The Battle Of Los Angeles - Rage Against The Machine

Okay, I have to admit that when I first bought this album I was not a huge fan of it, I listened to it a few times and it took a back slot in my CD wallet, I have been a fan of Rage Against The Machine for a while, but the only song that I really loved at the time on the album was ‘Guerrilla Radio’ which everyone should know is off the MI2 soundtrack, as well as the main tune of the game smash hit ‘Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2’ so it is quite a well known song.

The First Album was without a doubt there greatest work, It has Raw feeling and anger that some of there later sfuff misses! They harnessed that into great music, tracks like bullet in the head are just plain great! Now on there 3rd album they are still going strong, sending messages by there music, and helpin causes, the new album rock. so do they, buy it, it is great. They sound better than ever and will have your blood pumpin and your legs jumpin, so go out and buy this great album, and start moshing ...
