The Story
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 guitar sets the pace, Zach De La Rocha's lyrical attack steals the
show.
It is, after all, the EVIL EMPIRE they're raging against. De La Rocha goes for
the jugular with barbed lyircs, claiming in "Bulls On Parade" that
"this microphone explodes, shattering the molds" in a world where
"people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought
one". The group's rap-like rhythmic savvy and hard-rock edge bring them to
a new plane. In "Snake Charmer", De La Rocha speaks of
"greed" with a delirious excitement. Evidently, Rage Against The
Machine will continue to rebel against the EVILEMPIRE.
