Rage Against The Machine in general Reviews

Firstly, did anyone manage to see then at Reading? If you did then you are so lucky! The first time I heard them I must have been around 13. This powerful rock rap combo combined with heavy riffs and lyrics that pumped you full of adrenaline! I had officially hit puberty and been rushed into a state of anarchy. Ok well not quite but ...  Read the complete review

A few years back, my younger brother became a bit of a metalhead. He used to come home with CD's from an all manner of strange bands, with names that resembled Nazi Death Squads. At first we ridiculed him, calling him names and laughing at his strange dress sense (something about wearing black in the middle of summer...). Then as time passed ...  Read the complete review

It opens with the sight of Tom Morello strapped with his double neck guitar and the greatness begins. You are first treated to a excellent cover song. "THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD" is quite awesome. but it is nothing for the next song. their performance of Vietnow is my favorite performance by them every caught on tape... ...  Read the complete review

When i first listened to some of Rage Against The Machines songs, I thought what the hell is this rubbish, as I was into garage music and used to that. But after I got bored of garage and I started listening to rock, and I began to like Rage Against The Machine. Also by watching their music videos, it made me like the music a lot more. I dont know ...  Read the complete review

‘Rage Against The Machine’ have been called the best band ever by a hell of a lot of people, I myself have three albums of theirs, and I would say that it might just be right. Rage Against the Machine was formed in Los Angeles in 1991. Vocalist Zack De La Rocha was previously in a band called ‘Inside Out’ and took the ...  Read the complete review

In a galaxy far away the spaceship trooper Spock utters with whimper "Captain, We've an unidentified object straight ahead. I think it's some form of covers album". Captain Kirk replies with a haughty disdain "Get with the program man!!!!!! A covers album it may be, but this is no ordinary covers album. Re-adjust your ...  Read the complete review

I’ve often wondered what nuns do for fun. Seriously. Not being deeply religious myself, I can only marvel at the level of commitment these women have made to God, forsaking in the process a multitude of everyday pleasures most people take for granted, such as rollerblading and curly fries. Of course, any satisfaction derived from these ...  Read the complete review

Zack may have quit the band, but he's left the fans a real mindblower to keep them going on with. This album hits like a revolutionary fist into the face of oppression. This is simply one of the most amazing diverse and searing albums you will ever hear. It gives a real insight to the music that shaped the band, whilst maintaining ...  Read the complete review

This RATM covers album is the last studio album featuring their recently departed singer Zack De La Rocha - there's plans for a live album release after this, but in studio terms it's the last, and it's just a shame that it's covers not originals. Hopefully this won't be the last RATM album either if the band are fit enough to ...  Read the complete review

If you are reading these very words then i need not bother try to justify why i, couplled with many(but too few) feel that Rage Against the Machine were the best band of all time.Some of the ignorant at this stage may be asking why i used the past tense `were the best band` and my reasoning is totally justified. Zack de la Rocha has officially ...  Read the complete review

Rage Against The Machine have a very powerful sound. Their style is kind of a hybrid betweem hip hop and metal, but is far better than the prospect of that actually sounds. They have a definite political message to get across in their music, which is always commendable, and some of the tunes they have come up with are utterly unmissable. Killing ...  Read the complete review

Update: At the end of this review you may note a paragraph about rifts in the band and so on. Well recently Zach De La Rocha, the rapper/lyricist, left the band and is, as yet, unreplaced. There are rumours of the Cypress hill rapper filling the void but the future is still uncertain. I for one sincerely hope they can get it together and continue. ...  Read the complete review

Rage against the Machine are without a doubt not only one of the best, but surely also one of the most important bands to emerge from the 90s. Tom Morello, the guitar genius is surely one of the most influential players to today's latest generations of bands and guitarists, such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc., etc.. Yet in this country, Rage are ...  Read the complete review

One of the best known bands with their own unique style of music, Rage against the Machine are a band who don't play their music to make money and earn fame. They are an idealistic band beliving in fighting for what is right, I myself do not have the same outlook on life as they do, however I have the utmost respect and admiration for them as ...  Read the complete review
