The Battle Of Los Angeles - Rage Against The Machine Reviews

This CD came out in 1999 and is one of RATM's fiercest works. From the opening Tom Morello power chords crunch of "Testify" right through its twelve tracks this is one powerful son of a bitch. Jake De La Rocha, whilst not my favourite singer, spits out the lyrics with poisonous venom and the dead-on rythym section of Brad Wilk and ...

I must say I was never truely a great fan of RATM. When I heard ''Rage Against The Machine'' and ''Evil Empire'' my musical taste at that time was in bias of dance orientated, popular/commercial tracks, that on reflection held little depth and passion. RATM's first two albums I can say have lead me to a far ...

I originally fell for rages debut album when i was about 12, but listening to this, their latest offering makes me say to myself "How the mighty have fallen". If any other band had released this, I would probably have given it 3 stars, but this is RATM and they are capable of so much more than this album delivers. From the off ...

A friend introduced me to Rage Against The Machine, as soon as I listened to their music I was blown away by the intense tracks. Full of meaning and wicked beats. This album is probably their best offering as I have listened to their others. This album being their most important as well. It contains their best tunes and most famous. ...

First of all I would like to point out that I am not one of those people who just keeps saying "the first album was the best".Bearing that in mind I would like to sya "the second album was the worst".Battle of L.A. is areturn to the greatness first plumbed by Rage Against the Machine in their first album. This album has ...

This album is great, if you are a fan of RaTM, or just like them at the least, then this is an essential product that is for you. The amazing guitar riffs provided by the talented guitarist, Tom Morrello, really add a heavy and atmospheric effect to the music. One song, namely Guerilla Radio, is included in the successful, playable ...

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 ...

Rage Against the Machine is perhaps one of the most high energy, talented, and focused rock group of the era. Never before has anyone heard such perfected and new guitar sounds and political messages being spurted into one group. What does the Album sound Like? "The Battle of Los Angeles" is a album filled with rap ...

Many say htis album is not as good or better than any of the other RATM albums-to that i say-who cares? Why compare when u can just sit back and listen to the musical genius behind this quality music. Only vocals,bass,guitar and drums are used to make some truly extra-ordinary sounds that express the bands concerns about censorship inner-city ...

once again RATM produce another quality album if not up to their usual standard. At least they are honest and still carry the beliefs that many other bands lose when they progress thrpughout their career but RATM continue to show angst towards any sort of power. "Testify" is a strong opening to the album which has the rock feel to it. It ...

As angry as ever and with a host of new Morello guitar sounds, Rage against the machine prove that their 3 year absense hasn't done anything to alleviate their fury, or tom's sonic ambition. The sounds are deranged, but remain as innovative as ever. "Maria" features a high-pitched wail - almost a police siren sound, while on ...

Rage have yet again released an albumn which represents everything that they stand for. The battle of los angeles is like other rage projects overtly political as well as having amazing guitar based music throughout. Tom Morrelo continues to prove that he is one of the best guitarists in the world in song such as "Guerilla radio" and ...

When i first listened to this cd, it sounded like all other heavy metal music. loud, singer rappin, heavy bass, trigger happy cymbals, and the normal "Parental Guidance Explicit Lyrics" sticker on the front. But you listen to it more. and more. and then you get sucked into the lyrics. you read them. they're great lyrics. ...

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 ...

3 albums in nearly 10 years is not good, but atleast the band are honest in promising us their very best rather than releasing dodgy albums every two years. In 1999 then, we see that RATM return (after an ongoing band scuffle...again!) with a new album, collectively written (unlike their last), and takes the best of both their last albums and ...

The album has dispointed me greatly. The sound is exactly the same as thier previous two albums. The lyrics as usual are great but the music is very boring if you have RATM previous two albums. (See My Reviews). I reallly hope that RATM 4th album is an improvment as I am begining to lose intrest in them. Zach the lead signer is ...

An excellent return by Rage. This is the bands third album and it follows the tried and tested Rage Against The Machine Sound, which if you like it then it is good, but if not, then look elsewhere. Sort of a rockier Chili Peppers with politics. Rage have always had a thoroughly important message to shout about. The first half of the album is ...
