evil empire is actually pretty good, it's their most tightly wound and pissed-off sounding album.

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites. You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites. Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites. You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites. Come on!
Yeah! Come on!

dud. Morello's riffs were occasionally catchy but often were extremely boring and unimaginative, Zach's flow stunk, and his voice was annoying.
Content-wise it's nothing I couldn't have gotten from Noam Chomsky

Oh MAN does this group suck. They've ridden the SAME three songs and have made the same album out of them THREE times. And their rich, privileged white fans eat it up, yo. Spare me.

someone puts on rage songs at the gym in the morning and like holy shit they were awesome weren't they.

they have aged really well to my ears. i was not a fan at the time. that kind of thing was not my speed. but god they sound refreshing in a playlist of .. whatever new aggressive trash kids like in 2020.

i was feeling very "rage against the machine" yesterday, haven't listened to em in years but maybe i should.

Renegades is (mostly) extremely fun imo. underrated!

Their cover of "Renegades of Funk" is pretty awesome.
― birdistheword, Thursday, 15 October 2020 23:16 (three years ago) link
Renegades of Funk is a great gym song.
I think Renegades contains the only songs I like playing by them. Their hip hop covers - Eric B. & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend", Volume 10's "Pistol Grip Pump", EPMD's "I'm Housin'", but specially Cypress Hill's "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and AB’s “Renegades of Funk - are all fun to listen to imho.

I definitely wished that Prophets of Rage had leaned into doing more Cypress and PE stuff in RATM style

Renegades is such a great album
