Title: Tedious
Product review: First off i have to say that Zack de la Rocha is one of the greatest rappers ever. His lyrics are thoughtful and his delivery is unique and passionate. This album however is a tedious and stale affair. Rage's debut is arguably the greatest Rap/Rock album ever and probably always will be. Everything seemed to gel together on the debut. It was fresh and exciting and it rocked hard. On Evil Empire they have become more of a straight ahead rap band without the rock. The band doesn't get to flesh out its sound like they did on the debut. They seem to have been demoted to just background noise for Zack's political rants. The songs are very repetive and predictable and the vocals start to gripe really bad. Tom morello makes all sorts of bizarre sound effects with his guitar but thier are no great hooks. Thier is little rage or intensity on Evil Empire, it's all very calculated and contrived. Thier next album would unfortunately follow the same trend.
