The majority of this album consists of reconstituted hip-hop beats, wanna-be Sabbath stock riffs, lots of Zach de la Rocha preachiness/screams, many scratchy solos from Tom Morello, and the occasional cool noise or riff which blows by in two seconds. I am sure Tom Morello is a nice guy, and by the sounds of things here he definitely knows some tricks here and there, but stop trying to make your guitar sound like a turntable when it comes time to solo.
