Not since the days of the Clash and the MC5 has rock seen such political force as in the uncompromising debut from this L.A. quartet. Expanding the hip-hop/metal style of bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage tap the spirits of vintage Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, coupled with hardcore punk intensity and Public Enemy-style grooves. "Bombtrack" opens the LP with a shot of adrenaline and singer Zack de la Rocha's infuriated chorus of "Burn, burn, yes, you're gonna burn!" The intensity doesn't let up an inch on the militant "Killing in the Name" (with the inspiring chant, "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"), the ultrafunky "Bullet in the Head," and the engrossing "Fistful of Steel." Tom Morello combines time-honored metal guitar riffs with sounds that suggest a hip-hop scratcher over a rhythm section that simply takes no prisoners. Intelligent and aggressive, this is unimpeachably one of the best hard-rock records ever made. --James Rotondi

5 out of 5 stars Rage brings a new outstanding element.......2007-07-04

Rage Against the Machine hits a grand slam with their first effort. The anger and aggression with the vocals and the hard hitting guitar riffs make a unique combination of style and force not seen in the music industry with this type of flair for a long time. This album is intense, heavy and angry, what more could you want. Outstanding work by Rage Against the Machine.

3 out of 5 stars (Not a kid)The music is still good but...........2007-04-22

....I listened to this when I was very young, it was definitely groundbreaking. As far as infusing rock and rap, Rage did it better than anybody. Better than rivals Downset and Stuck Mojo(who both suck), better than Biohazard, better than Public Enemy and Anthrax. Everything came together and meshed so well. However, the politics....

I'm neither right nor left wing, I dunno what I am....perhaps libertarian? Either way, as I got older, I really found Zach De La Rocha's politics distasteful. In a nutshell, it appears to be this:

-White people: Bad
-Successful white people: Even worse!
-Capitalism: Bad, even though it pays the bills and puts money in RATM's pocket and allows their families to prosper instead of waiting for government handouts
-Education: Bad, although by "bad" they mean it isn't a bunch of Noam Chomsky/Howard Zinn claptrap that enforces white guilt and American self-hate

-Communism: Good, even though it has shown to be a failure
-Socialism: Good, though people seem to rather live in America than Venezuela(why is that Hugo?)
-Illegal immigrants: Good, even though they take jobs, drive down wages, exhaust schools and hospitals and bring their third world crime culture to quiet American communities
-Mumia Abu Jamal: Good, even though the evidence for him murdering a police officer is about as strong as the evidence that Bush invaded Iraq on the basis of lies and greed

In any case, I still enjoy the music, but try and keep an open mind when you listen to this stuff.

5 out of 5 stars The Landmark Heavy Album of the 1990's.......2007-04-03

Classic debut and easily one of the best albums released in the '90s, Rage Against The Machine set the ball rolling for the inevitable mash-up of metal and rap. Granted, this mutation was both for better (RATM themselves) and for worse (Limp Bizkit, Korn, et al), but at the time and even hearing it now, it was an exciting album of possibilities. No, most listeners weren't inspired to change the system or the world, but they undeniably learned a little about what was going on outside of their homes and cities. Like good gangsta rap, one could get a snaphot of things going on in other people's lives. Anyway, if you haven't been ruined by the likes of overdone Korn or Limp Bizkit and want a great album with a point, you could do far worse than to start here.

5 out of 5 stars Still awesome.......2007-04-02

Rage is still one of my all time favorite bands. I bought this CD again after A co-worker brought in this CD. It still kicks ---. If you like a good musical groove and powerful thought provoking lyrics, then check out this CD.

5 out of 5 stars The best of the genre.......2007-03-25

RATM (the album) is quite possibly the greatest rock album of all time. Blending a unique combination of tempo, bass, anger, and beats, the debut album Rage Against the Machine is a masterpiece.

Like a great cup of coffee this album combines rich, thick flavors that mix bitter and sweet for a fabulous buzz and lasting after taste. "Two thumbs up - way up" and all of the stars that Amazon allows.

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 Turman

Rage Against The Machine-The Battle For Los Angeles *****


Many a Rage fan as well as critic well tell you that The Battle Of Los Angeles is the very best album that Rage ever made. Is this the case, is this really better then the self titled debut Rage Against The Mahine, probably. But you will have to be the judge of that one. One thing is for sure if this isnt the bands all time best effort it is a vert close second. The bands cover album Renagades was good, but this is better, Evil Empire was a killer album but once again this takes the cake of that one as well. The bands only equal comparason is the debut.

The Battle Of Los Angeles is a solid album through and through, not a bad track to be heard. Being released in late 1999, early 2000, at the dawn of a new millenium when the band was reaching its breaking point and on the eve of spliting they managed to hold it together and create one of the best rock albums of the last 25 years. Zack De La Rochas lyrics were the most focust and coherent they had ever been, and his vocal delivery is insane. Tim C, and Brad Wilk who may make up the greatest rhythm section in all of rock n' roll hold the album together as a whole. Then there is Tom who once again raised the bar as far as what is possible with the guitar. Tom Morello is easily one of the greatest guitarist ever to pick up the six string. Not only with his effects pedels but without them as well.

Songs like the major hit singles 'Testify' 'Guerrilla Radio' and the phenomenol 'Sleep Now In The Fire' helped to propel the album to the number one spot and sell millions of copies. Those three songs have gone on to become radio staples still seven yers after the album was released. 'Calm Like A Bomb' 'Mic Check' and 'Born As Ghosts' are similure and slower songs that really are nice for a change of pace. 'Born Of A Broken Man' is one of the better songs the band ever recorded. You can really here the punk influence on this song. The album closes with 'War Within A Breath' which is the prefect song to close the album.

Once you end the album all the messages in the songs come together into one and you can really here the cry for the great state of California that they love and how it has gone so far down hill. And in the end The Battle Of Los Angeles is an amazing album by on eof the greatest rock bands of all time.

