Roll Right

The story behind

Rage Against the Machine recorded Roll Right in 1996, four years after their first album. The song lasts 4 minutes and 22 seconds, and is part of Evil Empire, an album released in April of that year. The title of the album, Evil Empire, was a term used at the time to describe the USSR, but the band took it as a criticism of the United States. The song Roll Right sounds like a direct protest, with a strong rhythm and lyrics that don't hold back. On Last.fm, it has over 1.5 million plays, and over 360 thousand users listen to it regularly. It's a piece that's never overlooked, and continues to sound powerful.
