Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 5/13/99, p.52
Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's."
Spin - 9/99, p.132
Ranked #26 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."
Spin - 5/93, insert, p.8
"...some of the fiercest, most impassioned musical polemics ever....fuses metal-tinged punk rock with hardcore rap....relentlessly inventive..."
Q - 7/01, p.91
Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time".
Q - 3/93, p.90
3 Stars - Good - "...they're every bit as angry as their name implies....this is a record of real attitude and energy..."
Alternative Press - 11/00, p.144
Included in AP's "10 Essential Political-Revolution Albums" - "...A debut that channels the aggression of the streets into a guitar-driven polemic. The targets are typical...but [their] integration of hip hop and heavy metal isn't."
Melody Maker - 1/1/94, p.77
Ranked #39 in Melody Maker's list of the 'Albums Of The Year' for 1993 - "...white hot metal and molten funk with industrial sonic disruptions...formidable..."
Musician - 1/93, p.90
"...Rage Against The Machine offers pointed politics and articulate anger....doesn't just draw from hip-hop and heavy metal, but integrates the two so completely that crossover is no longer an issue..."
Kerrang (Magazine) - p.52
"[The album] spectacularly fused disparate genres..."
NME (Magazine) - 2/6/93, p.29
7 - Very Good - "...What makes RATM more than just another bunch of prodigiously capable genre-benders is their total lack of pretension or contrivance....the results burn with an undeniable conviction..."
NME (Magazine) - 12/25/93, p.67
Ranked #31 in New Musical Express' list of 'The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE put screaming funk-bone hardcore and agit-rock sensibilities on top of the pops...."
Paste (magazine) - "Tom Morello's inventive technique pushed the limits of what a guitar could do, and Zack de la Rocha's revolutionary leftist views produced some of the most scathing lyrics in any genre of music."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] radical fistful of funk, rap, and rock. Through its power, it remains an essential call to activism and a necessary lesson on how to withstand the opposition."
