RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about Rage Against the Machine: Evil Empire.
October 23, 2012

Rage Against the Machine's follow-up to their 1992 debut (which wasn't anything great) dissapoints even more, and is a prime example as to why I think so many of the mainstream bands in the 90's are all fluff and no stuff. While their debut at least had some good rock riffs and solos here and there, "Evil Empire" throws those away and trades them in for oddly-crafted riffs … more

If you traveled back into the late 90's and early 00's, and asked me what favorite band was, I'd quickly answer Rage Against the Machine. Especially around 2002 up to around 2004, I drank up the Kool-Aid and bought into their political views and thought their music was the epitome of metal music (little did I know that I was terribly mistaken into thinking that RATM was a metal … more

If you went back into the late 90's/early 00's and asked me what my favorite bands were, I would have gladly answered Tool and Rage Against the Machine. Back then, I thought both bands were such musically-brilliant, insightful bands because of the fact that they were marketed as bands that were heavy metal yet were insightful and thought-provoking, and being the gullable kid I was due to my … more

Faith No More was a band who I liked upon first hearing them in my senior year of high school, but after venturing deep into the thrash, death, and black metal niches in later years, I'd grow to hate FNM. Now that isn't to say I hate Faith No More because they're not "true metal," it's that all the songs I've heard from them are cartoony, nasaly … more

Before I elaborate in this Quick Tip, keep in mind that the band's politics are NOT taken into account when rating the album, I only point out how childish they feel and how hypocritical they are. I used to adore this album back in the late 90's and early 2000's since at the time, I thought it was the heaviest and most intense music out there. I also … more

Bob Dylan turned 50 yesterday! I know, Robert Zimmerman is 71. But his first recording as "you may call me" Bob Dylan is now 50 years old. Wow. So, lets put things in perspective. My children still listen to and love (some of) Dylan's music and lyrics, even though it was recorded 30 to 40 years before they were born. Now, go back … more

Despite the band's goofy fashion tastes of the time, Living Colour cranked out some good and diverse music in their prime days. Dabbling into a variety of styles and meshing them properly with some solid lyrics, this band is one to check out if you like funk rock.

REM is a rather hit or miss band with me. They make some grandiose and emotional music and are a band of true idealists angry with the state of the world, and so they tend to draw the same crowd of fans as U2, one of my favorite bands. They sing some powerful songs - "Losing my Religion," "Orange Crush," "The Great Beyond" - but when they're off, they're OFF.

This band was nothing more than an unimaginative, uninspired amalgamation of pseudo-thrash metal fused with banal nu-metal and peppered with the occasional Arabic-sounding guitar noodle. The band's attempts at being "wacky" really make me sick. Look, guys, you aren't Frank Zappa just because your lyrics string together random words, and your political views are no more insightful … more

No joke, this is the worst band I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. To me, they embody all the worst aspects of mainstream music, whether it be the nerdy rapping, cringe-inducing emo whining, nu-metal guitar flatulence, and laughably bad DJ scratches.

Over 30 years of great alternative pop and modern rock records and they've now announced that they've broken up. This is truly a sad day for music fans!

OVER. RATED. WILDLY. A manufactured band - better known as the kind of group Johnny Rotten would hate - created for the sole intent of causing controversy, the Sex Pistols released all of one album. Ever. This band is part of the reason the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is such a joke. They are coasting on one album and an explicit TV appearance without a ton of talent. Coasting, that is, when they're … more

Back in the days when I was a young boy doing grown man shit. Many albums would play the soundtrack for everything we did for weeks, and sometimes even months. One such album that would stay in our boxes for an untold amount of time would be the 1993 debut album from Onyx called Bacdafucup. The group was made up of the four rappers from Queens NY named Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz, Sonsee, and the … more

Hailed by many hip hop fans and experts to be a hip hop masterpiece. Nas debut album Illmatic did for lyrical finesse what Dr. Dre's album The Chronic did for beats and that was simply raise the bar. When Illmatic first dropped during that time. The album was pretty much on another level when compared to many emcees, who claimed at some point or another they were mic rippers. Illmatic … more

After a ten year lay off(minus the solo cuts). Methodman and Redman returned with their 2009 sophomore LP Blackout! 2, which is obviously the sequel to their 1999 debut album Blackout!. Most hip hop fans regard their first album as a hip hop classic. Well personally I don't believe that; I feel that album is average at best, and it rarely gets any spins out of me. In fact, … more

One of the all-time great rock groups. Trent Reznor and company prove that music can be produced in a unique and collage-like manner by creating songs using sampling, live performance, pre-recorded elements, and multi-layering. In terms of atmosphere and mood, Nine Inch Nails is the epitome of the Goth Industrial band. Inventive, controversial, and undeniably one of the most influential bands of the … more
