THIS IS RAGE'S FIRST ALBUM. RELEASED IN NOVEMBER OF '92. IT BLEW AWAY EVERYBODY WITH ITS METAL AND RAP FUSION AND POWERFUL LYRICS. THIS IS MINE AND PROBABLY EVERY TRUE RAGE FAN'S FAVORITE ALBUM. EVERY SONG HAS A MESSAGE, THERE IS NOT ONE THING ON THIS ALBUM THAT IS THERE FOR SHOW. ITS ALL TO WAKE YOU UP THE THE POWERFUL MACHINE CALLED THE GOVERNMENT.

TRACK LISTING:

THIS IS RAGE'S SECOND ALBUM CALLED "EVIL EMPIRE." ITS WAS RELEASED IN APRIL OF '96 AND DEBUTED AT NO.1 ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. THIS IS A GOOD ALBUM BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH IT WAS MADE. THE BAND WAS "FORCED" TO MAKE THIS ALBUM. THEY WERE NOT TALKING MUCH TO EACH OTHER AND REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE MAKING AN ALBUM. SO THE REASON IT MAY NOT BE REAL GOOD IS BECASUE OF THAT REASON. THE TITLE WAS TAKEN FROM A SPEECH RONALT REGAN GAVE ABOUT RUSSIA. TOM MORELLO SAYS THAT THEY ARE TAKING THEIR ALUBM MAKING THEIR THIRD AS YET UNTITLED ALBUM.
