180 Gram Vinyl! Features Covers of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, MC5, The Rolling Stones & More!!
Following 3 studio albums with original material (Rage Against The Machine, Evil Empire, Battle Of Los Angeles) Rage Against The Machine offered a tribute to their musical heroes, showing a broad variety in their favorite artists and genres. The album (rel. 2000) proved to be their latest studio album and includes songs originally made famous by artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Minor Threat, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, MC5, The Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, Devo and Afrika Bambaataa.
Instead of just giving each song the hard-riffing-and-rapping treatment, each song is treated differently, resulting in a musically varied album. For instance, 'Renegades of Funk' and 'Microphone Fiend' have never been rocked so hard before, whereas 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' is Rage Against The Machine more subtle than you've ever heard before!
"From the opening wah-wah guitar that kicks Eric B. and Rakim's 'Microphone Fiend' wide open, Rage make clear that this won't be a canned karaoke cakewalk: The groove enters at a bloodthirsty pitch, and vocalist Zach de la Rocha drops verses with the most agility and syncopated precision he's ever displayed. Throughout the album, the rhythm section matches de la Rocha's intensity." - Tom Moon, allmusic.com
