Just like their previous material, this album loses me in how repetitive and simple it is. Testify opens the album with a perfect example of what you can expect here. A groovy, funky riff kicks off the song well, the ever-impressive bass offering a great backbone. After repeating for a bit, the music all dies down to allow Zack to spit some venom. Then the riff comes back, then it disappears again… The whole time, the drums are essentially playing the same simple beat. By the end of the song, what seemed like a strong riff turns into “wow, that was the only riff on the song and I’m just about tired of it now.”

And then the next track does just about the same thing. Of course, the second track also offers a terrible… kazoo section? There are some surprises on the album, but usually they aren’t… great. The album does have a decent amount of variety between tracks, it’s more so that every track relies on one or two ideas and just repeats them over and over. Sleep Now in the Fire is definitely one of their best songs though.

What IS consistently great, is the basswork. Eternally funky, doing juicier leads than the guitars, the bass has so much power here. Any fans of great lead basswork can appreciate this. Unfortunately it doesn’t save the album from being rather boring, thanks to the other members playing quite simple, repetitive, and unevocative music. Vocal deliverance is strong, but lyrics range from great to poor, and just like the folly of the instr

Glad I've finally heard the whole thing because some very bright spots were new to me. Some of the songs alternate between very dynamic melodies and weaker parts that feel stuck in a rut and repeat too much. Of course this doesn't compare to their first album, but it's still good to give it a try.

The album starts off on fire with hit after hit, falls off a bit on "Mic Check", but comes back with two bombs: "Sleep Now in The Fire" and "Born of a Broken Man". In the second half of the album, I think "Voice of the Voiceless" is a notable highlight, but that's about it. It's not better than Rage's first album, but it's probably their second best album. Best: Calm Like a Bomb Sleep Now in The Fire Born of a Broken Man Guerrila Radio Weakest: Ashes in the Fall

밴드 그 자체와도 같았던 저항의 메세지와 태도는 세계적인 인기와 상업적 성공, 그리고 잘 빠진 음악과 함께 희석된 이미지로 남았다. 밴드도 팬들도 모두 즐거웠던 한 때로 기억되던 시절이나, 지금까지 더 이상의 정규작은 없었다.

Rage Against The Machine deshinchándose como un globo. No me va mucho este álbum. Ashes In The Fall.

아니 뭔 랩만 들어가면 점수를 이렇게 낮게 주는건지 참 그냥 음악꼰대인건지 모르겠지만 난 RATM 앨범중 1집과 3집을 가장 좋아하는데 그 이유는 2,4집보다 톰 모렐로의 기타가 훨씬 강렬하고 힘차기 때문이다 거기에 마치 일본도같이 날이 서있는 랩과 받쳐주는 베이스와 드럼 정말이 최고다!

랩메탈이라는 이름 아래 나올수있는 예상이가는 뻔한 곡들입니다. 그래도 전작보다는 훨씬 낫습니다. 그곡이 그곡같은, 구성에 있어서의 단조로움은 여전히 피할 수 없었지만, 중독성있는 명리프들을 발견 할 수 있었습니다. 멋졌던 데뷔작과 비슷한 수준이라고 생각합니다. 그 까다로운 피치쉬프터를 적재적소에 잘 활용했다는 점에 높은 점수를 주고싶습니다.

2집보다는 좀 나아졌습니다. 5번은 꽤 괜찮음ㅋ

celkom podarené album, v štýle Funk/Alt./Rap Metal/Rock, no oproti predchodcom je príklon k Rock-u výraznejší

Killing in the Name of라는 곡만 어렴풋이 알던 시절에 묘하게 끌리는 커버에 그냥 충동구입 해버렸던 개인적으로는 입문이 되었던 앨범이다. 탐 모렐로의 기량이 점점 빛을 발하는 앨범.
