I really can't listen to much of RATM at one time, one song is enough usually. Bombtrack is a great song đź‘Ť
 
Bee
out of exile was a big let down....

I dont agree With that. I think it is better than the origional Audioslave album. it has some really good tracks on it. Especially The Worm, Your Time Has Come, And Drown Me Slowly.
 
The majority of what I listen to is rap and jazz, but I've been listening to Rage for years. Their 4 albums are the only rock I've got on my ipod, but each song is worth having there!
 
Rage and Audioslave are pretty effing awesome. End of story.

The only thing with some of the guitaring on both Audioslave and Out of Exile to me is that some tracks sound a bit, well, wild. With RATM, I reckon Zack's voice kinda made up for some of the eccentricity, but with Cornell's much smoother, grown up <?> voice, it just sounds a bit wierd. Most of the tracks are still pretty amazing, but thats the only gripe I have with them.

Self titled album owns all, Battle of LA would be second for me.

Yeah er... after stayin up till 2am and putting Out OfExcile on i figured how much of a kick ass album it truly is, tracks like Drown Me Slowly, Man Or Animal, Your Time Has Come and Like A Stone (Live) are truly amazing, Morello is a changed man he's added a bit of old schoolness to his riffs, its simple words its Rage, but matured.
 
On another note if you adore the first 2 albums by Rage (Self titled and Evil Empire) get the Rage DVD, its truly amazing especially when they do Killing in the name at the PinkPop festerval '94 in Netherlands, thousnads and thousands of people just jumping in time...

It also has all of the videos from the songs they released over those 2 albums (Killing in the name, Freedom, Bulls On Parade and People Of The Sun) uncensored and a poem by De La Rocha about the Red Indians being effectivly drove out by the FBI.

Check it out đź‘Ť
 
I love 'em. At least they had something to say.

Sadly thats also a reason people use to dislaike them :(
 
yea they had a whoooole lot to say. Lets reflect back on some of the acute lyrics they expressed:

Lets look at this fancy little dandy:

"Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn"

no words...should have sent...a poet.

And what about this cute little number:

"It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again! Yeah!

It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!

It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again!

It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around!
Of the sun"

That sure got my intelect to swarming.

And who could forget the ever so clever:

"Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, yo, yo, yo"

and...

"what ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?
What ya say, what ya say, what ya say, what?"

They took the words right out of my mouth...
 
wow. RATM is probably the only popular band that has SINCERE political beliefs. Zach de la Rocha is a good dude. He got his start in the hardcore scene with a band called Inside Out. But of course, none of you know who Inside Out is. RATM > you. Inside Out > you. RATM had more talent than 90% of popular artists.

wow. youre stupid. seriously. you take what...a small exerpt of lyrics that include way more dialogue than that, and say they aer meaningless. you can do that to any music. "this is for the people of the sun" actually does have meaning. many times lyrics are more than they seem. just because you dont get it, doesnt mean there isnt meaning. thats ignorance on your part, not the band.

if ANY song has a part in it where they say the same line over more than 3 times then they have no talent, especially if they dont have the instruments to go with it. The only way that should be acceptable is if they have good instrumental work. 40% of the song may actually be "saying something" as you put it, but the 60% that repeats itself ruins it.
