Rage Against The Machine - “Rage Against The Machine” Classic Review

Comments

Darryl Powell

Myke C-Town's last classic review 😢

Zach S

The guitar sound ken made had me dying 😂

Nick Gray

This album and band was basically my gateway into getting into metal/rock music.

Rage were definitely a great pipeline for kids who weren’t into hip-hop or leftism to get into hip-hop and leftism. All three of their core albums are so good.

Love the conversation this generated with the crew, it’s definitely a defining album.

Rage Against the Machine is a classic band and this is a classic album. I fell in love with the sound of it at an early age, like the early 2000s, and kept searching for a band that would hit the same notes for me but nothing came close. I realized that I wasn't into rock/metal, I was into rap and specifically underground rap. I wouldn't have the taste in music I have today without this album or this band. Then you bring in the politics and the introduction of the revolutionaries and man, I was HEAVILY influenced. I had never heard anyone talk about Mexican history or plight like this, and I still haven't since, but as a young Mexican kid this really hit home for me. I learned so much about my ancestors and the country my parents came from because this album made me research everything they talked about. I would have never learned 90% of the history regarding "the new world" if it wasn't for them, especially Mexico. Fun fact: the first town in the Americas to be founded by FREE black people was in Mexico. Gaspar Yanga led a rebellion against the Spanish and made them leave him and his people alone, making him the first liberator of the Americas.

I’m pretty excited everyone checked this album out. This album is definitely a classic album. Call them a rock or a hip hop album, it should be listened to anyone who likes music at least once. No one was doing anything like this 1992. They definitely deserve a place in both rock and hip hop history. Personally, Evil Empire is my favorite album from them. It encapsulates the best elements from this band in all aspects in my opinion but all 3 of their albums are great.

First time hearing the album and I’m about halfway through, it’s solid so far. We need more classic reviews put me on game

Never thought my favorite album of all time would be nominated and win here. This album was and is everything to me. It opened my eyes to the fact that minorities and oppressed groups of people were still going through the same shit that Zack as rapping about in 1992. As a guitar player/musician, this album was accessible to me as a guitar player and someone who got into hip hop in 2016 right when I graduated college, this album got me into RTJ which then got me into Outkast and then hip hop as a whole. I got a chance to see them live when RTJ opened for them in 2022 and it was easily the best show of my life. This album is Led Zeppelin and Kiss meets Public Enemy meets NWA. ZDLR's poetry is incredible and it's fascinating and sad how a lot of what he rapped about is still relevant today. This is to me what Illmatic is to B, Diary is to Ken, what Black album is to Feefo, what Reasonable Doubt is to Rod, and what 93 till is to Myke. I'm not the person who nominated this album, but I couldn't be happier yall reviewed it and discussed it.

Ken, as a guitar player, I wanna put you on some game and give some context on Tom Morello and his playing. He grew up listening to Zeppelin and Kiss/Aerosmith and a lot of 80s shred music (aka hella fast notes). His mom was a public school teacher and didn't shy away from teaching him about a lot of the not-as-discussed parts of American history and that lead him to discovering hip hop with Run DMC, NWA, and of course, PE. PE and Bomb Squad are probably some of his biggest sonic influences along with guitar player Eddie Van Halen. Eddie was known for using some guitar pedals to alter his sound. It was novel at the time cause guitar pedals hadn't really made headway until the early/mid 80s. Tom wanted to use those pedals and recontextualize how they worked and use them on his guitar to get sounds similar to Bomb Squads' production. Loud, brash, chaotic, and abrasive. No one was doing that sound in the 90s, before, or honestly, after. Muse might be the closest in terms of 'weird' guitar sounds along with Jack White of the White Stripes with weird sounds in the 'mainstream'. Rage's bass player also made his own guitar effects for his bass by himself to get weird sounds. They went to great lengths to be unique. I equate THAT to DJs scrataching off labels on their records so others can't cop and see what they're using. Lastly, on the back of all the Rage albums, there's a footnote that says "All sounds on this album are made with voice, guitar, bass, and drums." This was done to point out to fans they weren't sampling or biting or lifting hip hop sounds into their art, but getting inspired by and carving their own lane.

That Zack solo rap album is locked in the same vault as the Despot project 😂

Sam Sanchez

Surprised yall didn’t talk about that amazing album cover with the famous photo of self immolation of the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, the image itself alone being so powerful. One of the greatest album (and albums in general) covers of all time imo

Especially with it having happened recently in USA, like I mentioned in my reasonings for choosing it the messaging (much of which was paved to be allowed through public enemy) being so relavent is why it really is a classic album for how well the band and Zach executed that aspect.
