IN NOVEMBER 1992 A DEBUT ALBUM DROPPED THAT I HAVE LEANED INTO HARD…SALES OF WHAT I DEEM A MASTERPIECE WERE INITIALLY SLOW BUT CAUGHT ITS STRIDE AND WENT PLATINUM A YEAR AND A HALF LATER ON THIS DATE AND EVENTUALLY WENT ON TO SELL OVER ONE MILLION COPIES  IN THE US AND OVER THREE MILLION WORLDWIDE AND WAS CERTIFIED TRIPLE PLATINUM IN 2000… 

THE SELF TITLED DEBUT? RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE…OBVIOUSLY A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS, ALSO A CRITICAL SUCCESS DRIVEN BY HEAVY RADIO PLAY OF THE SONG THAT CONTINUES TO HELP ME GET MY HEAD STRAIGHT WHEN I NEED IT MOST…A HEAVY DRIVING TRACK FEATURING ONLY 8 LINES OF LYRICS “KILLING IN THE NAME OF” IS IT WRONG THAT THIS SONG GIVES ME THE WARM FUZZIES? IF THAT’S WRONG I DON’T WANT TO BE RIGHT! TURN IT UP AND SHAKE OFF THE DAY’S CRAP! ~ROXY
