Rage Against The Machine "Rage against the machine"

What to say about this album that has not already been said? Nothing. Or rather, not much. I must say that for many of us, this self-titled Rage Against The Machine is more than a cornerstone of their musical culture, a kind of turning point in their musical vision, the awareness that we could mix so much and come to a conclusive result also. Before them, the Red Hot, Faith No More, Public Enemy and Anthrax, Living Colour, Beastie, Suicidal, etc., ... Had taken elements of rock, metal, hardcore, hip-hop and funk and stir all in an inventive and provocative urban music. But that raged is to deliver a catchy how ho disk, virulent, creative and striking maturity. At no time, the band plays the clowns on this disc (unlike sometimes those who worked in the rap / rock fusion before them), all keeping a constant glow, a sort of permanent fire. On a groovy bass / drum fairly standard but wickedly effective and heartfelt, Morello just post while pentatonic riffs directly inspired by a seventies hard rock, Led Zep in mind haywire his solos to blow Whammy, hack its sounds as a person and earns its stripes guitar-god, like a Van Halen, his first album. And the icing on the cake is that Zack De La Rocha, a Chicano who grew up in the beautiful heart, son Beto, militant artist of his state having gradually going insane, real devil out of the box, rapping like a madman, a crystal clear flow borrowing a post-adolescent rage against imperialism Americanist and blowing at the same time, through its texts and borrows his voice, like a rebellion wind music group . Conventional future raining "Bombtrack", "Killing in the Name", "Take the power back", "Bullet in the head", "Know your enemy", "Freedom", as many hymns of 20-25 years 'today. Just as the "Nevermind" by Nirvana, this self-titled Rage Against The Machine remains one of the few generational discs have been born in the nineties, one of the few records of that time to also have had as many influence on contemporary music. Suffice to say that the term "essential" takes in his case, its meaning.
