Ranked #47 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records".Spin - 12/99, pp.213-4

"...This is music made to agitate, not seduce, and at that it succeeds triumphantly....[RATM] make a case that there are still some things worth fighting for." - Rating: ACMJ - 1/10/00, p.3
Ranked #5 in CMJ's "Top 30 Editorial Picks [for 1999]."CMJ - 11/1/99, p.3
"...displays [Tom Morello's] virtuosic guitar talents, stomping on effects pedals and churning out resonant, body-slamming riffs that will leave you shuddering....Anger is a gift, and RATM effectively shapes the emotion into compact, blustery songs..."Vibe - 12/99, p.248
"...a faster cleaner, and far more diverse than anything [they] ever recorded....Rage's music moves confidently forward....BATTLE won't disappoint..."Urban Latino (1/00, p.82) - 3 out of 4 - "...another justice driven steamroller....their conscientious use of talent and wrath for the forces of good is surely applaudable..."
