    Glad to see i'm not the only one with some sense :D


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

    One of the few CDs I ever owned that I can listen to front to back without a thought of skipping anything.

    Evil Empire better than the debut? Hell no!

    I mean, it's great, but every single song on the debut is absolute gold. Evil Empire's got some filler. I actually think Battle of LA is their 2nd-best.

    Although I do kind of like the Darkness as well, so you know, take it with a grain of salt.

    That's blasphemy. The self titled is CLEARLY the best, but there's no way Battle of LA is 2nd best. I love RATM but I can't even tell you 3 songs off of Battle of LA. Even though I find it to be leagues behind the first album, Evil Empire is far superior to the Battle of LA. I even like the cover album better than the Battle of Los Angeles.

    RATM's debut is an arousing riffola laden classic on par with PJ's Ten

    You don't know great songs like Sleep Now In The Fire, Testify, Born Of A Broken Man?!

    You're missing out.

    Nah, when you mention them I remember them, but they're not songs that stand out in my memory. But actually, I could tell you three songs...and you mentioned two of them.

    The riff from Sleep Now In The Fire is probably the catchiest one they have!

    The first half of Battle for LA is unfuckwithable.

    I think they broke up because Zach got writer's block on how to work the word "fire" into his lyrics.

    I LOVE all of Rage's albums, but their S/T was definitely best.

    Anyone ever listen to Zack's hardcore band Inside Out (pre-Rage)? Cool stuff actually:
