RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE RENEGADES’ LP

LABEL: Epic
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 2018
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 2000
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP

While Rages first three albums were taut with unimpeachable rap-rock game-changers, 2000 covers set Renegades proved that the band also knew how to handle someone elses classic. You could even call it their deepest release, as it bounces from groove-fracked takes on MC5 and hardcore tributes to Minor Threat, to distortedly funky remodels of Cypress Hill and Rolling Stones singles, to an oddly tender and folky Devo revamp. A bizarre, but ultimately bangin studio swan song.