5 out of 5 stars If you like Rage, this is the best album.......2007-04-03

I like all of the Rage albums, but this one is better than the other two. More metal-oriented guitar and the songs are more political. If you had to buy one Rage album, this is the one to get.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album.......2006-08-21

Rage Against the Machine is a band I only started listening to out of curiosity. I'd never heard any of their music, but I had gotten into Audioslave and wanted to see what these guys were like. Rage is a unique band in many ways. First off, this album (their final album, which was called Album of the Year by many Rock magazines; Even Time Magazine in fact) is amazing. Every song is good and not just in the sense, it's not bad. You can listen to each of these songs a few times over, there's not one track I'd skip over while listening to it. Tom Morello (who does stuff with a guitar that the best guitar players in the world couldn't do) is in top form; Tim Commerford cranks out some great basslines here (most notably in "Calm Like a Bomb"), and Brad Wilk is of course great. Zack De La Rocha's vocals and lyrics are very angry and very political here; He makes some genuine points though. That's one of the things I find most impressive about Rage. A lot of bands that do political songs, wind up with good lyrics and bad songs. It doesn't even matter if you're listening to the lyrics on this album; The music is still completely enjoyable. If you're looking to buy a really good CD, then get this. Here are the tracks and occasional in-depth commentary:

1. Testify-5/5
2. Guerilla Radio-5/5-One of my favorite songs on the album.
3. Calm Like a Bomb-5/5-One of my favorite Rage songs. It's really catchy and you can't beat Tom Morrello's riffs.
4. Mic Check-5/5-I love the lyrics; I love the chorus. Great song.
5. Sleep Now in the Fire-5/5-The guitar riff in this song is awesome. As are the lyrics; One of my favorite songs on here.
6. Born of a Broken Man-5/5-Zack De La Rocha speaks the verses and then pours energy into the chorus. I know some people who don't like this song, I love it.
7. Born as Ghosts-5/5-My 2nd favorite song on the album.
8. Maria-5/5
9. Voice of the Voiceless-5/5-It's short, but it's a great song.
10. New Millenium Homes-5/5-This probably ties as my 2nd favorite song. It sounds a little like Bulls on Parade, but the lyrics and music are awesome.
11. Ashes in the Fall-5/5-The music is awesome. De La Rocha whispering "Like ashes in the fall" is kind of creepy; Angry lyrics that definitely get their point across.
12. War Within a Breath-5/5-And a very impressive album closer. Some of the best drumming is on this track.
GRADE: A

4 out of 5 stars Better than "Evil Empire.".......2006-04-08

This is a definite improvement from "Evil Empire," which incorporated too much alternative elements, these tracks are more hard-rockish than on the previous album but not quite at the level on their self-titled. Tom Morello touched up his unique style of solos into something that sounds good rather than weird in EE, especially in "Guerilla Radio." If you're a big fan of Timmy C.'s basslines, this is where he shines the most. Zach's lyrics and rhyming are really centered around the problems in Mexico and the 2000 Presidential Election, these have also improved from their sophomore slump.

The only annoying track on here was "Mic Check," everything else was good, especially "Guerilla Radio," "Ashes in the Fall," "Maria," and "Voice of the Voiceless."

Its not great, but its defitely better than "Significant Crap" from Limp Bizs**t.

If you're a Rage' fan, I suggest you pick this up.

4 out of 5 stars Worth owning for one song, but the rest are very good too.......2006-03-29

I'll keep this short and sweet since, while I think this album was excellent, I don't view "The Battle of Los Angeles" to be the band's finest work. I think that's a toss-up between their debut and the nigh-perfect "Evil Empire." This band told it like it was, is, and will likely, unfortunately, continue to be each and every time they released an album.

However, this one digs into the band's favorite topics a little deeper and what it uncovers is hideous and depressing. From songs ranging about the destitution-to-desperation of the poor in Mexico ("Maria") to the us-against-them nature of abandoned/forgotten ethic groups/gangs in the inner city ("Born As Ghosts") to a song about one of their biggest causes, the freedom of (perhaps wrongly) convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and other so-called criminals that may be in the same boat ("Voice of the Voiceless"), this album doesn't relent until the CD ends.

However, the one track that has always stuck out in my mind as the glimpse behind the curtain to which all others should be compared is the masterful "Ashes in the Fall," perhaps the band's most gut-wrenching, soul-searing track in its entire career.

The song takes an unflinching look at poverty and the plight of the lower class, immigrants and homeless: the very people that the government should be taking care of that it instead allows to fend for themselves. Starving, desperate, abused, and neglected, these people see no other way out of their situation than resorting to violence and crime...actions for which they are arrested and imprisoned, if not killed outright. The song's most gripping moment is when Zach de la Rocha mockingly screams, "Ain't it funny how the factory doors close 'round the time that the school doors close? 'Round the time that the doors of the jail cell open up to greet you like the Reaper?"

In other words, while most children are entering/leaving school, the pvverty-stricken are walking into factories where they can be promised low wages and grueling work until the whistle blows. If not that, then finding trouble and expending what little life is left inside them in the confines of a prison cell. It is a bleak image and all too true in the darker corners of every city in the United States.

As others have said, the reference to the new sound being just like the old sound is a snide reminder to the listener that the grandiose speeches of the government's appointed representatives are just echoes of all that was said by those who came before them. And all the while, a voice can be heard in the undercurrent calling for the expulsion of all "non-natives" in favor of the so-called "chosen" people of God, a direct contradiction to everything the founders of the nation believed it should be about, according to the Constitution.

It is an exceptional song on the strength of its lyrics alone, but the band truly outdid itself with the music, from the high-pitched cry of the guitar to the soft rhthym of the bass during the build to the song's final crescendo.

I don't know if there's a human being that can listen to this song and not feel his or her soul quail in horror at the images it creates. If such a person exists, I hope we never meet.

As the vitriol spewed from Evil Empire, Rage Against the Machine's long-awaited follow up to their 1993 debut owes much to Chuck D.'s polemic fury and rapid-fire urgency--though as always the band rages without hip-hop machinery in favor of the heavy-duty power tools of rock. But no matter if Rage against the Machine amounts to revolutionary rap, protest metal, or a combination of the two, the band's command of sonic rage makes Evil Empire a powerful assault in any musical language.

But wait, there's more to the name. Raging against the machine, like yelling at the TV, is woefully misdirected. Lyricist Zack de la Rocha is clearly someone with strong political views--particularly when it comes to the plight of fellow Mexicans on both sides of the border. He vents his indignation sharply at times ("Vietnow," "Without a Face"), rather clumsily and artlessly most others. Music this angry should be aimed at something more specific than an entire race or nation or government, or else it risks sounding like the empty rants of confused postpubescent rebellion. If only Rage against the Machine's raw musical muscles were grinding over a focused message, lord knows how potent they could be. --Roni Sarig

5 out of 5 stars "Don't mothers make good fathers?".......2007-06-13

Inspired for the most part by the mobilization of the anti-globalisation, anti-neoliberalism, anti-imperialist Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Naçional (EZLN) on January 1st 1994, Rage Against the Machine's second album deploys the impoverished Mexican state of Chiapas as the spiritual locale of vocalist Zack de la Rocha's tirade against contemporary America.

