Track List:
0:00-1:40 - "I'm As Mad As Hell" Speech from 'Network' 1976 - Sums up the themes of the album. We're all as mad as hell and it's time our thoughts are heard.
1:40-5:18 - Twisted Sister - 'We're Not Gonna Take It' - Flows on from the speech well in my opinion, and carries the same general message. We're tired of just doing what we're told.
5:18-10:35 - Rage Against The Machine - 'Killing In The Name' - One of the most well-known modern punk bands playing one of their most famous songs. Need I say more?
10:35-14:01 - Dead Kennedys - 'California Uber Alles' - A dystopian image of a fascist California and the dangers of fascism.
14:01-17:19 - Sex Pistols - 'God Save The Queen' - The ultimate British Anarchy/Punk soundtrack. God save the Queen!
17:19-20:46 - David Bowie - '1984' - Another look at a scarily realistic fascist future. Based on the classic book, '1984' by George Orwell.
20:46-22:50 - The Clash - 'White Riot' - Another great British punk band playing one of their most famous tracks. A call to arms for the people to riot.
22:50-25:19 - Creedence Clearwater Revival - 'Fortunate Son' (Something went wrong with the MP3 meaning that this song comes out speeded up on the mix tape, making it strangely comical. I'm going to reupload to fix this.) - One of the most famous anti-war songs of the 20th Century. Brings up issues of class during the Vietnam War. The silver spoons sit at home as the wooden spoons fight and die 'for their freedom'.
25:19-31:36 - Crass - 'Bloody Revolution' - Yet another British Punk band, though this time they're a little bit less well known. A song that mocks the idea of a violent revolution, and how violence can't achieve what they want.
31:36-35:29 - Otep - 'Rise, Rebel, Resist' - The final track on the mix tape is a violent rap/metal track which simply calls for us all to "Rise, rebel, resist." Simple, but effective.
