Editorial Review: Product Description: One Day As A Lion is the creation of musical comrades Zack De La Rocha & Jon Theodore. This is music about space - the space between friends and collaborators where ideas form; the space in a song where the tension builds waiting for the next wave of sound; the space in the corners of the recording studio (Sinatra's old room at Ocean Way) where the sound gathers to fade and die. One Day As A Lion worked hard to capture that space on tape, unadulterated, unmolested, from heart to hand to skins to mics to tape to speaker to ear. The result, someone said, sounds like Led Zep meets Dr. Dre. Amazon.com: After almost a decade of speculative anticipation on the part of his fans, Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de la Rocha finally returns to the studio, with former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. It’s been a long wait, but if anything, the machine’s sway has only grown more insidious, and de la Rocha rises to meet it as if he hadn’t missed a beat. RATM fans will find all the familiar sonic and lyrical calling cards here, but One Day as a Lion is a mimeograph of neither contributor’s flagship band. "If You Fear Dying" and opener "Wild International" highlight this five-song, 20-minute set. Sharing nearly synchronized leading riffs, the two songs also take similar liberties with religious taboo: "I target more heads than a priest Ash Wednesday" ("If You Fear Dying"); "I’m like a nail stuck in the wrist of their Christmas" ("Wild International"). In "Ocean View"--a heart-breaking, impressionist portrayal of the PATRIOT Act’s capacity for enabling new twists on the old story of racial profiling--de la Rocha’s wailing chorus glides atop a merciless cascade of thunderous drums. For those who follow either of these guys, everything here merits sustained attention. More generally, for those who like their protest music hard, loud, and in small doses, One Day as a Lion is king for a day, at least. --Jason Kirk Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great!i've waited a long time for Zach to release new music and this is great! Rating:  - Zack De LaRochaZack still has the fire but was not sure of the message, I am a fan of RATM so I would always support Zack and his music. I enjoyed track one and three but if it wa anyone else I would not have bought. It was the same with Night Watchman of Tom Morrello from RATM but that was on the Dylan side of music. Rating:  - Right on courseThe re-emergence of Zack de la Rocha has been something I have kept close track to. From the work on In the Møde to Saul Williams to the work with DJ Shadow, Zack has laid low since the dividing of Rage Against the Machine 8 years ago. While I could continue to go on a personal note and discuss how important Rage and Zack were to my budding musical ears, this review will focus more on the music and the work of two important talents. De La Rocha's talents have always been understated but publicly acclaimed, always capable of a line or two that never leaves your head. Jon Theodore has always been considered one of the best drummers yet this improvised blend of rock and hip hop speaks volumes to how even in simplicity, complexity can be attained. ... Read More: Rating: - Thoughts from BaltiI think this is fantastic from beginning to end. The more I listen the better each tract becomes. I can of course hear some RATM, but this is something new. Zac's pairing with Jon Phillip was an excellent choice. We knew the vacals would be great, but the drums add an element that is beyond RATM. I just feel sorry for Mars Volta. Their best assets has moved on to bigget and better things!!! Rating: - if you like RATM you'll like thisSounds very similar to Rage. Then again, a lot of "side projects" by the lead singer sound the same just because of the familiar voice so take it with a grain of salt. Good stuff. Too bad it's only 5 songs! Hopefully more to come. |