Given the frontman's Chicano heritage it is valid to identify Evil Empire as de la Rocha's most personal work, no mean feat for an artist not known for keeping his emotions bottled-up.

The album opens with 'People of the Sun', a spiky number documenting the hardships of the Mexican people and their oppression throughout history at the hands of colonial powers, corruption and bureaucracy, and their neighbour to the north.

Fundamentally connected to the opener are the staccato 'Vietnow' and 'Without a Face', the former condemning the bellicose ideology of right-wing neoconservatism and the expansionist maxim prevailing in Occidental discourse, and the latter detailing individual small-scale delinquency as a simile for larger-scale dissidence and insurgency (as in the case of the Zapatista movement) engendered by colonial signification eroding indigenous identity.

Elaborating on the theme of colonial subjugation, Evil Empire's hit 'Bulls on Parade' underlines the machinations of dominant capitalism, pointing an accusatory finger at the US administration's military-industrial complex whilst disparaging of a governmental inability to identify any correlation between arms production and violent crime.

Musically, Evil Empire is informed more by hip-hop modes than the band's other two original works (1992's Rage Against the Machine and 1999's The Battle of Los Angeles), with the stop-start aesthetic allowing more scope for Tom Morello's typically innovative, often atonal guitar. Bassist Timmy C and drummer Brad Wilk (both of whom went on to become members of Audioslave, along with Morello) are the key players on Evil Empire's propulsive instrumentals however, combining to thunderous effect on 'Revolver' and 'Tire Me' in particular.

Evil Empire is de la Rocha's story though, and despite the polemic subject matter, he delivers each line with a cohesion and clarity superseding Rage's other work.

In these troubled times a lot of people need Rage Against the Machine to lend a voice to their discontent, we can only hope that new material follows their much-vaunted reunion shows. If ever there was a time for Rage to reclaim their vacant mantle of Most Imporant Band in the World, unfilled since they disbanded in 2000, it is surely now.

3 out of 5 stars Raging With the Metal?.......2007-03-04

Released in 1995, funk-metal's Rage Against the Machine released their second album "Evil Empire" after a three year wait (supposedly due to rapper Zack de la Rocha's perfectionist tendencies, as the next album would take four years). The only album that I feel I can fairly make comparisons to is Rage Against the Machine's self-titled, so bear with me. I understand that following up such a classic is impossible, but there are several aspects they failed to capture that made the first album a classic.

Many people have claimed that this album sounds similar to or follows the same formula as 1992's self-titled album, but I disagree; it sounds very different, much slower and darker. There were significant changes in how it was mixed; Zack de la Rocha's vocals are distant, not as clear or up-front as before; Brad Wilk's drums are louder and more expansive, as he tries out different rhythms; Tim Commerford's bass is higher and more frequently distorted in the mix, and isn't nearly as funky or bright, making each song darker; Tom Morello's guitar is almost always heavily distorted, making it sound more like a machine than a string instrument. In fact, this sounds more like a rap-metal album than a funk-metal album. There's pretty much no melody here. Each of the instruments, including the vocals, sound almost audibly equal in volume, blending together into a mush of sound, while their self-titled was careful in making each instrument distinct and bright. The pace has also been slowed significantly and, subsequently, most of the energy has been sucked from this album. This is a bleak listen, and it isn't nearly as colorful or fun as their previous effort. Surprisingly, the only thing different here is producer Brendan O'Brien, with Andy Wallace still behind the mixing tables, so it's possible that the band wanted it this way.

I must give Tom Morello some mention, of course, since his solos are interesting and innovative as always. The highlight here is "Bulls on Parade", where his solo sounds like a DJ scratching a turntable; the fact alone that the man has to duplicate this live is insane. He also adds another dimension to their sound with his electronic playing, creating very unique metallic textures, but it doesn't sound soulful or organic. At times it simply sounds a machine, plowing through the music.

The lyrics were great, and the subjects have become more varied; social commentary seems to share as much of the lyric sheet as the anti-government sentiment. However, Zack's slogans aren't nearly as catchy or energizing as in the debut, maybe because it's so hard to hear them. The biggest problem here would be the vocals; they aren't clean or clear, and they're actually brought down in the mix to the levels of the instrumentation. Zack's vocals add power to the band's sound, but because they seem to blend right in, they don't stand out as much. When he screams, the rhythm section drowns him out, making each scream pointless. Why scream if you can rap normally at the same volume?

This isn't packed with instant rock classics like in their self-titled, with the whole CD feeling more like a rap-oriented metal album, and some of the tracks are a real drag (I struggled to get through "Wind Below" without switching tracks; the whole carnival guitar effect is sweet, but listening to it trudge on is so damn borning). If you're a first-timer, I advise you get their self-titled debut if you want to see the band at their prime. If you're a fan, I definitely recommend this, although I suggest you keep your mind open and brace yourself. There are some moments where this album really shines, like "Bulls on Parade", "Revolver", and "Snakecharmer", but other times I found songs to be bland (especially "People of the Sun" and "Vietnow"). Don't get me wrong, I love this band and I tried like hell to get into this CD, but "Evil Empire" just doesn't do it for me. Thankfully, they recapture their sound on their next album, "The Battle of Los Angeles".

