zzzz Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Anybody check out the new Prophets of Rage album? (It's the new band with the Rage Against The Machine dudes + B-real/Chuck D). F'ing love it, so many RATM vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This burn loses all credibility when you are on a Blink-182 website, a band whose hits have been featured on Kidz Bop albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says "Fuck Capitalism!" like a major label release sold at every Wal-Mart, 24/7, 365 days a year! At least Blink is honest about it.

Do yourselves a favour: hell fucking yes dude! portrait of a legend is so amazing... a shame he died so young, would've amazing to see where he could've gone, but what he left is still pretty rad. i always get chills at the last moments of the album... change is a landmark, then it goes back to where it all began, as though sam is coming home or something, back to "jesus gave me water". then there's the hidden final track, where he gets asked what soul is by a radio DJ. the CD edition has it ending at "sam cooke's yours, he'll never grow old," which is a really haunting way to end it. it's a great final summation on his life and career. idk if the digital version has that track, and i know the recent vinyl reissue has a longer snippet of that radio conversation, which, while interesting, doesn't give me that same haunting vibe, which i appreciated i know i've already written a lot, but if you love sam cooke, i'd recommend live at the harlem square club, 1963. it's a damn masterpiece 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know there's some love here for this man. I remember perfectly well when this compilation came out. It blew my mind, and still does it today. Is one of those albums you preserve as if it was gold. Is like it has somehing really seminal. They are only a few that are able to grab you like this. I remember too a documentary about him? Maybe? I don't know now. Anyway, that was a loss, for sure. Great talented musicians died back in that period... 50s and 60s, too young. I don't know what he would become if he lived more. Maybe he'd follow a similar route as The Temptations. For some reason, and although they are different artists, in my mind exist some kind of connection between Sam and The Temtptations. I have the iTunes version of the record. That hidden snippet is only 31 seconds long. So I'm guessing is the original snippet, not the longer one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
