Neither a metal band toying with rap nor a rap group fronting as a rock band, R.A.T.M. is four guys who were never told that there's a difference, and who don't care to know. The knowledge-is-good-but-schools-are-bad rap, \"Take The Power Back,\" gives way to a metal instrumental bridge; and the guitar that introduces the Martin\/Malcolm\/Cassius homage, \"Wake Up,\" pays its own tribute to Zeppelin's \"Kashmir.\" The closest spiritual--but not stylistic--reference point are the alternative raps of the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy; and Rage's \"Bullet In The Head\" may be the best song about TV since the Heroes' \"Television, The Drug Of The Nation.\"\r\nRapper Zack De La Rocha has a thin voice that sounds more like a bored suburban thrasher than an inner-city rhyme animal, but his lyrics are something else altogether. Rising high above the nihilism of both hard-core rap and punk, he offers not just good slogans for a t-shirt, but the promise of a system to replace the one he's bent on destroying. His is a revolution with a purpose.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/27\/2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rage Against The Machine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186927390961,"sku":"TXSYJT-AR7Q-63","price":10.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/rage-against-the-machine-rage-against-the-machine-xx-20th-anniversary-bonus-tracks-explicit-content_Bdibk.jpg?v=1748729258","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/products\/rage-against-the-machine-rage-against-the-machine-xx-20th-anniversary-bonus-tracks-explicit-content","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