Evil Empire Is One of the best albums of all time without a doubt

5 out of 5 stars Exactly What a Great Album Should Be.......2006-11-02

Four years after releasing their debut album (which spawned two hits "Bombtrack"
& "Killing in the Name"), Rage Against the Machine released their sophomore album "Evil Empire." Sophomore albums are usually albums made in a euphoria and the work rushed, so they're usually not that good. This album has it's lows, but there's not a "bad" song on the album. A good portion of the album is solid, a few songs are less-than-spectacular; But the album is definitely an improvement over their already great first album. Singer/Rapper Zack de la Rocha is in full political-f**k the system glory here. His lyrics are powerful, intelligent, and sound great when sang. Tom Morello's guitar solos are spectacular, this guy is one of the most underrated guitarists around; Tim Commerford has a lot of chances on the album to show off his heavy basslines, and there's Brad Wilk of course filling out the rhythm section nicely. The song arrangement is great on the album, but what amazes me the most is this...The biggest hit off this album was Bulls on Parade, even though the song Tire Me won the band a Grammy. I think the song Down Rodeo is the best song on here, you can't beat his chorus (Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse. So make a move and plead the fifth, cuz you can't plead the first. So now I'm rolling down rodeo with a shotgun these people ain't seen a brown skin man since their grandparents bought one). Even though the band didn't make it past 4 albums (and the best, I think, is their 3rd "The Battle of Los Angeles) this is still a strong and spectacular album that you can easily jam too as you're rolling down Rodeo. Sorry for that lame joke, but, anyway, here's the tracks and some in depth opinions:

1. People of the Sun-5/5-The lyrics are awesome, the song is catchy, the guitar is infectious, the basslines are great; A great, great, song.
2. Bulls on Parade-5/5-This song took a while to grow on me. I love the beat, lyrics are intelligent. It's a very good song.
3. Vietnow-5/5-Some people may find this song annoying, I love it. Extremely catchy; It got stuck in my head for a long time.
4. Revolver-5/5-This song is a love it or hate it song. Zack screams a little too much on this song, but it's pretty good.
5. Snakecharmer-5/5-This song has vocals that are barely there, but it works well enough with the music that it...Works.
6. Tire Me-4/5-This song won Rage a Grammy, but I think it's kind of a weak song. The basslines are superb, but the song can be kind of annoying at times.
7. Down Rodeo-5/5-I think is the best song on the album; It's got one of the best lines ("Rolling down rodeo with a shotgun, these people ain't seen a brown-skin man since their grandparents bought one") and is really catchy; The beat is one of their best.
8. Without a Face-5/5-Very cool song.
9. Wind Below-4/5-This song has it's high points and its low points. Mostly the latter.

If Renegades proves to be the last Rage Against the Machine album to feature singer Zack de la Rocha, who quit the band after nine years, it's a cool way to go out. Produced by Rick Rubin, Renegades is a salute to the artists who made Rage what they are--or were. While it's easy to hear Rage's rap roots in songs from Afrika Bambaataa, EPMD, and Volume 10, it's more interesting to see their take on rock in its classic and punk forms. Rage capture the raw spirit, if not the quite the intensity, inherent in the MC5 classic "Kick Out the Jams." A superior second live take appears at the CD's end, followed by a concert version of Cypress Hill's "How I Could Just Kill a Man," with help from B-Real and Sen Dog. Devo's "Beautiful World" is rendered quietly unrecognizable, while Minor Threat's "In My Eyes" is given a wonderfully melodic, ultra-aggro treatment. The Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man" takes on a techno vibe that's unsettling and Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" is also effectively modernized. Ultimately, Renegades is a must-have for its song selection, musical execution, and the unhappy fact that it's likely the ultimate offering from one of rock's most musically and politically relevant lineups. --Katherine Turman

5 out of 5 stars Reun1te / Political Agenda.......2007-02-14

When I heard Zack had left the band due to 'creative differences' I was not happy but continued to live with hope that it was not the end of the Rage. Seven years later, they are doing a 1 off concert & just like many out there lets hope they re-ignite the sparks & reform the magical chemistry that in my opinion has never died!
Does anyone own the live & rare Rage cd, if you listen to it, Zack states lets bombard this Leonard Paltere's (SP) mail box until we win, maybe all us Rage fans need to bombard the record company's or the members of Rage themseleves until they do what they again do what they do best & that is make music as Rage Against The Machine.
Yo Check it, as I listen to their material daily even today I can find more passion in Rage than a run down mill scrap band that is Audioslave (namely due to Chris Cornell's semi attempted alright vocals), most of their mateiral in their first 2 albums could have easily been reworked for Rage as a lot of Rage was coming through & the only difference is Chris Cornell was on lead vocals & I am glad I did not see them live when they started playing Rage material (what kind of hypocracy is that?) - man he would have ruined all meaning & destroyed the funk blast!
So cut the chord & get this musical act of RATM back on track, you guys would with ease be no. 1 (not that you lot would care about the fat checks due to the political nature/agenda of the band).
Tom Morello - you are an outstanding guitarist, I could not believe those sounds could be made by guitar but a lot of what you did in Audioslave was just borrowed from Rage, however the rhythm section of Audio is great (esp. Brad he really takes drumming to new levels).
Hopefully the panther the brother De La Rocha has in his 7 year absence written some stronger much needed material due to the musical junk out there today & if there is any hope & in life if I saw a mission that is accomplished it would be Rage reformed & continuing on til their last breath/s.
Not everyone is gifted as musicains so why throw it away guys for a half rate band Audislave? Give me the mic so I can scream "COME ON...AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
When I think Rage I can with ease think of their song titles:
Bombtrack, Killing in the Name Of, Take the Power Back, Know Your Enemy, Wake Up, Township Rebellion, Freedom, People of the Sun, Bulls on Parade, Vietnow, Revoler, Snakecharmer, Down Rhode, Without a Face, Year of the Boomerang, Testify, Guerrila Radio, Mic Check, Sleep Now In The Fire, Voice of the Voiceless, Maria, Ashes In The Fall, War Within A Breath, No Shelter, Microphone Fiend, Pistol Grip Pump, Renegades of Funk, How I Could Just Kill A Man, Street Fighting Man, Maggies Farm...Wow!!!
Zack - we need & long for you in the music industry more than ever as there has been no one out there able to spit truth like it needs to be done on a microphone only you as the front man of Rage Against The Machine can pull this off.
Peace out my panthers my brothers!

5 out of 5 stars Rage Keep On Rockin' 'Til The Morning Comes.......2007-01-26

Even though "Renegades," Rage Against The Machine's last album, was merely a cover album, it still solidifies the band's career and legendary status as the most active and unique protest rock band for Generation X and as innovators of the ill-fated rap-rock movement. All 12 covers -- spanning from hip-hop to punk to classic rock -- fit perfectly into Rage Against The Machine's songbook, keeping a clear message and not sacrificing one ounce of intergrity or energy. Although the rumors of frontman Zach De La Rocha's disdain for the release of the album have been blamed for the break-up of the band, "Renegades" still stands as yet another exercise in fist-pumping power and excellent and inventive musicianship. Truly, Rage Against The Machine in top form once again.

