    Battle of Los Angeles

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 5, 2003 | 1 out of 2 found this Battle of Los Angeles review helpful

    Fake intellectualism poised by a band who counts on their fans to not read the literature they promote, because anyone with half a brain would realize the inherent contradictions between the books. Im as much for intellectual leftism as anyone else, ...but this is the wrong way to do it. The one thing I will say for them is Tom Morellos skill in innovative guitar is interesting to listen to, once or twice. Not worth spending your money if youre looking for intelligent music. Any band that speaks out against multi-national corporations while they are employed by one should not be given points for sincerity. Think People! Read more Less

    A Refreshing Venture Into The Truth

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 24, 2006

    Pros: Amazing and well written vocals, insanely creative guitar score

    Cons: Reliance on bass to carry through main sound in certain choruses

    The Battle of LA is certainly a unique and rare album. Throughout the entirety of it, the listener feels constantly in sway with the rythym of every song, and soon will find themself chanting the vocals. Zack de la Rocha is one of the most talented ...singers/song writers in the face of rock. His performance in The Battle is his best yet, with none of the past albums' emphasis on accent, and is much clearer when singing. Many people may try to compare RATM to bands such as Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and the like; but none of the other bands that RATM has been accused of ripping of have yet shown any qualities like them. With this album, they break down the barrier between rythym, style, and guitar. This album has some of the most amazing "wow" pedal emphasis i've ever seen, and it flows perfectly with the elements of every song. The lyrics within the tracks are simply and purely amazing. Perfect rhyming is blended with raw emotion, intensity, and the fact that everything said is fact. Listeners are quickly bombarded with flowing rhymes flushing out the horrors of slavery, facism, and propaganda. What I could say that the album needed was, as said in the "Cons", less emphasis on bass. The guitar of "New Millenium Homes" and "War Within A Breath" is mainly comprised of bass guitar, and the chorus IS the bass line, but done with electric guitar instead. Another thing that the customer needs to be wary about is the fact that this type of music isn't exactly appealing to the masses and will most likely need to be listened to more than once. But after the listener has heard the album two times they begin to see the depth and soul of the songs. All in all, I would recommend this album to anyone who'd listen. It's got style, grace, power, and feeling. If you can fine it at even a slightly reasonable price, jump at the chance and discover the truth today! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Battle of Los Angeles

  • All Music Guide

    Rage Against the Machine isn't really the only metal band that matters, but their aggressive social and political activism is refreshing, especially in an age of blind (or usually self-directed) rage due to groups like Limp Bizkit, Bush, or Nine Inch Nails. Recorded in less than a month, The Battle of Los Angeles is the most focused album of the band's career, exploding from the gate and rarely letting go the whole way through. Like a few other famous revolution-in-the-head bands (most notably Minor Threat), Rage Against the Machine has always been blessed by the fact that the band is spewing just as much vitriol as its frontman. Any potential problems created here by Zack de la Rocha's one-note delivery and extremist polemics are smoothed over by songs and grooves that make it sound like the revolution really is here, from the single "Guerrilla Radio" to album highlights like "Mic Check," "Calm Like a Bomb," and "Born of a Broken Man." As on the previous two Rage Against the Machine a...lbums, Tom Morello's roster of guitar effects and vicious riffs are nigh overpowering, and are as contagious as the band has ever been since their debut. De la Rocha is best when he has specific targets (like the government or the case against ~Mumia Abu Jamal), but when he attempts to cover more general societal problems, he falters. If anything less than one of the most talented and fiery bands in the music world were backing him, The Battle of Los Angeles wouldn't be nearly as high-rated as it is. - John Bush, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Rage Against the Machine

Rage Against the Machine earned acclaim from disenfranchised fans (and not insignificant derision from critics) for their bombastic, fiercely polemical music, which brewed sloganeering leftist rants against corporate America, cultural imperialism, and government oppression into a Molotov cocktail of punk, hip-hop, and thrash. Rage formed in Los Angeles in the early '90s... Read more
