I used to listen to the band Muse a lot in high school. I was one of those quiet but rebellious types, so their music really resonated with me. As I got older and started my corporate career, the political messaging in their music, especially in their most recent album, felt a little too strong.
I am ready for it now.
If you’re feeling rage right now, like many of us are, I highly recommend listening to the entire “Will of the People” album by Muse. Really listen to it. Put on your headphones like we used to back in the day and take it all in.
Music has become background noise for me in my 30s, but I think it’s time to bring it back into focus.
Got any songs or albums you’d recommend with similar themes?
Nobody said System? Maybe I missed it. Toxicity the album. Individual tracks: Prison Song, Deer Dance, BYOB.
I’ve been playing Mr. Jack from Steal This Album! on repeat
Fuck you, Pig!
I’m partial to Highway Song, as far as Steal This Album goes.
Solid rec. System is the band for this. Prison System and Deer Dance have been up there with my favorite songs since the first time I heard the album.
All research and successful drug policies show that treatment should be increased, and law enforcement decreased, while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences.
BYOB is off Mezmerize, though.
For sure. Just saying Toxicity is good and individually, BYOB.
Expedition 33 soundtrack. I don’t wanna know nothing about reality half of the time.
Rage against the machine, all of them, can’t miss
Dieselboy - The Dungeonmaster’s Guide
Obsolete by Fear Factory
It’s a concept album that involves fighting against a totalitarian police state that subjugates humans to the machines they created.
It also has an awesome “Cars” cover for whenever you’re feeling good.
I was there with you until “Cars”. That’s my problem, though.
To the Wilder by Woodkid.
Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder
Rage against the machine, Dropkick Murphys, NOFX
Here are a few:
Fen - Monuments to Absence (post-black metal)
GY!BE - NO TITLE (post-rock)
Ashenspire - Hostile Architecture (avant-garde black metal)
A Silver Mt Zion - this is our punk rock… (Post-rock)
Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero. Christofascism and the apocalypse. Still relevant almost 20 years later.
This one is perfect, from first to last track.
holy shit i love this album. every track perfectly woven into the tapestry.
There’s a handful of Audioslave tracks that could work. Going to listen to them shortly, I’ll mention some specific tracks. Definitely my favorite rock band of all time. RIP Chris.
Looking for justice? Seek out a Headhunter.
Check out the album titled The Holy Bible by The Manic Street Preachers.
Post what you’re listening to on !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online IMO.
Germany has many great punk bands. Fahnenflucht, Slime, Pascow, Terrorgruppe, WIZO, Fucking Angry, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, HASS… so many great bands. I could go on. lol