Hearing Zach spit out rhymes on hip-hop classics such as "Microphone Friend" and "How I Could Just Kill A Man" sounds only natural, but it's when the band ventures into other, less predictable territories that this album really shines. Perfect example would be their cover of Devo's "Beautiful World," a haunting, moving and surprisingly melodic commentary on the state of the world that still holds up today, just as it did in the 80's, and takes the Rage sound into a new realm. On the flipside, "Kick Out The Jams" (originally by MC5), is a brilliant merger of the signature Rage style with the fury of old-school punk. One of the more energetic tracks, this song is truly the point where the album takes shape. "In My Eyes" (originally by Minor Threat) takes on the same tone as "Kick Out The Jams," and remains another highlight, but elsewhere, on the Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen covers, "Maggie's Farm" and "The Ghost Of Tom Joad," the band shows some true influences that never really stood out before. The 12 song set is supported by two bonus live tracks: "Kick Out The Jams" and "How I Could Just Kill A Man," which just further solidify Rage's reputation as one of the best live bands of their time. The latter even features a guest appearance by B-Real and Sen Dog of Cypress Hill.

Overall, "Renegades" is a proper goodbye, that shows it's true roots and honors the band's influences with large amounts of respect and excellent musicianship. It's a shame that their last studio album wasn't original material, but this is just as good. With a Rage Against The Machine reunion on the horizon, who knows what the future will bring. But even if they don't make another album, "Renegades" still shows the band at their best, turning some classics into new anthems for the new millennium.

5 out of 5 stars Rage Covers It All.......2006-12-16

This is a monster cover album. Not many bands can do an album of cover versions and do justice to many songs, but Rage make these songs their own.
Zach's crisp strong vocals are gripping as always and the band is peaking here.

Highlights are Microphone Fiend, Beautiful World, In My Eyes & Maggies Farm.

Pure heavy funk, not just for Rage fans....

In My Opinion this is just another work of pure genious by RATM, the fact that every song on here is good only adds to that...

Every thing here is pretty well perfect, the bonus tracks are pretty cool, and feature, "How I Could Just Kill A Man" with some other arttists.

Every thing here is near perfect, there isn't much more to say.

For more than a decade, Tom Morello used earsplitting riffs to make his point, first with Rage Against the Machine, then with Audioslave. But on his solo debut as the Nightwatchman, the man named one of Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists of all time tries a different approach. Taking cues from six-string radicals such as Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash, Morello reinvents himself as a singer-songwriter armed only with an acoustic guitar, gravelly baritone, and renewed political fervor. The lyrics are unavoidably blunt, whether tackling the plight of third world workers or being a member of two of the biggest rock bands of the past two decades: "On the streets of Havana I got hugged and kissed/ At the Playboy Mansion I wasn't on the list," he sings on the title track. The real discovery is that he's capable of making the same old racket at just a fraction of the volume. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

Tom Morello appears as The Nightwatchman on his stark new acoustic album One Man Revolution. These 13 songs create a dark, urgent portrait of a world in turmoil. Morello, the Grammy Award-winning guitarist of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, pinpoints the sociopolitical struggles of the American leftist underground in this series of self-penned originals. Brendan O'Brien (Peal Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Incubus, Rage Against the Machine) produces `One Man Revolution,' which is Tom's first time singing on record.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars One Man Army.......2007-07-23

Armed with his acoustic guitar, Tom Morello found time in between the Audioslave break-up and the Rage Against The Machine reunion to record his very own solo album. Released under the moniker of The Nightwatchman, "One Man Revolution" carries with it a sound that most Morello fans wouldn't expect or recognize. Instead of raging with innovative and recognizable guitar riffs and squealing solos, Morello strums his acoustic guitar and does his best vocal impression of legends like Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. It should go without saying that the material on Tom's debut is of a highly political nature, and it's honestly quite refreshing to hear, as Audioslave seemed to put Tom on hiatus when it came to such subjects. Granted, with Serj Tankian (System Of A Down), he had kept the Axis Of Justice active (which is where he made his solo debut), but it wasn't enough to keep the message and intensity of Rage Against The Machine from being missed. On subjects ranging from racism, poverty and war, Tom Morello delivers his message with confidence, while sounding far more in touch with the problems of today and simply more relevant than the average solo artist (anyone listened to "Carry On" yet?). "One Man Revolution" may not completely hit the mark or meet the expectations of fickle fans, but those with a little patience and an open mind will appreciate what Morello is trying to do here. And even if you don't like his voice, you've still got some great guitar-work to sit back and chew on.

1 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2007-07-21

This album was extremely well hyped, and turned out to be a huge let down. If you loved Rage Against the Machine, then you will probably hate this album. Everything that you have come to love about his guitar playing with Rage is completely missing on this accoustic album. If you like Leonard Cohen then buy this album. If you don't then don't bother. Don't base your purchase upon Rage Against the Machine.

2 out of 5 stars Stick with the Whammy pedal Tom..............2007-06-28

While the concept behind The Nightwatchman certainly has merit, the execution of this album is not up to the same standard. As a fan of Rage Against the Machine, I was interested to see how this would compare. The guitar playing is mediocre, and the vocals are ridiculous. Tom's singing sounds affected and forced. While Zach de la Rocha spit his venom on the Rage albums, Tom is clearly making a profound effort to whisper his. His voice actually doesn't sound that bad when he's singing naturally, it's the amateurish attempt to channel 'Nebraska'-era Springsteen that's laughable. Overall, this was a real disappointment. This pales in comparison with 'Nebraska', 'Ghost of Tom Joad', or any protest music by Neil Young.

4 out of 5 stars Not the same old Tom.......2007-06-24

And thats not really a bad thing. One thing is for sure, If you are looking for an extension of Rage or the far inferior Audioslave, you have come to the wrong place. This is far more Dylan and Woody Guthrie than it is pounding rock beats.
Personally I think this is the music that our generation has been waiting for. Falling firmly into that tricky Genre of "protest music", this actually comes off as Genuine. Much of the protest music for our generation, such as Green Day, feels like an old artist trying to stay cool and relevant. Morello's new album feels the opposite. In fact, he has almost guaranteed himself no airplay and low album sales. This is very unsubtle, we need to change the world music. But its greatest strenght is that he has rediscovered the idea that made Dylan and Guthrie so good. Dont spend all of your time pointing fingers at who has done bad by you. Instead, he tells the people to stand up and fight for the wrongs of the world. Open your eyes, get up and change the world. Good job Tom.

