way, the likes of which has never been heard before on a record as popular as this.Without a doubt the best and boldest record of 1992. Each track is an instant classic: Catchy, anthemic, lyrically and musically awe inspiring. The record that, in a nutshell, popularized and refined the mixing of hip-hop and rap with rock music. A record made by hugely talented and daring artists, and of such epic influence as to be noticeable everywhere in nu metal and many other related genres today. Be sure to buy two copies of this CD because your first copy will get worn out.
