Rage Against the Machine is the debut album by rock band Rage Against the Machine, released November 3, 1992. As one of the first full-length fusions of the widely disparate genres, Rage Against the Machine is a landmark album, setting the stage for the late-1990s boom in more pop-oriented fusions like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park; moreover, the album set itself apart from those that came after it with its uncompromising political commentary. The songs on Rage Against the Machine tend to feature political mantras with the vocals delivered in a style similar that of a hip hop artist.

The album cover (at right) featured the controversial photograph of Thích Quảng Đức self-immolating in protest of the Buddhist treatment under the South Vietnam government.

The album peaked at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, and at #45 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

"Wake Up" is featured in the credits of The Matrix and "Killing In The Name" is featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

In 2001 Q magazine named Rage Against the Machine as one of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.
