What do we think of Rage Against The Machine?
YES SIR I'LL GET THE JAB LIKE YOU TELL ME

>>128299648would've liked the band better if Zach didn't sound like an angry 15 year old boy
>>128299648Beyond >>128299669 they were never that great to being with. Even at the time they were considered mallcore numetal. They have some good songs I will admit but overall if you want politically charged left wing sloganeering music there's wayyy better punk and hip-hop groups with more intelligent lyrics and heavier sounding music
>>128299707For left wing political there’s Billy Bragg https://youtu.be/VwP-5ac51Dw
>>128299648>FUCK THE MACHINE!>COME SEE US LIVE ONLY $150 A TICKET!!I'm confused
>capitalism bad!>government bad!>TAKE THE GOVERNMENT MANDATED (UNTESTED) MRNA VAXXINE IF YOU WANNA COME SEE US AT CAPITOL ONE ARENA FOR $300+ PER TICKETdisingenuous retards. de la rocha's mom is glowie-adjacent as well.
>>128299648adequate tunes which sound even better when you go through that edgelord phase one of those bands whose best of compilation CD is far better than any individual album
>>128299958>fuck big corporations and the government!!!!>wait, cartoonishly evil pharmaceutical corporations are teaming up with the government to hand out ineffective vaccines?>GET THE JAB CHUD
What the hell is the singer talking about when he says "they rally 'round the family with a pocket full of shells"
Not metal.
>>128299648Aside from the inherent contradicting of being a commercial band that's "against the system", music mixed with politics generally ages poorly.
>>128299648I don't like bands who are very clearly trying to be heavy and aggressive, but their brand of heavy and aggressive isn't particularly heavy or aggressive. I can tolerate brain-dead populist lyrics, but I don't like brain-dead populist lyrics that take themselves as profound by spouting "I'm a 14yo socialist and this is deep" political analysis. So I don't like this album much. But that's okay, it's clearly not for everybody.
>>128299648Commies whining over the microphone is not music.
>>128299669They never said that.
>>128300313>TheyShe*
>>128299648I fucking hate them, their music, their political beliefs, and their very essence as people, I hope they die soon along with all their fans, and that I'd never have to hear their bland mallmetal punkfunk bullshit music ever again, plastic clown band fronted by a chinless nerd, I've seen better and more coherent rants on schizoid YouTube accounts
>>128299648>What do we thinkMy hive mind is blank, sorry
>>128299648best band of the 90s
Gay. Cringe. Retarded.
>>128299648FUCK YOU I WILL GIVE AWAY MY PROPERTYFUCK YOU I WILL PAY THE MONTHLY ALIMONY
I think they sounded better with Cornell.

>caring about public health is selling out
Cochise is a pretty cool riff, that's tom morello right?
>>128306522>conflating being compelled to do something with being told not to do something
listened to this record back to back today while doing housework. Still one of (if not the best) debut records from any band period. Who cares if they sold out, they still sound tight
>>128306763what strikes me musically is that it’s pretty timeless, I guess because they avoided all the songwriting and production cliches of the era, one of the tracks says something like “as we move into ‘92…” and it’s jarring to think of it being recorded that early.
>>128306708>The government compels me to obey the traffic laws when drivingFUCK YOU MOM AND DAD!!!
>>128306763not to mention how evil empire is almost as good if not better
>>128308475Obeying traffic laws can save your life. The jab can not
>>128300070It’s about going on beachside vacation with your family. He’s talking about seashells
>>128310979I think it’s better, it’s more intricate less bare bones, more interesting on repeat listens
Super fucking gay and cringe boomer shit. Cornball mfers
>>128299648Bit juvenile like all nu-metal, but some pretty solid grooves and the occasional interesting guitar sound.
>>128306607Audioslave is literally RATM with a different singer, so yes.
teen angst: the band
i physically cringe when i hear them. they suck
>>128299648They seem to really trigger /mu/Therefore, they are based