1 out of 5 stars Back to the Future.......2007-06-11

For those of us who went to high school with Tom Morello and Adam Jones of Tool, this album was the event we were all waiting for, because this is about the class and caliber of music they were playing in the early 80's: cringe-inducing protest rock- back then it was angry songs about freeing El Salvador.

The moment that Tom started singing "One Man Revolution" at the Sundown Stage at the Wakarusa Music Festival [following North Mississippi All-Stars, a far better act] I had a good cathartic laugh because now I knew that people would experience the Tom Morello that I know:

A relatively talentless guitarist who hid two-note riffs behind Zach de la Rocha and layers of fx,

A lyricist whose politics seem to be an expression of opportunism more than conviction,

and a man who has no sense of subtlety.

So thanks to you, Tom Morello.

Now everyone knows you like I do.

General Public's debut is arguably the ska supergroup's best work. Fresh out of the English Beat, Dave Wakeling recruited vocal partner Ranking Roger, as well as bassist Horace Panter (the Specials), keyboardist Mickey Billingham (Dexy's Midnight Runners), and veteran sax man Saxa for this set of shiny pop that is virtually all as infectious as the album's Top 40 hit, "Tenderness." Sure, the English Beat's best grooves found their way into the Fine Young Cannibals, but Wakeling and Roger's breathless vocals and undeniable hooks still shine on this undervalued album. --Bill Forman

4 out of 5 stars love it!.......2007-06-04

I love this CD. It takes me back to the 80's with lots of cool music.

5 out of 5 stars Ready for the reissue treatment.......2005-07-31

This is just a really awesome CD and I'm suprised it hasn't been given the re-issue treatment as of yet. All The Rage was released in late 1984 or early 1985. The US singles were "Tenderness" and "Never You Done That." The album itself contained a lot of different sounding songs. General Public toyed with reggae ala UB40 style on the song "General Public." I enjoy the whole album but really like songs like "Anxious," "Where's The Line," and "Are You Leading Me On?" There are some really great remixes to some of the songs on this album, I hope that it is given the reissue treatment soon.

3 out of 5 stars TENDERNESS.......2005-07-04

1984 Brit pop group dabbling in funk and ska yielded one great song; "Tenderness", a jingly piano-driven, bassoon enhanced, unabashedly sweet, catchy song that contains maybe the most representative line of '80s suppressed left wing agenda, - "I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful.", it rises above the hyperactive vocals and dull routine funk of the other songs, although the song, "General Public", adds Middle Eastern and progressive elements in a grandiose album closing. Band member, Ranking Roger (vocals, keyboards), has put out at least one fine Motown influenced solo album, and Clash guitarist Mick Jones, plays some rough guitar on some of the tracks. The band needs to lean more towards it's tender side than it's frantic funk.

4 out of 5 stars Catchy and enjoyable.......2005-06-18

Nothing spectacular here, just a thoroughly enjoyable pop/new wave/synth/whatever offering from an outfit that probably deserved more attention. Definitely worth getting.

4 out of 5 stars More than just another 80s Synth-Pop Sounding Group.......2004-10-28

My first exposure to General Public came in 1984. I was listening to the original WKTU radio in New York City and this song called "Tenderness" came on then. At the time, this radio station was the "Disco/Dance" radio station in New York. What I distinctly remember about this station was that it was a very different song than the dance numbers that were typically played on this station. Nonetheless, this song caught my attention as well as the attention of many other fans. It turns out that this was a true "crossover" song done by the group General Public. It was part of a collection of ten songs that could easily fall into the "crossover" 80s/Techno-Pop category from General Public's debut album "All The Rage".

In the mid 1980s, the term "Supergroup" became very popular. A Supergroup is basically a group or project whose primary members were in other successful bands. The two most common Supergroups were the Power Station and Mike + The Mechanics. Before either or these Supergroups, there was a Supergroup called General Public. When the English Beat disbanded, vocalists Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger decided to form a new band. They recruited keyboardist Micky Billingham and drummer Andy "Stoker" Growcott from Dexy's Midnight Runners. Also recruited was bassist Horace Painter ("The Specials") and guitarist Kevin White. Both The English Beat and Dexy's Midnight Runners produced a most unique 80s pop sound that has almost become synonymous with the decade itself. Make no mistake about this, the sounds of both of these groups are alive and well with this "alliance". In a lot of ways the formation of this alliance results in so much more than "80s music".

Here is a quick synopsis of the album song by song:
"Hot You're Cool": This might not be the deepest song in terms of lyrics, but there is a lot more than just an 80s sound on this particular track. There is some terrific saxophone work that makes the melody so terrific.

"Tenderness": This is the signature song of the group. There are a lot of reasons this became the signature song. You will hear Wakeling and Roger's trademark vocals, - but you will hear contributions from just about everyone in the band. I think Billingham's keyboards, Painter's bass, and White's guitar deserve a lot of credit. Justine Carpenter does the background vocals (i.e. "Where is the...") that make this song so special. As mentioned above, this is a crossover song - although I see it more as a Dance song.

"Anxious": Although not the strongest track, here is another track that breaks the 80s mold. This song features a brass section of some trumpet and trombone that helps distinguish it from many other 80s tracks.

"Never You Done That": This was the second single released from this album. Here is a song that definitely walks the tightrope between rock and dance music. This is a pretty good track and the more you hear it, the more you will want to hear it.

"Burning Bright": This is the second best song behind "Tenderness". I am very surprised this song didn't get more airplay. This song opens with some outstanding guitar with a light keyboard overtone. "Stoker"'s drumming is strongest on this track. There is a 1 minute introduction. This isn't as much of an 80s Techno-Pop track as the others, but has much more of a progressive rock sound. This is the song that has the lines "From Moscow to Monterey and From Maine to Mexico" that is printed on the back of the CD.

"As a Matter of Fact": I don't think this is the strongest track, but it isn't a bad track. This song moves back toward the Techno-Pop sound and has much more of a Dance Music feel to it. "Stoker" shines here again with some nice drum work on here.

"Are You Leading Me On": From a lyric and melody standpoint - this song starts out with a Classic 80s Techno-Pop feel to it. About 90 seconds into the song there is a terrific reggae sequence that is a nice change of pace. General Public finds a great way to integrate the reggae into the song and they switch gears flawlessly.

