Pros: Rage returns with some decent songs. Cons: The new sound adopted sounds like crap.
I'm a staunch Rage Against the Machine fan, but this album kinda sucks compared to the self-titled and "Battle of LA." My main gripe with "Evil Empire" is Zach's voice, Zach sounded great in the self-titled, but in this album, the tone of his voice went ...

Pros: First two, most songs. Cons: Three songs.
Evil Empire is what I like to consider the middle child of all Rage, in terms of while-a-band Rage-penned albums Though they did release a fourth album, it was after they broke up, its all covers anyway, so there's no legitimate rage to it. ...

Pros: An Excellent Sophomore Effort from Rage. Cons: Clumsy Lyrics & Lacks Freshness of Debut.
When Rage Against the Machine emerged in 1992 with their self-titled debut, they helped brought in a ...

Pros: great funky rock beats Cons: i wish it was longer
I have been a Rage Against The Machine fan for a long time. Out of the 4 recorded albums they have released, this one is the best. Their first album, the self-titled one, was also a great album. What makes Evil Empire better is how their sound is...

Pros: nice catchy tunes, Tom Morello can definitely play the guitar Cons: lyrics, and the bands overall message is too radical
The 1990's were a period in time in which the cold war was just ending. Russia and the United States were putting away their differences, the Berlin Wall was down, Communism was declining, and people were no longer afraid of a nuclear holocaust. The...

Pros: Some amazing songs Cons: Not particularly consistent
After Rage Against the Machine's much praised eponymous release, came Evil Empire. I have got bored of this album, when I first got it I didn't think it was great... But I still found myself muttering the odd line I'd heard off it. I went back and...

Pros: RATM's classic blend of rock and rap. Cons: Not as strong of a message as previous CD (Self Titled)
This CD starts out strong with the dogmatic 'People of the Sun' which is arguably the best track. It continues with the great songs 'Vietnow', 'Bulls on Parade', and my personal favorite 'Revolver'. Those first four songs are so fantastic that it took...

Pros: Powerful, meaningful, just an all out great album Cons: Some songs sound a little bit a like, little else to complain about though
CdUniverse said "This long-awaited sophomore release from Rage Against The Machine does not disappoint. Its grinding, ferocious guitar twists Public Enemy-like riffs in and out of the rhythm section's metallic pummeling. But as usual, while Tom Morello's...

Pros: Everything about it Cons: A bit too much profanity for the younger listener, but not as bad as lots of other bands.
This CD is the best Rage Against the Machine CD in my opinion. It has a lot of different sounding songs. The hit song Bulls on Parade is a song that you can listen to over and over again with out getting old. Good songs include People of the Sun,...

Pros: Proves to the world that Limp Bizkit isn't the limit of intelligence that metal-alternative rock must succomb to. Cons: It wasn't delivered in the mail to all suburban areas of America.
Somewhere between "Rage Against the Machine" and "Battle Of Los Angeles" lies this album, the second volume of music from those guitar strummmin, bass slappin, mic blasting, drum pounding revolutionaries. You can really tell RATM...

Pros: Great music and message. Cons: Some might not get the message.
This is, in my opinion, the best of Rage's albums. It was with this album that they rocketed to the top of the chart, selling millions of copies. It was this album that finally earned them the recognition that they deserved. It was with this album that...
