Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles Album

A successful fusion of music and politics, The Battle of Los Angeles album is Rage Against the Machine at their inspiring best. Remember, this is a group that once performed naked with duct tape over their mouths to protest censorship. Highlights on the album include "Guerilla Radio," which fights Al Gore, and "Sleep Now In the Fire," about government greed. "Testify" is about a witness testifying in court, "Born As Ghosts" addresses the issue of children becoming soldiers and fighting in war, and "Ashes In the Fall" takes on religious hypocrisy. Rage may not be creating the next young revolutionaries, but they do at least stir up that spirit in each generation of rockers.