"Day to Day" also starts with a Classic 80s feel to it. Unlike "Are You Leading Me On", it doesn't switch gears. It sticks to the Classic 80s feel. I would say this is the weakest track on the collection.

"Where's the Line": Terrific mix of 80s music with a Carribean Twist. This is a very catchy song and one that is good for the dance floors. Vocals are in top form and once again the horns find their way into a track.

"General Public": I think its great when a group names after song after themselves (or names the group after the song). This song is the perfect wrap-up song. It is a mix of some theatrical qualities and a very European sound. This song too is pretty catchy.

The liner notes contain all of the lyrics to all of the songs. All participating musicians are listed in the credits as well along with some of the production credits. The one drawback of the liner notes is that the lyrics and credits are put into 6 thin columns per page. The result is small fonts and very difficult to read. Following this debut album, General Public's subsequent albums would never achieve the success of this debut album from both a commercial or critical standpoint. Much of this was due to the fact that in the late 80s and early 90s, the music landscape would change and move away from synth-pop to a more natural Rock Sound. However, this is more than just another 80s album - there is some real talent on this collection. You will get so much more than the song "Tenderness". I highly recommend this collection.

One of the first things I bought for my infant daughter was a collection of the Baby Einstein cd's, and I'm so glad I did! My girl just loves to listen and brightens up everytime the orchestra tunes up at the start of the cd. It is simplified, so not as thrilling for mom, but no real complaints... It certainly beats the Wiggles.

This CD is just ok. I like the "Baby Needs..." collection much better. The music in this CD is nice, but some of it is fast paced and does not work well to listen to during nap time. My son seems to enjoy it, though. It is nice for playtime.

My husband and I are fans of classical music with a substantial CD collection. When we found out we were pregnant, I picked up the Baby Beethoven CD from my local library to see what it was like.

It's glorified music box music... some of the pieces are almost impossible to distinguish without checking the jewel case for the name.

If you really want to expose your child to Beethoven, don't waste your time with this CD. For soothing sleepy-time music, try "Beethoven at Bedtime."

Classical music makes your baby smart? Who cares what the "experts" say? As a mom, I judge any children's music CD by how often my kids ask to hear it. And Baby Beethoven CD gets two tiny thumbs up! My 5-year-old daughter has enjoyed this music since she was small (we also own the VHS tape). Now her younger sisters love it, too. The play list of 19 selections ranges from soothing symphonies, such as Symphony No. 6 in F major ("Pastoral"), to lively sonatas, like the Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor ("Pathétique") that inspire my girls to leap and twirl across the room. And that makes this CD a smart buy.

4 out of 5 stars Sometimes good sometimes great..........2006-03-02

but never bad. Buy it just to play loud and feel like you're not really a complete sell-out (even though you are).

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2005-11-09

I loved Rage Against the Machine before this album, but this album made them my favorite band ever. It blew me away right from the start with "bulls on parade". The intro to that song works perfectly with the bass that would later start it off. This album might have been the worst thing that has happened to Rage. Because after listening to all those songs live, it made their studio versions sound quieter and not as energetic and fun. Especially songs like "born of a broken man" and "know your enemy". Most of the songs were nailed perfectly like "killing in the name", "calm like a bomb", and "testify". I think that is just a tribute to the band and shows how talented they are. Zack is very explosive and i love how he changes his singing styles. I could just feel all of his emotion in "FREEDOM!"
The one song that I did not think was too good was "kick out the jams" i thought his singing was way faster than the music and sounded sloppy.
I also recommend the DVD, so you can see their performance at the 2000 Democratic National Convention.

5 out of 5 stars (4.5 stars) Not a Greatest Hits album--better!.......2005-11-05

A couple of years ago, I was beginning to wonder if Rage Against the Machine were ever going to release a Greatest Hits album. After all, they were a very popular and influential and innovative group, and I'm sure Zach de la Rocha misses the income (no matter how much he is against money/greed/wealth).

Well, only a short while before these political rap-rockers disbanded (because Zach left), Rage were busy touring in support of their latest album, 2000's covers disc, "Renegades." While touring, they made a stop over in their hometown (Los Angeles) and played a show which was actually recorded and was to be released as a live album which wouldn't see the light of day for three years.

Unless the record label decides to cash in and releases a Greatest Hits album for Rage's anniversary, "Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium" is as close to being a greatest hits album that you're going to get. But, at the same time, this live C.D. is much better than a Greatest Hits release. Why? Well, RATM's live shows were quite powerful, energizing, and inspirational. Thus, some of the songs on here are so intense, they actually make the studio versions sound calm and restrained (for proof, see "Bulls on Parade" and "Testify")!

The rhythm section (composed of Tom Morello, Tim Cummerford, and Brad Wilk), coupled with Zach's angry vocals and inspired lyrics, makes every one of these songs detonate like a grenade. Tom, not surprisingly, pulls off a flawless performance. As "Testify," and the aforementioned "Bulls On Parade" show, he makes noises on the guitar that I couldn't even make with my mouth! His guitar swoops, beeps, punches, crunches, chugs, creaks, wails, and about everything in between. Also, Tim's bass (which hums, grumbles, and makes a wah-wah sound) is a lot more audible, here, than originally. Finally, drummer Brad Wilk fills in the remaining gaps and anchors the songs, making them as solid and impenetrable as a brick wall.

Even though the whole set is great, my personal favorite songs are "Bulls on Parade," "Bullet In The Head" (where Zach switches off vocal parts with the crowd), "Sleep Now In The Fire" (which also features some great bass riffs), the exciting, adrenaline-pumped and very catchy renditions of "Guerilla Radio" and "Kick Out The Jams," and the perfect album/concert closer, "Freedom" (which has a few impromptu, added lyrics).

Ultimately, it's just a hair away from being perfect. Zach can't complete the whole rendition of "Killing In The Name" without pausing to take a breath, and he forgets part of the ending to "Know Your Enemy." And, I, overall, prefer Rage's "Live and Rare" album to this. But, even still, "Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium" is more than a welcome inclusion in your collection and a great snack if you're tired of listening to the same four Rage C.D.'s again and again.

