This 5 song EP is from a band that many consider to be one of those buzz words that rhymes with superdupe. I, along with many fans of Rage Against The Machine have been waiting for the possibly inevitable reunion. The band put out such strong records in the ’90’s that fans salivate over anything even remotely close. Also Chuck D is incredibly awesome and DJ Lord and B-Real are no slouches either.
Prophets Of Rage – Sirens wail, and drums pound. “Clear the way….” Chuck D is on fire on this song. B-Real does his best Insane Clown Posse impression, and the boys from Rage kick ass and take names.
The Party’s Over – Ok. Did the band Know I was doing a misheard lyrics post as well? They must have. The Party Sofa. I don’t think I want to sleep on that one thanks.
Killing In The Name (Live) – This does not have the intensity of the original. The guitar, bass, and drums are wicked awesome though.
Shut ‘Em Down (Live) – A better live version. The keyboards have kind of a VH feel.
No Sleep ‘Til Cleveland (Live) – Bonus points from me for doing a Beastie Boys song.
8/10
I bought this but haven’t played it yet. Will be coming back here after I hear it!

Sorry. I couldn’t hear your question. The volume is way too loud, at least according to my neighbours 3 blocks over.

That was a typo. I typed blocks instead of counties.

I’ll turn it down a little since you haven’t listened to it yet. I don’t want to spoil it for you up in the ‘Sound.
Speaking of your town, I hear there is a drink fest disguised as a fishing derby coming up.

Much appreciated!
Yup, the annual fishing derby is on. It’s always a party. It’ll be interesting too, because our old mayor used to hassle Summerfolk about noise curfews yet the derby could party on full volume way past curfews. She attended the derby but not Summerfolk, so go figure. But now we have a new mayor (he’s our lawyer), and I think he’ll make them both knock it off on time.
Our previous house was about two blocks from the park where they hold both events. Lemme tell ya, the volume was always up for both. The folk festival got some decent acts. The derby got Shania Twin. Yeah.
Every year, when the derby starts, my lovely wife says “oh look, the hookers are in town for the weekend!”

Still only heard the one track from this and the live Rage covers they done. I’m not totally convinced we needed this, but it’s better than Audioslave.

I had to shut it down. Apparently stress cracks were happening on ships crossing the Atlantic, and sound waves were causing turbulence in jumbo jets.
