I would say most people will rate this 0.5 above what they rated 'Appeal To Reason', although I'm most likely going to go the opposite way.

Album Rating: 3.5

"So, after one listen to this album I think it's worse then Appeal to Reason, and I'm a big fan, in fact they're by far my favourite band, but I really don't like it their new sound, it's too slow, the song are too long, and are kinda boring. I don't feel the same anger, and the same energy that made RA such a great, unique band."



It's almost like they sold out or something.

I've just said that I don't think they've "sold out". Pfff, such an overused expression, I really
don't think we should judge, or accuse a band of selling out, when we don't have any proof. I just
said that I don't like their new sound as much as the old one.
You can accuse bands like Green Day of "selling out", because there is obvious, they are all over MTV,
they are trying to make money out of anything that sells, like video games, movies, clothes etc.
That's selling out. Trying to make as much money as you can by selling your brand. I don't see that in
RA. They are still humble guys, and they haven't got tons of money, and aren't showing off with
anything.

I don't like the term either. I was just trying to bait you into typing a few more paragraphs for me to say tl;dr to.

Oh, ok.

one of the few bands that are making good quality music.

Album Rating: 2.5

the two songs i heard sound like every other rise against song ever (except that one about pissing on his hands)



actual rating: 3

Album Rating: 3.5

I heard the album a couple of times myself. It's pretty damn awesome I think. One of my favorite 2011 releases so far.

This band was the shit when I was in high school

lmao

Dude you can laugh as much as you want, but let's face it RA music is way above the shit played on
radios or music channels, you don't like this band, fine, but the fact is that everyone understands
something else by "good music".
For instance I like Sick of it all, Rise Against, punk or hardcore in general, but if I give this
kind of music to someone that listens to pop or dance/trance he/she will say this is a bunch of
crap, because that person can't stand the shouts and screams and the loud noise.
Is as simple as that. Are Justin Bieber and Hannah Montana playing good music or bad music ? I don't
know, personally I find it crap, but it seems others think differently. You get my point ?

Seriously there's no need for sarcasm. "we sputnikers", is that some sort of "royal rank" or what ? Because you seem so proud of yourself by saying that.
So you think you are better then me because you've like 14000 posts ? Lol


You do realize that Rise Against has had plenty of songs on the radio, right?

Oh really ? On what radio, in what country ?
I can assure you that most of the radio channels in my country don't play such music. It's like dance and pop all day long + some 70's and 80's "pop hits".
And what are you saying that if this band has a song on a radio channel it's instant crap or what ?

I didn't post here to start a fight, or to offend so many "sputnikers", it's just my opinion/view towards music in general.
Well it seems this is like some sort of "country club" and I'm just an "unwelcomed guest".

It's a matter of taste anyway, everyone has the right to like or dislike a band or music genre. PERIOD.

Sorry for not being a music forum snob. My apologies your "highness".

I'm not gonna fight or argue with any of you, that's not my goal.Bye.

Then stop typing 3 paragraph responses

areyou just fucking stupid

Then stop typing 3 paragraph responses

Sorry bad habit. It seems you have some sort of problem with me writing too much.Oh well, don't worry this is my last post here.I'm not gonna waste my life posting comments on a site and arguing with a bunch of strangers with no life on such a subjective thing as music.
