When I first heard this album back in 1993, I just did not like it. Repeating the same lyric over and over at the end of each song in every song, and not at all enjoyable listening. But over the years this record has grown on me considerably. Now viewed as kick-starting the rap-rock fusion, it cannot be understated just how important RATM have become. Every song on the fierce debut is focused and undiluted by commercialism. Bombtrack is a seriously rockin' track as is Bullet In The Head. This is still the best RATM release, although I still love the other two albums.
