Guitar, bass, drums, vocals—the most basic and straightforward rock band format.

Rage Against the Machine forged an innovative, literally “alternative” rock that spawned countless imitators, yet none have ever surpassed the original, no matter how many decades pass.

Though they disbanded in 2000 and have reunited intermittently for live shows, they released only three original studio albums.

Even so, their level of completion is so extraordinary that it feels more than enough.

Just listening to the masterpiece Know Your Enemy—its mind-bending, technique-laden intro plunging into an explosive development with overwhelming tension that shakes the soul—gives you a grasp of their core musical identity, political stance, and position.

The track appears on their self-titled, absolutely monumental debut album released in 1992 and remains a staple of their live set.

The charismatic frontman Zack de la Rocha, shouting that fierce title “Know Your Enemy,” has a voice that never fails to make you straighten up whenever you hear it.

Rage’s songs are straightforwardly cool—of course you can enjoy them plenty just by listening—but understanding the lyrics reveals what the songs truly mean.

So by all means, dig into their words—which have not faded in the least in the present day—using translated lyrics and other resources.
