I feel like I always believed Rage Against the Machine to be way too hard metal. But the bass and guitar are super good and interesting to listen to. There is a little more screaming and a little more "noise" here than I generally prefer. I liked it. With a good set of headphones (that I use at my computer) and at an appropriate (not too loud) volume, it's great. I wonder if worse speakers would make me hate it, because I would be unable to make out the bass or other interesting pieces. 4/5 stars
