Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Not since the days of the Clash and the MC5 has rock seen such political force as in the uncompromising debut from this American quartet. Expanding the hip-hop/metal style of bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage tap the spirits of vintage Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, coupled with hardcore punk intensity and Public Enemy-style grooves. "Bombtrack" opens the album with a shot of adrenaline and singer Zack de la Rocha's infuriated chorus of "Burn, burn, yes, you're gonna burn!" The intensity doesn't let up an inch on the militant "Killing In The Name" (with the inspiring chant, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"), the ultrafunky "Bullet In The Head," and the engrossing "Fistful Of Steel". Tom Morello combines time-honoured metal-guitar riffs with sounds that suggest a hip-hop scratcher over a rhythm section that simply takes no prisoners. Intelligent and aggressive, this is unimpeachably one of the best hard-rock records ever made. --James Rotondi

- Great Album
This is most definately an album that deserves at least 3 listenings to from everyone who says they like listening to music because it is very very very good.

The opening title track 'Bombtrack' is a perfect track to listen to to understand this album because it is almost like a round up of everything to come in the rest of the album. Driving guitar riffs and licks (yes licks) from Morello and angsty hip lyrics from Zach. In fact the only thing it really doesn't convey about the album is quite the intricate brilliance of Morello's soloing ability and guitar playing. What made Rage popular back then still holds so much appeal today to real music fans because they are a truly unique experiance and their debut album can easily be ... Read More:

- An all time classic
An all time classic album, often imitated, but never approached let alone surpassed. Zack's vocals are incredibly emotional, and the sheer tightness and funking musicality of the band is staggering (and that comes from a guy whos played in bands for 15 years himself.)

I loved this album to death fifteen years ago. Yet, when im teaching kids today and i put it on for them, it seems just as powerful for them as it was for me back then. Stunning.

- Amazin! Short album but replayable over and over again.
Having been only 2 years old when this originally come out I hadn't had the opportunity to be blown away by such amazing music with a great political message. Now older and wiser I had come across the song Killing in The Name on Guitar Hero 2. Having played that song over and over again and mesmerizing the notes I decided to by the album. So bought it of here and forgot about it then when it arrived I stuck it in the CD player. That's it a least 40 mins went with me just sitting the in amazement that for over 15 years this music was unnoticed by me. This eventually lead to me buying all of there albums and now started following Tom Morello's (Guitarist) other projects like Audioslave and The Nightwatchmen.

Now to the sound. I believe ... Read More:

- Rage against the music
This is not music. I don't find the music at all motivating or inspiring, i think it is just a pathetic attempt to become the next Limp Bizkit. All of the song sound the same and the singer sounds like a six year old.

- Chalk and Cheese
Thank goodness we don't all like the same things. I dislike this music intensely. But I completely understand that others find it excellent. Not for me though.
