bankrobberAug 3, 2009The metacritic average does not include the rave reviews from The Boston Herald, The Associated Press, or Revolver Magazine. They are all major publications and would easily be rating the album at a 90 or above. This would change the album's score dramatically. You should include those.

PrestonJJul 7, 2009Perfect cruising music. The tempo never really changes over the cd's course, but is plenty of fun while it lasts. Ideal for long drives and riotous nights with your friends.

AaronIJun 21, 2009this album really shows that the RAGE sound is not dead as it has many similarities to morellos old days. with boots lyrics, it makes it sound like a revamped, new and improved Rage against the machine. Morello is a legend.

QuayTJun 17, 2009Don't expect Rage Against the Machine, but it's still pretty good and harkens back to the socially-aware rap that appears to be going extinct.

-
While Morello's and Riley's styles suit each other well, their acclaimed resumes are ultimately just a reminder that both men have done more memorable work elsewhere.
-
It's Street Sweeper Social Club, pairing guitarist Tom Morello with rapper Boots Riley on a self-titled collection of striking, strident songs that take aim at the status quo with devastating riffs and searing lyrics.
-
Their debut suffers from Morello's uneven arrangements, which vacillate between rousing hardcore funk and predictable hard-rock crunch.
