Análisis (en inglés) - :
Rush released after the late-2000 split between {$Zack de la Rocha} and the rest of {$Rage Against the Machine}, the covers album {^Renegades} salutes the band's musical and philosophical roots, ranging from the old-school Bronx to the hard-rockin' Motor City to protest-central Greenwich Village to gangsta-ridden L.A. As could be expected, the set works best when the group focuses on material from its most recent forebears: rappers and hardcore bands. Indeed, {^Renegades} begins with a pair of powerful hip-hop covers -- {$Eric B & Rakim}'s {&"Microphone Fiend"} and {$Volume 10}'s {&"Pistol Grip Pump"} -- that spotlight {$Rage}'s immense strengths: {$Tom Morello}'s clean, heavy riffing and vocalist {$de la Rocha}'s finely tuned spray of vitriol, just this side of self-righteous. Another hip-hop blast (and the one closest to home), {$Cypress Hill}'s {&"How I Could Just Kill a Man,"} is even more devastating, an easy pick for the highlight of the album. Listeners familiar with the originals, however, may have trouble with {$Rage}'s covers of {$EPMD}'s {&"I'm Housin',"} {$the Stones}' {&"Street Fighting Man,"} and {$Dylan}'s {&"Maggie's Farm,"} a trio of original versions whose anger and emotion were conveyed more in the lyrics than the performances. Still, drummer {$Brad Wilk} sets an appropriately frenetic hardcore tempo for the excellent version of {$Minor Threat}'s {&"In My Eyes,"} and {$de la Rocha} stretches out well on {$the MC5}'s {&"Kick Out the Jams."} With just a bare few excepions, {^Renegades} works well, in part because {$Rage Against the Machine} is both smart enough to change very little and talented enough to make the songs its own. [The Australian release adds two bonus tracks -- live recordings of {&"Kick Out the Jams"} and {&"How I Could Just Kill a Man"} -- that are hidden tracks on the standard release.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
