About this album

Epic (1999) Released: 25 Oct 1999 12 tracks (45:10)
The Battle of Los Angeles is the third studio album by Rage Against the Machine. It was released on November 2, 1999, and over three years after their second studio album, Evil Empire. Between Evil Empire and Los Angeles, the band released a live album, titled Live & Rare. In 2003, the album was ranked number 426 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The song “Calm Like a Bomb” is featured in the credits of The Matrix Reloaded. The videos to “Sleep Now in the Fire” and “Testify” were directed by documentarian Michael Moore. “Testify” is also featured in the video game Rock Band 2. “Guerrilla Radio” is also available on Rock Band as DLC.

The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 selling 420,000 copies its first week. That week saw a busy CD release schedule. The album denied Mariah Carey’s highly anticipated album the chance to open at #1. “Guerrilla Radio” was featured in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, albeit heavily edited on the Nintendo 64 version. Both Time and Rolling Stone named it the Best Album of 1999. It was listed as #53 in SPIN Magazine’s 100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005.

The album cover art was an original artwork by the LA Street Phantom aka Joey Krebs aka Joel Jaramillo, a well-known Los Angeles artist who has exhibited at numerous galleries in Los Angeles, New York City and throughout the United States.
