{"product_id":"rage-against-the-machine-rage-against-the-machine-lp","title":"Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn paper, Rage Against The Machine reads like Beavis, Boogie Down Productions and Butt-Head: an angry and enlightened rap frontman who preaches a multi-cultural alternative to what they teach you in schools and show you on TV, backed by a funky heavy metal rhythm section whose vampage and riffing pay direct tribute to the likes of the Edgar Winter Group and Led Zeppelin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there's no sense of fusion here. Neither a metal band toying with rap nor a rap group fronting as a rock band, R.A.T.M. is four guys who were never told that there's a difference, and who don't care to know. The knowledge-is-good-but-schools-are-bad rap, \"Take The Power Back,\" gives way to a metal instrumental bridge; and the guitar that introduces the Martin\/Malcolm\/Cassius homage, \"Wake Up,\" pays its own tribute to Zeppelin's \"Kashmir.\" The closest spiritual--but not stylistic--reference point are the alternative raps of the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy; and Rage's \"Bullet In The Head\" may be the best song about TV since the Heroes' \"Television, The Drug Of The Nation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapper Zack De La Rocha has a thin voice that sounds more like a bored suburban thrasher than an inner-city rhyme animal, but his lyrics are something else altogether. Rising high above the nihilism of both hard-core rap and punk, he offers not just good slogans for a t-shirt, but the promise of a system to replace the one he's bent on destroying. His is a revolution with a purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRage Against The Machine: Zack De La Rocha (vocals); Tom Morello (guitar); Timmy C.
