When I was growing up, my parents were pretty strict. The thing they were most strict about was music. Until I was 16, I wasn’t allowed to buy music, and I wasn’t allowed to watch MuchMusic. The summer I turned 16 I had a job. I had my own money. And I was living away from home. In my infinite wisdom, I went to the only record shop in the city town community I was in, and bought Evil Empire. I had managed to sneak in some music video time while my parents were out one night and heard Bulls on Parade. My little mind was blown. I listened to it non-stop for a long time. I love all of the Rage albums, but Evil Empire was the biggest impact for me. It was heavy, and funky, and it was the album with the most rap as far as I remember. I listened to it so much, certain phrases will trigger a song on repeat for hours.

Revisit this. Do yourself a favour. The Bulls are on Parade.
