Some music exists purely to kick your arse and this album is a perfect example. Rage Against the Machine aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I think they're amazing. Their lyrics and the manner in which they are delivered are awe-inspiring. Some of the simplest bass-lines and guitar chords out there have gone into generating songs that can only be described as anthems.

The cover features a photo of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, burning himself to death in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đình Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion. The photograph drew international attention and persuaded U.S. President John F. Kennedy to withdraw support for Ngô Đình Diệm's government. It was taken by Associated Press correspondent Malcolm Browne; a similar photograph earned the award of World Press Photo of the Year in 1963.
The songs on Rage Against the Machine all feature political messages. Activists such as Provisional IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands and Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton are listed in the "Thanks For Inspiration" section. Also thanked were Ian and Alec MacKaye – de la Rocha was straight edge at the time, though he later took up smoking.
The lyrics for each song were printed in the album booklet with the exception of those for "Killing in the Name", which were omitted; the booklet reads "2. KILLING IN THE NAME", skips the lyrics and continues with the next song.
The statement "no samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this record" can be found at the end of the sleeve notes. Similar statements were made in the band's subsequent albums. The band also refer to themselves as "Guilty Parties" for each album.... (more)(less)

"Let's get the gun and shoot him/her!!
But before you do that, take your headphones and turn the volume up at this album. This music will calm you down in a nice way. In an aggressive way, i guess. but you feel better after you listened to that and shouted in your pillow a few times. RATM makes you stronger. "
"Another one of my all-time favorite albums, definitely in my top 5. This was such a groundbreaking and revolutionary sound, there was just nothing else quite like it. There's just a raw and angry energy that just gets my blood pumping and my mind thinking, such an intense and epic album!
Favorite song on the album:
Take the Power Back

"The first cd i got was 'the best off'. Later when i got all of their work i realized that most of the songs that i rated 5/5stars(windos media library) were from this album.

An album cover like this is what made me buy the album to begin with. I just thought it was insane to have a man burning alive on your album cover. i don't know the history behind this photograph but it's still a remarkable album cover. "

"Varmaankin suurin yllättäjä koko listalla. En olisi uskonut, että tämä on näin törkeän hyvä levy. Kyseessä on todellinen genren pioneeriteos, joka yhdistää useita tyylilajeja saumattomasti yhteen. Yhteiskuntakritiikki on aivan uskomattoman hyvin kerrottua ja soundit hakevat vertaistaan. Myös biisien totaalinen raivokkuus teki minuun suuren vaikutuksen. Erittäin kovaa kamaa!"
