User Album Review
The firepower on their self-titled debut is driven by Morello's primal, unmistakeable riffs and Commerford's funky bass licks that have lost none of their thundering power. If we can’t have Zack de la Rocha blazing upfront, surely there's no one better than Chuck D - the man who once called Elvis a racist sucker - to lead the resistance.
He and B-Real have loosened the tempo but their lyrics are just as politically charged. “Unfuck the World” is a fierce rejection of racism and politicians who "spew lie after fucking lie". “Living On The 110” refers to the large numbers of homeless people living under the 110 freeway in LA and “Fired A Shot” is as much about police brutality as it symbolises Prophets of Rage urging people to stand up and be the change they want to see.
These tracks aren't revolutionary classics on the same level as “Killing in the Name” or “Fight the Power” just yet, but nevertheless, they raise a fist to all those who continue to fight ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality and the elite. All of which, as we know, are American dreams.
