Aug 8, 2022This is literally my favorite Rage album. The entirety of this album mixes metal and hip-hop and funk so fluently while still staying true to the RATM sound and still sharing their MO. Solid listen if your a Rage fan.

Mar 30, 2021Meh it took me almost 17 years to actually enjoy this album it was mostly covers of other band or rap music covers but it aged well

May 16, 2013Rage's worst album, but certainly still quality music no doubt. Some songs are just very odd and not usual for Rage and they are not that good. Others I found to be very good. So in general not the best of RATM but certainly still a album nonetheless.

Aug 23, 2011You need to hear Rage at all cost, forget about their controversial themes and stuff like that. Their last album went as a bullet in the head a mind blowing sensation.

DavidAug 11, 2007Just a great album by a legendary band! What I love about this album is how Rage was able to cover songs that originally were not from the same genre which makes this album by far is the most experimental and unique record that they've ever released. Personally, I think this is their second best album next to their self-titled debut.

JimHOct 14, 2006There are missteps here (covering the Stones' Streetfightin' Man, for example) but there are many remakes here that are superior reimaginings ("Tom Joad," "How I Could Just Kill A Man," the title track, a handful of others). Morello is at his peak here; he never was better nor has he been better since.

WallaDec 18, 2005The kick ass tribute album we have all been waiting for. The adapted music is amazing and Zack de La Rocha is better than ever.

AdrianQMar 29, 2005Another great album from one of the greatest bands in recent history. Far beyond the tiresome 'Nu Metal' of other imposters this displays the perfect amalgamation of hip hop and heavy guitar driven rock. Oh and Cory are you trying to rate rage albums or just list them in chronological order?

adamlDec 24, 2003The critics need to stop doggin zach de la rocha. They make it sound like his voice ruins the entire band. I dont know what everybody else thinks and frankly I dont care but I dont think his voice is that annoying. I think it goes good with the band.

GregPJun 23, 2003Rage's last album is another stand out. Although not in the league with either their self-titled or the Battle of Los Angeles, it is very good showing off their musical talents. Rage is by far the greatest rap-metal outfit, and this album reassures that (sorry Linkin Park fans).

CoryKJan 2, 2003As a Rage fan, I must say that this album dissapointed me. In terms of "career album rank" I'd say it ranks 4 of 4. 1. Self-Titled 2. Evil Empire 3. Battle of Los Angeles 4. Renegades.

LindseyV.May 29, 2002This is not only Rage's latest album, but I must agree it's the best, with The Battle of Los Angeles running a close second.

An outrageously accomplished and daring album-
-
As could be expected, the set works best when the group focuses on material from its most recent forebears: rappers and hardcore bands.
-
De la Rocha's rabid diatribes occasionally go overboard, particularly on the tracks (Eric B & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend" and Minor Threat's "In My Eyes," for example) that feed into the band's sometimes one-dimensional rap-metal groove. But when the band steps out of character -- as it does during its rudimentary take on MC5's "Kick Out the Jams" or its pacific reading of "Beautiful World" -- the results can seem truly transcendent.
