That album is mind blowing! Their debut album deserves to be mentioned in greatest debut album talks and lists. It's like every song, 1-10, is genius. One of the finest albums I've heard so far in my life. Anyone else think so?
Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

    Incredibly intense album...gotta love it. Raw anger mixed with a tight rhythm section and innovative guitar playing.

    Yo we gotta take the power BACK!

    One of my favourite albums, one of the finest debuts and one of the best albums of the 90's!

    absolutely amazing album, such a strong debut. Such a massive fan of the simple blues based riffs that dominate tim and toms output in both Rage and Audioslave, no one does it better.

    Yes, great album. Rage hasn't topped it. Evil Empire was good but not on the level as their debut.

    I guess it would depend on how many albums you consider amongst the greatest.

    Awesome album.

    Seeing them live is almost as good as Pearl Jam live. A different kind of energy. Just fantastic.

    Not really. Completely different and Rage is definitely not as good.

    in terms of political awakenings, the album changed the way i thought about the world. now that I am not an activist, I rarely listen to RATM or this album.

    I used to really like RATM but when I listen to them now they seem so ...dated

    Some people may argue that. Remember, I'm a huge fan of The Darkness and Ronnie James Dio. 8-) :twisted:
