Flores and his men scattered and Stockton reoccupied the city of Los Angeles on Jan. 10, 1847, with Gillespie raising the American flag over the same quarters he was forced to abandon four months earlier.

The Battle of Los Angeles offers no change lyrically from Rage's two previous albums: There are no love songs, just abused alter boys; no cries of alienation, just calls to arms for peasant Mexican rebels.

 Review: Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile and Rage Against the Machine's The Battle of Los Angeles
The Battle of Los Angeles (another oh-so-humble album title) overpowers you like The Fragile, but it's not the length that gets you, it's the fire-and-brimstone aggression.
Highly commendable influences indeed; nevertheless, as good as The Battle of Los Angeles can be, look at those other groups' very finest albums and you realize where (blasphemy!) Rage could improve in some areas.
The Battle of Los Angeles may represent their highwater mark thus far, but it doesn't suggest where else they can take their particular brand of political fervor.
