Evil Empire

Description

This long-awaited sophomore release from Rage Against The Machine does not disappoint. Its grinding, ferocious guitar twists Public Enemy-like riffs in and out of the rhythm sections metallic pummeling. But as usual, while Tom Morellos guitar sets the pace, Zach De La Rochas lyrical attack steals the show. It is, after all, the EVIL EMPIRE theyre raging against. De La Rocha goes for the jugular with barbed lyircs, claiming in Bulls On Parade that this microphone explodes, shattering the molds in a world where people aint seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one. The groups rap-like rhythmic savvy and hard-rock edge bring them to a new plane. In Snake Charmer, De La Rocha speaks of greed with a delirious excitement. Evidently, Rage Against The Machine will continue to rebel against the EVIL EMPIRE.
