HMV Review

Rage Against the Machine spent four years making its second album, Evil Empire. Their rage for the fascist capitalist system in America hadn't declined in the nearly half-decade they were away. Their musical approach didn't change, either. Lead vocalist Zack de la Rocha is caught halfway between the militant raps of Chuck D and the fanatical ravings of a street preacher, shouting out his libertarian slogans over the sonically dense assault of the band. Guitarist Tom Morello demonstrates an impressive palette of sound, creating new textures in heavy metal, which is quite difficult, and de la Rocha's dedication to decidedly left-wing politics is admirable, simply because few other performers of the '90s had made any sort of political stance. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

DOWN ON THE UPSIDE | 不明 | 26/April/2009

'96年発表｡93年1月に発表されたﾃﾞﾋﾞｭｰ作で､そして､同年の"ﾛﾗﾊﾟﾙｰｻﾞ"ﾂｱｰの中で全裸になってPMRCへの無言の抗議を行ったことでも大いに話題を呼んだﾚｲｼﾞ､待望の本作｡3年も間をあけてのﾘﾘｰｽだが､結果的には短期間集中で､ﾘﾊｰｻﾙ･ｽﾀｼﾞｵを使ってﾗﾌな録り方をしたという本作｡ﾌｧﾝｷｰでﾋｯﾌﾟﾎｯﾌﾟでﾊｰﾄﾞｺｱなﾛｯｸで､生々しく激しくｴﾈﾙｷﾞｯｼｭなｻｳﾝﾄﾞに仕上がっている｡

1曲単位の完成度は1stだが、総合的なバランスはこのアルバムがNo.1。音が素晴らしい。

こういう商業主義的な企画に彼らがホントにＯＫを出したのだろうか…ホントなら寂しい。もちろんアルバムは満点。
