You could just about make a legitimate claim that RAFI's Revenge is the defining Asian Dub Foundation album. It's certainly their most politically charged - "Free Satpal Ram" (about Satpal Ram, the Asian man imprisoned for murder in an allegedly racist trial) and "Naxalite" (about the Indian communist movement) are the highlights, and they're two of the most angry songs in this band's catalogue. Yet, as angry and intelligent as the sentiments are, that fails to translate to the music, which is often far too basic and boring to truly carry the message. Later ADF albums would show that at their best, there is simply no band that can match them for political fury. Here, that potential is only hinted at. One only for fans.

This used to be my favorite album. It surely has a unique sound, combining drum and bass, rap, world music samples and punk guitars. There are so many good songs here, but I would say that Naxalite and Culture Move are the best songs on the album.
