Very happy to see this make the top 100.

On some occasions, this could be considered my favorite album of all time. The musicianship/creativity (especially on guitar, but the bass isn't too far behind), raw emotion, anti-establishment/dark America lyrics/near-marxist leanings... pretty much a recipe for a 90/100 album.

On other occasions, it's maybe not so deep as I'd like to think.

To think there was a time when these guys could tour with U2 and people wouldn't raise a brow... long gone are those days.

Definitely my fave Rage record. Sounded like nothing else when it first came out. At least to my ears.

Do you know what the best part of the first Matrix movie is? When "Wake Up" starts playing at the end.

This album woke a lot of people up in the early 90s, including me. I remember my pal Ben had the poster in his student bedroom. A striking image. The music was shit-hot too. Got the adrenaline going. Plus it was fun to mosh out to, on the indie disco dancefloor too. A very original band.
