I like this album a lot; very high energy and catchy. Not instricially deep stuff, but it doesn't need to be. Plus, the production is great due to the major label signing. I like the singer's voice too, it's very gritty.



The only thing would be that they kinda ape other bands alot (ie. AFI, refused, etc)

[quote=]Like what?[/quote]



Rebellion, politics, love lost, feeling empty on the inside.



[quote=]This sentence just doesn't make sense.[/quote]



Yes it does. It means that I don't know entirely what the lyrics are and I enjoy the song, but when I read the booklet and see what the lyrics actually are, I like the subject matter causing me to like it more.



:angry: You didn't have to neg the review.

Actually Kripes, Rise Against is a band whose lyrics are rather abstruse. And besides, if this were true you should have mentioned them in your review instead of using the cliché phrase "that many people can relate to." That's just a cop out.



By the way, that sentence is just grammatically incorrect.



That's what kills this review. Clichéd writing and grammatical errors. That and you don't say much that isn't known to somebody with at least a vague understanding of Rise Against. So yes, I did have to neg your review.

I'm going to edit that right now and change it to where I talk about the lyrics more instead of using a "cop out" like you say I did because I didn't mean for it to be like that.

There, I edited that paragraph you were talking about and added some stuff about the lyrics I didn't mention before throughout the paragraph.



Is it an improvement?



Also, I will now look for the grammar errors you spoke of.

Well dude, it's not just that things need to be grammatically immaculate. The thing also has to be well-written, which doesn't just come by fixing little technical errors.

Review edited. I tried to catch my grammar errors, I'm sure there are still some, and I need to re-write bits, but this is good for now.

nice review, i love rise against, this is right up there with RPM, and its better than the unraveling, which i would also give a 5 to.

Cool, man. Thanks alot. This is forever a classic to me. It's so accesible, the last song has grown on me now too. It had been the only song that was below excellent quality to me before.

That review was awesome. Surprisingly, I liked this better than RPM, (I thought To The Core and Dead Ringer brought it down). I completely agree with your opinions.



Rise Against for life.

The worst thing the band could've done is put "Swing Life Away" as the single. It would attract Jack Johnson types, and when they listen to the cd itself they'll probably throw holy water at it because of its heathen.

Good review, it expresses my thoughts for the album, though I don't think it's quite a classic.

Ugh... my friend gave me this CD to listen to and I just couldn't stand it. Then again, I can't stand punk rock other than London Calling and the New York Dolls.
Good review, though
