This was the first album of theirs I got into. Some days I feel like it might even be their best. "Testify", "Mic Check", and "Maria" are outstanding.

The thing with RATM is that Morello's guitar work seems to carry every song. Not saying the rest is bad, just outweighed. With Battle of LA, it's slightly different, doesn't seem so reliant on big heavy guitar riffs all the time.
I still can't decide which of Rage's albums I like definitively best though.

Best tracks: Testify, Guerrilla Radio, Sleep Now in the Fire, War Within a Breath

To this day I can't think of Guerrilla Radio without picturing this in my mind.

I've been playing this via emulator for the past 3 months, so addictive!

Really great album, my second favourite of theirs, spent a long time in my top 100.

So many great songs on here. "Testify" is hands down my favorite RATM song.

It's excellent. I like it almost as much as their debut.

And "Sleep Now In The Fire is one of them perfect songs.
