Our Take

As I plunged into the sonic depths of Tom Morello's latest offering, "The Atlas Underground," I couldn't help but feel like I was being taken on a wild rollercoaster ride through a futuristic dystopian landscape. The album is a cacophony of genres, blending rock, electronic, and hip-hop elements with Morello's signature guitar wizardry.

One standout track, "Every Step That I Take," featuring Portugal. The Man and Whethan, is a haunting anthem that perfectly captures the angst and uncertainty of our current times. Morello's guitar work is as blistering as ever, slicing through the mix like a hot knife through butter.

The collaborations on this album are truly a sight to behold, with artists like Marcus Mumford, Big Boi, and Killer Mike lending their talents to create a powerful and eclectic sound. Each track feels like a unique journey, showcasing Morello's ability to push boundaries and defy genre conventions.

However, there are moments on "The Atlas Underground" where the experimentation feels a bit forced, with some tracks veering into overly chaotic territory. That being said, Morello's fearless approach to music-making is commendable, and there's no denying the sheer ambition and creativity on display here.

In conclusion, "The Atlas Underground" is a bold and ambitious statement from a musical visionary, showcasing Morello's unrivalled talent and fearless spirit. While not without its flaws, this album is a thrilling and electrifying listen that is sure to captivate fans old and new. Get ready to be taken on a wild ride through the underground with Tom Morello at the helm.

About the artist

Tom Morello

Tom Morello – the formidable guitarist known for his shredding skills, political activism, and signature bucket hat – is a true rock icon. With a career spanning over three decades, Morello has established himself as not only a virtuoso musician but also a vocal advocate for social justice. Born in Harlem, New York, Morello first gained fame as the guitarist for the influential band Rage Against the Machine in the early 1990s. His unconventional playing style, which incorporates elements of metal, funk, and even hip-hop, helped redefine the sound of rock music and inspired a generation of guitarists. After Rage Against the Machine disbanded in 2000, Morello went on to form the supergroup Audioslave with former members of Soundgarden. The band's self-titled debut album was a commercial success, with hits like "Cochise" and "Like a Stone" showcasing Morello's versatility as a musician. In addition to his work with various bands, Morello has also released several solo albums under the moniker The Nightwatchman, featuring politically-charged folk songs that reflect his commitment to social causes. But perhaps Morello's most impressive feat is his collaboration with Bruce Springsteen in the supergroup Prophets of Rage. The band, which also includes members of Public Enemy and Cypress Hill, combines the fiery energy of Rage Against the Machine with the timeless appeal of Springsteen's classic rock sound. With his distinctive sound, political fervour, and undeniable talent, Tom Morello continues to cement his legacy as one of the most influential figures in rock music today. So grab your bucket hat, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away by the one and only Tom Morello.
