It's also the least political songs like 'Toxic' and 'Black Cloud' have nothing to do with the EPA. septet is the most hip-hopped act on the MTV bill. Shifty Shellshock and co-producer Epic Mazur trade rock and rap vocals over the surging metal-hop of Crazy Town's 'The Gift of Game.' With a full-time DJ in its lineup, this L.A. Still, it seems likely that the Dope brothers have read a lot less Noam Chomsky than Rage's Zack de la Rocha. Still, the mostly unquotable lyrics to songs like 'Sick' and 'America the Pitiful' are more or less political. Unlike most punk-hop vocalists, Edsel takes his style more from death-metal than rap he delivers his screeds in a painfully guttural growl. This New York quintet's debut, 'Felons and Revolutionaries,' opens with a blast at 'Pig Society': 'Sick of politicians and politics and prisons/ Lying and running my life,' barks frontman Edsel Dope, a self-professed former drug dealer who founded the band with his brother Simon. wants to make nice, Dope is entirely prepared to be nasty. Yet such songs as 'Set Your Eyes to Zion' and 'Southtown' have a soft center: As frontman Sonny attests in the latter, 'Never will it drive me to hate.' Southtown is the predominantly Chicano neighborhood that borders Tijuana, and growing up there has hardened the group's edge. raps and rocks in a vigorous but commonplace manner. The quartet's major-label debut, 'The Fundamental Elements of Southtown,' drops Bob Marley refrains and makes common cause with U2 by covering that band's 'Bullet the Blue Sky.' Mostly, though, P.O.D. (Payable on Death) lubricates its Machinery with reggae and Christianity. That doesn't seem to have discouraged the bands on MTV's current 'Return of the Rock' tour, though. It's true that Rage is one of the few current bands to simultaneously achieve commercial appeal, critical acceptance and political consciousness, but its synthesis of rap, punk and metal is not endlessly reworkable.

En 2003, le titre sera repris par le groupe de métal Sepultura sur son album Roorback. Les paroles parlent de l'impérialisme américain et du racisme. Le son lourd et nerveux rappelle Led Zeppelin, assumé et revendiqué par le groupe. Quand il revient en Irlande pour l'enregistrement de The Joshua Tree, Bono demande à The Edge : « de mettre du Salvador dans son ampli ». Sur place, ils constatent la brutalité de la dictature militaire soutenue par les États-Unis, notamment par les attaques d'avions F16 sur les villages. Cette chanson tire son origine d'une visite de Bono et de sa femme Alison Stewart au Salvador à l'automne 1986.
