The Battle of Los Angeles
Description
remastered reissue of 1999 albumpackaged in a digipak.
Having successfully fused music and politics from their start,
inspiring both moshing and young minds in the process, Rage Against the
Machine emerges in peak form with merely their third album in seven years.
Guitarist Tom Morello is one of the most distinctive and innovative players of
his era, and his foil, vocalist/lyricist Zack De La Rocha, is as unrelenting
and inspiring as ever on The Battle of Los Angeles. Rage, whose past antics
include performing naked with duct tape over their mouths to protest
censorship, released Battle on Election Day, but the politics of the group can
be separated from the sounds. Indeed, the 45 minutes of mayhem heard here can
be enjoyed solely as rousing aggro hip-hop rock. There’s more variety found on
Battle than on its predecessors, however. “Sleep Now in the Fire” is one of
their most straight-ahead rock tunes. The trippy guitar on “Calm Like a Bomb”
is out there even for the adventurous Morello. And “Born a Broken Man” serves
up lovely musical interludes. Overall, the more finely honed Rage heard on
Battle may not inspire a generation of young revolutionaries, but they still
stir up more mutinous spirit than the rest of the current rock pack.
