I'm sitting up late to watch the boxing, stuck this on. What an album.

The first seven tracks are absolute killers.
 
Prefer their first album a lot more...or the first half of The Battle of Los Angeles. Listen to if you have not yet done so.

Snakecharmer's my favourite from Evil Empire.
 
I'm familiar with all their albums. Class band.

Snakecharmer is probably my favourite from Evil Empire too. Or maybe Down Rodeo.

From the other albums, Sleep Now in the Fire and Take the Power Back are unreal. I love most of their songs though.
 
Plus they were responsible for one of the coolest ending sequence/credits to any film ever.



This is not helping my insomnia SC. I now hold you fully accountable.
 
Rage were amazing. I love Bulls On Parade, People Of The Sun and Revolver from that album.
I have the People Of The Sun single cd from back in the day. The B sides are Killing In The Name and Bullet In The Head. I don't think you can get much better than that!
 
fecking sick record! A few years ago I didn't think this album could hold a candle to the self titled album but I absolutely love it nowadays.

Bulls on Parade
Vietnow
Down Rodeo

My personal favourites.
 
Their music is ok, if a little repetitive.

They're an absolute con, though. They've made a handsome living from peddling their diluted form of rebellion and anti-capitalism.... all while being signed to Epic Records (a subsidiary of Sony) which is home to X-Factor winners, Avril Lavigne and Good Charlotte.

Fight the power, guys!

I think you are putting the horse before the cart there on a couple of matters.

Anyway, I was a fan of these in my youth and I always considered Evil Empire a much better album than their debut.
