^ really? It's the only cd I own to be honest. I heard them at bars, and friends'houses, that's how IO got to know them. But I havem't bene keeping track. Any bad song reccomandations so I can hear for myself? ^^

On their live cd their cover of 'Kick Out The Jams' is pretty rubbish, and i load of songs like 'Bombtrack' and 'Sleep Now In The Fire' fall flat.

I have their first album and The Battle Of Los Angeles, and its pretty hard to fault them anywhere, apart from 'Mic Check', 'Fistful Of Steel' and 'Township Rebellion'.

Oh, I thought you meant songs they brought out later. -feels stupid-

**Piss Me Off** · 07-06-2006, 05:01 AM

Pardon moi for the mistake, naa 'Live at the Olympic Auditorium' is the last thing thats been released by them, and it was after they broke up anyway.

s/t and The Battle of Los Angeles are 2 wonderful albums but, Evil Empire and Renegades suck.

MoonlitSunshine · 07-06-2006, 07:25 AM

Ohhh I dunno about that!!

I liked Renegades, until I lost it. Bear in mind every song on it is a cover.

Evil empire has its songs. Admittedly it's not as good as S/t or Battle of LA, but those are two mazing albums, so it would be unfair to say that's it's crap because it's not as good as they are.

As for Audioslave, I wouldn't say they're better or worse than Rage; They're different. i like Soundgarden as well, and Audioslave is quite literally a mix of the two, and I like that mix.

I think that LA is their best but thats just my opinion, I always liked Guerilla Radio from Tony Hawks 2

I Like Battle Of Los Angeles but I also think that their S/T had a lot of good stuff on it.

Live at The Garnd Olympic Auditorium was probably the most disappointing purchase I made that year. It just didn't live up to anywhere my expectations.

Good Band though.

Self Titled was a Bohemeth of an album. Not one crap song.

The other 3 had their moments. None of them were as consistant as the first but still good. Renegades was a pretty decent effort for a covers album. BoLA has some sweet tracks, some I wasn't too into, and the same for Evil Empire.
