Yes but if you look at everything they do, it definitely is not just an image. "Appeal to Reason" is sold in digipacks that are made of only recycled paper and vegetable inks, completely eco-friendly, so I mean...

Album Rating: 4.0

I don't agree to that, but that statement has been right quite a few times.

Album Rating: 3.0

Rise Against hasn't really done anything new or interesting in a few years and this album is the best proof. Nothing wrong with simple music but it's getting really generic and boring lately.

rating's down and may lower still, realized i only enjoy half the album at most =/

His voice sounds slightly different.

Album Rating: 3.5

I like this a good deal, probably a little more than Siren Song tbh. Savior is definitely my favorite song.

Album Rating: 3.5

This is still a solid Rise Against album, but considering what I think of the past Rise Against cataloge (unwraveling-4, rpm-5, siren song-4.5, tsaw-5), this is kind of weak. I agree with the thread on Savior being the best song on here.



If we are talking about Rise Against's best song, I would say Everchanging (either version). It's just a song I connect with on a personal level.This Message Edited On 10.09.08

There slowly regurgitating old ideas. But still its a solid album but not more then one song really sticks out for me

I keep listening to this over and over again and it's getting better and better. There are some really great tracks on this. I'm so close to giving it a 4.

'anybodies' should be 'anybody's', no?

tim mcilrath gives me a boner

as a semi-hardcore rise against fan i was a little dissapointed with this album after hearing re-education back in august. Some songs stand out such as hero of war (next swing life away), re-education, kotov syndrome, collapse, from heads unworthy, and the strength to go on. Other than these gems the rest was very mediocre. solid but not as good as siren.

Son of a bitch. Mid-tempo Rise Against is so damn boring. Fast and heavy. Its the only way to go for these guys.

probably a little more than Siren Song tbh

Did SAMCOREY just rattle off 6 highlight tracks from this album & not mention 'Savior'...??? Good God!

We should kill him.

I'm torn between a 3.5 and 4 for this. I like all the songs, but several feel like filler at times.

I still don't see why Hero of War is so bad - yeah it's not "Roadside" or "Swing Life Away" but it's not bad either.

Steve, once more we agree. I'm also torn between a 3.5 and 4, but with a leaning towards a 4. I also think 'Hero Of War' is good and may actually be worth releasing as a single just to get the band noticed.

I just secured great tickets to their March gig down under. Can't wait.

Pretty good album.
