Rage Against the Machine's third album arrived in 1999 like a battering ram — tighter and more urgent than anything they'd done before. Produced with Brendan O'Brien, The Battle of Los Angeles distilled the band's fury into some of their most focused songs, earning Grammy wins, year-end album honors from both Time and Rolling Stone, and multi-platinum status across multiple countries. It was also their last studio album before their original breakup, which gives it a weight that only deepens with time.
This 2022 reissue is the US distributed pressing carrying the 25 Madison Avenue, New York address — a 180gm Audiophile Black vinyl repress for fans who want a clean, playable copy of the catalog staple without chasing down original pressings.
