The Battle of Los Angeles (album)
}}
''The Battle of Los Angeles'' is the third studio album by American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine. It was released on November 2, 1999, 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''. This album is Rage Against the Machine's most recent album consisting of original material. ''The Battle of Los Angeles'' was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
==Concept==
The album was named for the Battle of Los Angeles which took place on February 25, 1942. ''The Battle of Los Angeles'' was heavily influenced by the novel ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' by George Orwell. "Testify", "Sleep Now in the Fire", "Voice of the Voiceless", among other songs, include direct quotes from the novel, and mention key Orwellian terms in the lyrics. "Voice of the Voiceless", a song referring to Mumia Abu Jamal, contains a quotation from the writings of Mao Zedong . Another Rage-Mumia-Mao connection can be seen in Mumia's paraphrased words from Mao's "power grows out of the barrel of a gun" when Mumia gave his court testimony: "It is America who has seized political power from the Indian (American ) race, not by God, not by Christianity, not by goodness, but by the barrel of a gun."
