Things Get More Metallic: Mini Review Rampage, Music Edition #4

I think the amount of albums I'm reviewing is exceeding the amount I'm reviewing, if only barely. These will eventually come to a close; I can almost taste the end. But for now, the rampage on your ears continues via the route of your eyes. Revel in the fourth installment of my album reviews.


Artist: Rage Against the Machine
Album: Evil Empire
Genre: Rock (Alternative & Punk)
5-Starred Songs: 3 (out of 11)


As I think I said before in my reviews of Rage Against the Machine, although I don't necessarily identify with the ideas and the mentality behind the music, they can be quite enjoyable in the appropriate mood. With that said, in my personal opinion "Evil Empire" is the weakest album of the 3 released. Although it features some excellent pieces like Revolver and Vietnow the rest of the album is mostly composed of "good but not great" songs. If you like their music style in general I suspect it's on par with their others, but for me a lot of the songs just didn't quite cut it. It's definitely not bad, in any way, but I do think it's the weakest.
