Tom Morello’s *Everyone Gets Everything They Want* is presented as his first solo rock album, combining politically charged lyrics with the aggressive guitar sound associated with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. The review argues that Morello remains committed to protest music and offers intelligent, energetic criticism of the Trump-era political climate, but questions whether his revolutionary message still feels fresh, dangerous or capable of reaching a broad audience.

The album is Morello’s 22nd career release by his own count, and features collaborations with Serj Tankian, Kneecap and Beartooth, as well as contributions from his 15-year-old son Roman. The review highlights tracks such as ‘Soldier in the Army of Love’, while placing the record in the context of Morello’s long history of political activism, his defence of working within the major-label system and his divided reception after accepting Rage Against the Machine’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
