    To fans that listened to Rage as a means to get "pumped up" and bring the "mosh" you’ll probably be disappointed by the lack of work out music. But to the fans of Zack’s militant poetry, listen and enjoy.

    It’s a five-tracker with bite, with venom; it’s a reminder that while de la Rocha might age like the rest of us, the fires in his belly haven’t come close to being doused by mundane revivals of his most famous group’s mosh-happy hits.

    There isn't any filler here; it's all the aural ignition of a gasoline bomb going off in your ears.

    The sound quality is, by all accounts, mediocre, but the raw nature of the music reflects the “one day” aspect of their motto.

    Awesome EP! Zack De La Rocha and Jon Theodore creates a hell of a lot using very few touches. Zack's lyrics are sharp as ever, and there's a huge amount of passion in all of the songs. Although some of the tracks might seem similar they are all very diverse in the end. And let's not forget Theodores awesome melodical drumming. One Day As A Lion... The greatest EP ever released!… Expand

    Excellent stuff. Once again a reminder of just how good these guys were and could have been.

    Apart from the first song 'Wild International' this EP doesn't have anything that really shines, most of the songs sound the same and Zach doesn't show the agression he has shows with Rage Against The Machine.… Expand

    Terrible. Sounds like material Rage purposely declined to record a decade ago minus a talented guitar and bass player. Zach needs to give it up. He hasn't done anything relevant since Evil Empire.… Expand
