Rage Against the Machine is the eponymous debut studio anthology past American rock band Rage Confronting the Machine,[iii] released on November 3, 1992 by Epic Records. The ring released their demo album, also called Rage Against the Auto 11 months prior which independent earlier recordings of seven of the 12 songs found on this album. With politically themed lyrical content, the album artwork was notable for featuring a graphic photo of Thích Quảng Đức performing self-immolation. Rage Against the Machine was a disquisitional success upon release with several critics noting the album's politically motivated calendar and praising Zack de la Rocha's potent song delivery. Rated number 24 on the Rolling Rock's list of "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time", the album peaked at number one on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart and number 45 on the United states Billboard 200 and has gone on to achieve triple platinum sales certification in the Usa.

Artwork and sleeve notes [edit]

The cover features a crop of Malcolm Browne' famous photograph of the self-immolation of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đình Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion. The photograph drew international attention and persuaded U.Due south. President John F. Kennedy to withdraw support for Diệm's regime. In 1963, Associated Printing correspondent Browne's coverage of the event earned the Globe Press Photo of the Yr honor.

The songs on Rage Against the Motorcar all feature political messages. Activists such equally Conditional IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands and Blackness Panther Political party founder Huey P. Newton are listed in the "Thank you For Inspiration" department. Likewise thanked were Ian and Alec MacKaye.[four]

The lyrics for each vocal were printed in the album booklet with the exception of those for "Killing in the Proper name", which were omitted; the booklet reads "2. KILLING IN THE Proper noun", skips the lyrics and continues with the next vocal.

The argument "no samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this record" tin can be found at the end of the sleeve notes. Similar statements were fabricated in the band's subsequent albums. The ring also refer to themselves as "Guilty Parties" for each album.

Bout [edit]

The album was supported past the Rage Against the Car Tour, which commenced in early 1993 and concluded on December 31, 1993.[v]

Rage Against the Machine received critical acclaim. In a contemporary review, NME wrote that "what makes RATM more than merely another bunch of prodigiously capable genre-benders is their full lack of pretension or contrivance ... the results burn with an undeniable conviction."[13] Q magazine deemed it "a tape of real attitude and energy",[18] while Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn hailed it every bit "a hit, politically conscious debut" and de la Rocha "a bona fide star who combines on stage a Bob Marley-similar charisma and a Chuck D.-style rap command -- and the music itself is equally tough and relentless as his raps."[xi]

Robert Christgau was somewhat less impressed in The Village Phonation, summing information technology up as "metal for rap-lovers—and opera-haters" while naming "Know Your Enemy" and "Wake Up" equally highlights.[19] AllMusic reviewer Eduardo Rivadavia wrote in a retrospective review, "it was the first album to successfully merge the seemingly disparate sounds of rap and heavy metal", he also praised the album'south "meaningful rhymes and emotionally charged confidence" calling it "essential".[9]

In 2001, Q named Rage Confronting the Auto equally one of the l Heaviest Albums of All Time. The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
