After one of the most intense Xmas number one chart battles in the UK an old 1992 single by Rage Against The Machine (RATM) beat the latest X-Factor winner to the coveted number 1 spot. This single was ‘Killing In The Name’ and was released on the self titled album ‘Rage Against The Machine’ in 1992. This album may be getting close to 20 years old but it sounds as good and refreshing now as it did at its time of release; containing 10 classic songs all created by the bands instruments, no computer enhanced or manufactured rubbish like what clutters the airwaves today. There aren’t many bands that sound like RATM. The tracks are all excellent and the lyrics are still relevant in today’s world. It contains some memorable well written guitar riffs and solos perfectly complimented by the bass and drums. A great addition to any collection.

‘Rage Against The Machine’ was the best release of 1992 which popularised the mix of hip-hop/rap with rock music. This album had an epic influence on a good proportion of what became nu metal and other similar genres.
My favourite tracks from this album would be the famous ‘Killing In The Name’ and ‘Wake Up’. ‘Wake Up’ is would be familiar to most people who have watched ‘The Matrix’ as it forms part of the soundtrack for this film.
If you have not listened to any RATM or do not own any then this album is the perfect one to start with.
