    A personal manifesto, WWRS falls somewhere between the Pogues at their most urgent and Tom Joad-era Springsteen at his most feverish.

    World Wide Rebel Songs, is, without question, a welcome call to arms.

    What Morello lacks in subtlety, he makes up for in visceral feeling.

    World Wide Rebel Songs is Morello at his most confident and musically expansive.

    There is a sense of funk and bounce characterised by RATM on display here that gives the songs an underlying sense of conviction on top of Morello's already biting vocal approach.

    From start to finish, you are in Morello's world. It can be dark. It can be cheery. But most of all, it's his.

    Morello's still swinging: "Save the hammer for the Man," he advises on his newest, which includes Rage-style agit-metal and a folk rocker where Iraq soldiers take out their commanders.

    It's a trifle exciting when you just wanna play something on repeat. Morello 'folks' and 'rocks' his way through a myriad of anthems, soundingIt's a trifle exciting when you just wanna play something on repeat. Morello 'folks' and 'rocks' his way through a myriad of anthems, sounding Dylanesque at times. Solid vocal and guitar as standard from Morello, great snare going on and some choral backing that makes this album so uplifting. Given that this **** album is more electric less acoustic is just what the doctor ordered.
    A significant addition to any serious music collectors collection.
    Thank you please
