"Words can't describe how upset I am after listening to this album. As a huge ratm fan it hurts me that people let these amature attempts of copying one of the most influential bands of the decade. I wouldn't mind if they made a good job of it but this is ambarresses me so God only knows how Rage feel about it. For a start no-one can play the riffs as well as tom morello, so why try. Why not try and change a little or something. Zack's voice is completly unique and trying to mimic it is almost impossible. I donnot recommend this album to anyone who knows the quality of rage, and am very dissapionted with this outcome. What sort of record company lets these underbreeds into the studio. I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT A STAR BUT HAD NO CHOICE"
Horrible cover

"I can understand a band wanting to pay tribute, but what the hell was the label thinking????? This band sounds like they should be on the soundtrack to an ARMY commercial. No direspect, but this IS disrespect to RATM. A curse on anyone who buys this album!!!!!!"
A bad tribute to one of the greatest bands in the world.

"Rage Against the Machine are an awesome band. They are a very powerful band, with powerful lyrics and a powerful sound. So you would think they might get a good tribute, right? Nope, they don't. What they get is a horrible tribute by ameteurs(who the hell are the 'Renegadez of Funk?'). They are some rock band. But why don't they mix up different styles of music to Rage Against the Machine songs? Like some punk, rap... Anything that will be a little interesting that this garbage. Some of the songs on here are not even Rage Against the Machine songs. Yeah, they were on the 'Renegades' album, but those were only covers of songs from Rage Against the Machine's favorite artists and songs. Maybe if a LOT more effort was put into this it would be worth buying... or at least useful. Instead, its a worthless tribute that will be forgotten in time(even though its practically forgotten now...)."
Lost for words...

"I am staggered. I have no idea how or why this album ever got published. It defies all common sense. Why would RATM ever let anyone sign off on such a pathetic collection of soul-less music? Maybe to sell more of the 'real' stuff?
Please, avoid this album. Why the people performing on it had to waste their time when they could be learning how to perform is beyond me..."
