Negative Positive
Title: Monotonous (2.5 stars)
Review: Rage's fire was evidently dying when they released the Battle of Los Angeles. Instead of the undeniable power one would feel while listening to their first two albums has diminished, and Rage seemed no longer potent as a band than they did in 1993.There are a few good songs here, like "Testify," "Calm Like a Bomb," and "Born of a Broken Man," but many of the songs sound like as if Rage was running out of ideas for riffs and songs, and de la Rocha's lyrics no longer were inspired by any new ideas, and most of them sound like rehashed lyrics from their 2 previous songs. I'd recommend their self titled album and Evil Empire over this one any day of the week.
