This album needs no introduction. I remember the first time I listened to this as a kid when my neighbor brought it over to my house. I instantly fell in love with Rage's sound. As I've gotten older, I've realized that I had no idea what I was listening to - and now that I know, it adds even more meaning to the album. Sadly still relevant 22 years later. Aside from the music itself, this is also a phenomenally well recorded and produced album. The combo of Andy Wallace / Bob Ludwig at the helm for mixing / mastering can't be beat. I'm lucky enough to own an original 1992 vinyl press of this - and even as someone who generally questions the "vinyl always sounds better" mentality, this one really does. When I have friends over who have never heard a hi-fi system, this is high on my list of albums that I use to show how good recorded music can sound (I'll get off my audiophile soapbox now) IMO Rage never quite captured the magic of this album again, even though I do like their subsequent work. This album is just too good to beat.