El disco tiene fuerza pero le falla la calidad de grabación. es una pena

5 out of 5 stars I'm dying 4 a R.A.T.M reunion.......2005-08-29

This band is obviously necessary these days considering who we
have for president for God's sake. Right now ever since rage broke up we've been left with cheap imitations of them like System Of A Down. This band needs to return so many more people can begin to analyze their situation and get the chance 2 see them live like I did. In conclusion rage is necessary so we don't have to be stuck with crap metal like Evanescence and once again be able to listen to relevant music

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate music for every time of day and every mood.......2007-07-03

With 20 CDs in the collection, we have classical music for every mood and atime of day.

4 out of 5 stars Would give 5 stars if sound quality where better.......2007-06-30

This Classical collection is one of great length and breadth ,and is well worth purchasing ,if you want an abundance of music at a low price.The sound quality is decent,however it is not great.This set will not provide you with the crisp,clear sound quality of a RCA,CBS or other well known label,so some classical aficionados may not appreciate it much.It all depends on what your looking for ,I guess.

5 out of 5 stars Great collection for a great price.......2007-06-27

I did not expect much in buying this collection, but I was greatly surpeised. There were no reviews of the product at the time, and I bought the collection simply as a sampler of many great piano pieces. Most of the recordings are exquisite and of decent recording quality. This collection was well worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars 20 Fabulous Discs.......2007-06-08

I am surprised that this set has been out for 4 years and nobody reviewed it here yet. This is a lovely and occasionally amazing compilation. I was moved by many of the compositions. I really enhanced my classical music collection with this set. You have so many legends here to enjoy, from Bach to Brahms, Mozart to Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Gershwin, and more. If you love classical piano music and don't already have most of these works then this is a must buy for you. The price may go up, but I was fortunate to cash in on the $17.97 price. Quite a bargain for 20 fabulous discs.

With a generous selection of 20 songs spanning almost 70 minutes, this live album celebrates the energy and range of Rhonda Vincent's brand of progressive bluegrass. It also suggest the parallels and differences between Vincent's career and that of her friend Alison Krauss. Both Midwesterners were preteen musical prodigies, both have used bluegrass as a base to explore a variety of musical styles, both owe a vocal debt to Dolly Parton (whose "Jolene" receives an uptempo transformation here), and both lead virtuosic string bands capable of playing just about anything. The difference is that Krauss has continued to extend beyond her bluegrass base--and expand her audience in the process--while multi-instrumentalist Vincent has made a prodigal return to a rootsier brand of bluegrass, after some attempts at crossover country. This concert covers a lot of musical ground, from standards such as "Drivin' Nails in My Coffin" and "Muleskinner Blues" and bittersweet ballads like "Missouri Moon" and "You Can't Take It with You When You Go" to the spiritual strains of "So Happy I'll Be" and "Homecoming" and instrumentals that spotlight the dexterity of her band, the Rage. The crowd loves it all. --Don McLeese

Album Description

Recorded before a rapturous audience at The Sheldon Concert Hall in her native state of Missouri, Ragin' Live captures Grammy® nominated bluegrass sensation Rhonda Vincent and her band The Rage at their dynamic, full-throttle best. The recipient of an unprecedented five consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, Vincent makes music sparkling with hard-driving instrumental breaks, soaring vocal harmonies, and a heartfelt intensity that is entirely her own. Featured throughout, the members of The Rage prove themselves to be one of the best supporting bands in bluegrass, matching Rhonda's vigor and pushing her to dazzling new heights.

5 out of 5 stars Could have been five and a half stars, but.......2007-05-19

There isn't any more to add to the genuine excitement others have expressed over this recording. It deserves all five of those stars.

In fact, it could have been five and a half, but those who own both the CD and the DVD know that the CD omits the closing number. If you want your rabble properly roused, find the DVD and listen to The Orange Blossom Special. There just isn't anything you can say about it, you have to hear it to believe it -

5 out of 5 stars Live Bluegrass .......2007-03-23

Rhonda Vincent isn't yet 45 years old -- but she's been playing and recording for almost 40 of those years. The usual consensus is that she's the best female bluegrass singer in the world. Allison Kraus is about her only competition for that title.

This is Rhonda live with a collection of 20 songs ranging from cow chip-kicking numbers like "Kentucky Borderline," covers of Dolly Parton, "Jolene," and lovely ballads like "Missouri Moon" and "Ghost of a Chance." She's backed up by a four man band, The Rage, with banjo, fiddle, guitar, and bass. Vincent plays the mandolin. Just about every number is good and the patter between songs is warm. I saw Vincent live once and she has a pleasant spark and bubble, although I slightly resent her commercial plugs for her sponsor, Martha White flour. Other members of her band sing a few songs in the high lonesome style typical of bluegrass. The best song on the CD: "The Last Best Chance" -- a slow, sad, song with a violin, rather than a fiddle, a well-picked guitar and a lovely contemporary sound. Second best: "Muleskinner's Blues" -- a traditional hoot and holler toetapper.

If you don't know bluegrass very well this would be a good CD to start with. Not as well known to the general public as Allison Kraus, Vincent has a more powerful and twangy voice than Kraus. I took a look at her website. Boy, she is a hell of a road musician with more than 100 dates scheduled for the rest of this year and gigs from Switzerland to every corner of the Union.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome bluegrass but still a little country.......2007-02-15

This album is really spectacular in terms of energy, quality, and performance...both vocally and instrumentally Rhonda Vincent and the Rage are extremely talented. The only small problem I had with this record were a few tracks that sound like typical country love songs. I am a bluegrass fan, NOT a country music fan...so I have to skip over a few songs but the bluegrass is really phenomenal. If I liked country and bluegrass then I would give this album 5 stars, but it still gets a solid 4 stars. Nonetheless I still say this is a must-have album for all bluegrass fans.

5 out of 5 stars Saw this first on Public Television - WQED.......2007-01-11

I bought the CD and the DVD and could not have been more pleased. Living in the so called "largest city in Appalachia," Pittsburgh, PA, I have never heard of the great Rhonda Vincent until I happened to see this on public television. The only complaint I have is that although I want to see this artist perform live, she never gets relatively close to Pittsburgh. I would recommend buying the CD for your car and the DVD for your home viewing enjoyment.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Own.......2006-07-01

From the skillful picking to the outstanding vocals, this album is a must own for any music fan. Whether you listen to bluegrass or not, you will love this record. From ancient classics like "Driving Nails in My Coffin" to new classics like Josh Williams' "Cheating Kind of Life", this album is flawless.
