Evil Empire [PA] by Rage Against the Machine

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...

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: Good strong beat with a rhythmic blend of music.
Cons: Songs may drag longer than usual.

Rage Against the Machine's hard speed metal way in Evil Empire has hit big. With a Grammy Nomination in '96 this Cd has been a success. With a eleven track cd with over 45 minutes this Cd is one of the best there is. With loud guitar drum playing...

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: 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: Hard hitting , exciting and great sounds
Cons: Not for those who like quiet music

Rage Against the Machine is hard hitting and explosive music. Evil empire is proof of this. Zack De La Rocha always the political advocate makes his message again. Vietnow is an obvious message about Vietnom. People of the Sun, one of the singles...

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: Hard hitting message
Cons: Explicit

Definatley not a one hit wonder! This group of 4 hard hitting guys came back and delivered. Though not as good as their last album this one is definatley a keeper. Buy this album and you will not be disappointed. With songs like Vietnow and Bulls on...

Pros: Great sound: Rock/Hip-Hop; Great Message
Cons: Listen to it so much, I've put hundreds of scratches on the CD

Rage Against the Machine is the epitome of Hip-Hop combined with Rock. I love this band. I own both Evil Empire and The Battle of Los Angeles. Both are great albums. I recommend that you buy this album first, and The Battle of Los Angeles later.
...

Pros: Great, lyrics, philosophy, rhythm
Cons: SLIGHTLY vulgar

This CD is just plain wonderful, see title. I love this CD, because it is absolutely divine in the meanings of the songs. "This is for the People of the Sun" refers to the epic struggle between Cortez (quetzalcoatl!?!?!?) and the mayan...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: nothing

I can't enough of this band. This album is a little laid back compared to their first cd, I think the band just decide to tone down the grooves and put their lyrics out in the open. By doing they enabled the fans to go a little deeper into what this...

Pros: Innovative, Exciting
Cons: You may not agree with the political views

Rage Against The Machine, as we all must know by now, is not your average pop band. In fact, its probably not even your average rock band. Rage is a band that established the Rock/Rap genre years before any other artist was even thinking along those...

Pros: Beats
Cons: ?

Can anyone else move a crowd like Rage? I'm not sure. This Sophomore effort is an absolutely amazing, inspiring, life changing compilation, which cries out for humanity in a world wrought with injustice.
This album emphasizes the hip hop over the...

Pros: Everything
Cons: I think not

This is the second album that Rage Against The Machine put forth to the general public. In its style of Rap-Rock, hard core beat, and awesome political lyrics, it is definitely in style with RATM's first album. The Evil Empire album definitely got much...
