About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Rage Against the Machine spent four years making its second album, Evil Empire. As the title suggests, their rage and contempt for the "fascist" capitalist system in America hadn't declined in the nearly half-decade they were away. Their musical approach didn't change, either. Lead vocalist Zack de la Rocha is caught halfway between the militant raps of Chuck D and the fanatical ravings of a street preacher, shouting out his libertarian slogans over the sonically dense assault of the band. Guitarist Tom Morello demonstrates an impressive palette of sound, creating new textures in heavy metal, which is quite difficult, and de la Rocha's dedication to decidedly left-wing politics is admirable, simply because few other performers of the '90s had made any sort of political stance. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

March 18, 2005: The lyrics make white,rich americans just as EVIL as a politician and I quote(rollin down Rodeo with a shotgun these people ain't seen a brown skin man since their grandparents bought one). That just means slavery from a mexican point of veiw. I strongly recomend Evil Empire more than battle of los angelas. Evil Empire came at time when I was a teenager trying to find existence among the wealthy of South Dakota

March 28, 2004: Evil Empire, although not as epic as their next album, is a very good album. My favorite song on the album is "Bulls on Parade." They rap more on this one than on any other, which is pretty cool. I also really like the "Revolver" track. Anyways, buy The Battle of Los Angeles before you get this one, but if you like Battle, buy this album.
