RENEGADES
Rage Against the Machine
(Sony)
This isn't any ordinary collection of covers knocked out to buy time. This politically vigorous rap 'n' rock band - which makes Limp Bizkit look even more limp than it already is - has selected songs with messages. Tunes by artists as varied as MC5, Devo, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and even Bruce Springsteen are transformed with an injection of Rage serum (adrenaline mixed with righteous anger) and torqued to ramming power. Target: All the cruel, greedy, racist little pigs in the world. It's hard-edged, gritty fare. You were expecting Christmas carols?
