Rage Against The Machine is back playing reunion shows but whether or not this will ever lead to a new album is still open for debate. In the meantime, fans of angry lyrics and Morello’s funkmetal riffage can relax to the not so soothing tunes of Street Sweeper Social Club, a new band Morello started along with Boots Riley (one of the rhymesayers in The Coup).
While the album opens strong enough with “Fight! Smash! Win!” and “100 Little Curses”, the rest of the songs remind us that both of them have already been active in bands with songs more memorable than “Somewhere In The World It’s Midnight”. But it’s not because this is not a classic album, that it’s any less enjoyable!
Score: 7 out of 10
