Free Music Notes for The Battle of Los Angeles
Free Music Review: Great Album - shame about some of the reviews...
Hit: 4 Stars
Why is it that all the negative, one-star ratings of this album rant about its anti-capitalist messages and fail to discuss - um - the music?
Solid, rocking angry music. Yes, it is political - and not everyone's gonna agree with the politics - but then imagine political rock that was in favour of the system... it would be boring.
Listen to this album and decide for yourself...
The Battle of Los Angeles Poster
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. --Katherine TurmanAlternative Rock Music CDs
