>ranked 181st best album of all time
What the fuck RYM?
Do you even go on the website that much? Buttrock is always high on the best of charts on there
RYM thinks OK Computer is the greatest album of all time.
Think about that.
>>61017569
That's more understandable than Rage Against the Machine
RATM is a really good album and mainstream, why are you surprised?
>>61017569
>a bunch of nerds like Radiohead a lot
no surprises there
>>61017592
>Radiohead greatest of all time more understandable than RATM in the top 200
kek
#181 isn't that bad - i don't like RATM but they are a cultural touchstone of sorts
i'm more annoyed by this cheesy irrelevant feelscore being in the top 50
>>61017593
It's angsty mad at the system high schooler music
>>61017548
kinda low desu
RATM is edgy rap metal of the 90s but unlike most edgy rap metal of the 90s the anger is at least directed towards something.
>>61017548
it is a great abum though
>every song is memorable
>manages to raise social awareness just in the right way
>every member of the band is at his best
>somewhat experimental for mainstream standards
>>61017640
Yes, obviously, towards the machine. That doesn't make the music good.
this is more confusing
>>61017647
>somewhat experimental for mainstream standards
When things like A Day in the Life and Tool are mainstream I don't really think this claim stands up to scrutiny.
Rage Against The Machine, the band that launched rap-metal worldwide, realized one of the most important leitmotivs of the decade: a fundamental unity of purpose between the music of black urban rebels and the music of white urban rebels. Rage Against The Machine (1992), one of the most violent albums of the time, a worthy heir to MC5's homicidal fury, sustained seismic shocks after seismic shocks thanks to Tom Morello's guitar explosions (from Hendrix-ian glissandoes to Page-esque hard-rock riffs), Zack de la Rocha's visceral and frantic rapping and ultra-syncopated hail-like rhythms.

>raises social awareness
FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
IM GONNA GET THE COOKIES FROM THE COOKIE JAR
MOM'S GONNA FREAK
btw anyone who likes ratm is usually a flaming SJW
>>61017548
RATM is essentially Death Grips if it wasn't a retard screaming word salad into a microphone
>>61017635
and you're rebelling against a (not even that high) rating on some website.
It's a good album, stop crying.
I honestly can't think of a band with as much talent as Rage Against the Machine that's so horribly cringe inducing to listen to. What a waste of talent.
>>61017682
have you ever actually listened to the album
>SJW
Nice buzzwords.
rage against the machine's self-titled is a good album, but half of /mu/ treats music as a fashion accessory, and they don't want to be associated with works like it.
>>61017640
>>61017647
Their social commentary is so vague, it's embarrassing. I mean, even when their angst is focused on an actual "something", they single out that only blacks are victims of police brutality. Truly childish album that believes it's much wiser than it is.
its an amazing album
the only criticism ever leveled against it is the political nature of the album (the album is bad because i dislike the politics). it might be immature in some political respects, but all of the musicians are on the top of their game, theres no filler songs, and the production is great. i think the only people that have actually listened to this album and claim to hate it just feel guilty about going through a commie phase
>>61017791
it shouldn't really be surprising on a board full of edgy teenagers who think being a far right racist is cool.
>>61017647
Zach de la Rocha has retard-tier politics. If you've made it past high school and his causes don't make you cringe, I'm embarrassed for you.
>>61017670
that's a great album though
>>61017773
yeah, i'd agree with this. it's 'political' in the sense that fucking Paul Ryan loves them. you can almost always fill in the blank to be anything you want, as long as it's an authority of some type.
>>61017773
kill yourself
>>61017682
>cherrypicking lyrics
>>61017674
tom morello's guitar playing alone is experimental enough to be on par with those bands
add the fact that this album is the precursor for a whole genre (a shit genre, but still)
>>61017773
I actually agree with this
>>61017858
it's not what I believes in, it's how he expresses it, as the other anon said it's very vague most of the times but it's enough to get people interested in politics and it isn't as preachy as most singers entangled with politics
also, his delivery fits the album perfectly
>>61017791
this. if you actually care about music instead of political inclinations, ratm is a worthwhile album.
>>61017818
it is amazing how time has taken 'ironic racism' on the boards to 'deep, genuine racism' because new users didn't realize it was a joke. irony is dead, and dumb teenagers killed it
>>61017635
In that brand of music, RATM excels. Who else can you put them up against?
>>61017670
was going to post this
arcade fire fucking sucks
>>61017917
lol
RATM is good though.
This is coming from someone who mainly listens to classical and jazz.
I just turned 19, the thread
>FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
What did he mean by this?
>>61018029
find it out yourself you spineless cunt
>>61018029
I think it means he won't do something he doesn't morally agree with because a person in position of power told him to.
>>61017938
>isn't as preachy as most singers entangled with politics
He's a preachy loudmouth
>he listens to music for the politics
LMAO, who does this?

youre embarrassing
It's arguably the best sounding album of all time
>>61017631
Sigur ros described as a feelscore is the best part of this thread.
>>61017701
i dont even like death grips and you are also embarrassing
>>61017569
>>61017602
>>61017615
what do you "music experts" think is more fitting to be number 1 instead of OK Computer? hmm?
>>61018723
Probably something Can
>>61018723
Beethoven 9th
Should I listen to Rage Against the Machine?
>>61018754
Lmao
>>61018792
>Tips Fedora
>>61018723
yeezus
>>61018723
I'm not sure honestly, I find these top lists to be a waste of time. I just think Radiohead is above average alternative.
>>61018846
yeah they've got some good hits just dont take it too seriously
>>61018754
>>61018792
>>61018868

you're all offended by this shit because you're like 17 and you remember taking it seriously very recently
give it 5 years and you'll be able to enjoy albums like this without feeling bad that the lyrics don't exactly represent your politics
See within:

Has to be either the best or the worst. It's probably my all time favorite album and I still can't tell
>>61017773
What about when they protested Steve Forbes on SNL because of his flat tax proposition?
>>61019043
You realize SJW is meant to be derogatory, right? Maybe you agree generally with their leftist politics but unless you are a delusional, ignorant, undersexed liberal arts undergrad who thinks its okay to spend your free time trying to destroy the lives of people who disagree with politically via the internet, I don't think that's a label you want to apply to yourself.
>>61019315
don't police my self-determined labels shitlord
>>61019028
how is Pantera any less dumb
>this album isn't in the top 10
RYM is shit.
>>61017548
They also have mediocre alt rock album in the top 10.
>>61017965
>>61017759
Those are letters friends
so it's another bitch about RYM thread again?
>>61017548
albums with a lot of votes get pushed up the charts for some reason. but the ratings for the beatles and pink floyd albums are beyond me
>>61019823
>albums with a lot of votes get pushed up the charts for some reason.
Do you want to see charts dominated with modern classical music, power metal and live albums?
>>61019911
what is rym's infatuation with power metal desu
>>61018723
almost anything that isn't OK Computer because it's boring uninspired shit. I've seriously never understood why people like that god awful fucking album
>RYM is cancer
>/mu/ is cancer
>Music is cancer
I wish i was a happy top 40 pleb
>>61020202
but top 40 is music
>>61018723
Definitely Maybe
>>61018723
Kid A is even better than OK Computer. Dark Side deserves number one spot.
>>61017548
i know right its just kinda like early swans
>>61017759
Buzzword is a buzzword.
