· 3 pulledLike an expert bomb squad, Rage Against the Machine did little to upset their volatile fusion of Public Enemy polemics and Zeppelin-esque heft on their sophomore album.
Megaton mosh-pit strikes like 'Bulls on Parade' and 'Down Rodeo' delivered more of the earthquaking grooves and brain-scrambling guitar frequencies that powered the band's explosive 1992 debut.
Zack de la Rocha continued to spit out furious rhymes about the sort of topics (income inequality, the military-industrial complex) that no other '90s alt-rock star would touch.
