Title: They've Lost Their Edge
Review: Rage Against the Machine are just the next victim of the pop trend, along with bands like Limp Bizkit, and it's just too bad. Guerilla Radio, the first single is the rap-metal-pop song of the year, except for that incessant Falling Away From Me. It does have excellent guitar work, but I can still imagine middle schoolers across the U.S. moshing to this at their dances (not a good thing). Sleep Now in the Fire is not a good song either, and Rage has explored too much classic rock on this one. Born of a Broken Man is my favorite here, it just reflects their old sound in a new way. Other okay songs are Mic Check, Testify, and Maria. Tom Morello still has his amazing edge as a guitar player, but the band has lost much of their politics to MTV. Maybe next time.
