E117 - Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire

Evil Empire is the second studio album by Rage Against The Machine. Released nearly 4 years after the band’s debut, the album is the expected RATM blend of rap, metal & funk that continues the group’s politically-charged sound and message. On the menu we’ve got tracks about the Zapatista uprising in Mexico, class warfare, racial inequality, political propaganda & critique as well as bonus revolutionary themes. Oh goody goody gumdrops.

Luckily, there’s boatloads of Tom Morello’s meaty riffs & guitar wizardry to go around as well as the signature Rage groove-heavy backbone rhythm section.

New opinions on old music, maybe.......hopefully.

Join Simon and his rotating cast of goons and guests as they attempt to offer a slice of colour to retroactively reviewing albums and looking back at chart countdowns. Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop, Rap, Easy Listening, nothing is off limits probably aside from mumble-rap, we’re too old for that.
