Davey, that's an Epic review and R.I.P. to all those you've lost their lives.

'Wait For Me' is just too awesome, it has a massive chorus and was the first song to caught my eye.



'Make It Stop' has a quite nice vibe with quite nice lyrics.

Another highlight of the album can be "Satellite" or "Survivor's Guilt".

I Really love this LP.

P.S. I was never a fan of these guys untill this album.

Thanks Prince. It's interesting that this is the Rise Against album that has won you over. I wonder if you would now like some of their older stuff if you go back into their discography.

Definitely

oh wow daveyboy wrote a positive review about the new rise against album this is surprising

Album Rating: 4.0

If you like the more accessible sound, I'd go back from newest to oldest if I was you. First 'Appeal to Reason' & then 'The Sufferer & The Witness' & so on.



I'm glad to (not) surprise Spare.

Album Rating: 3.5

Wait For Me is awesome. I think the whole album is great, except for 'This Is Letting Go', which I really don't like.

Album Rating: 4.0

Ooh, we have the same rating HBFS, but appear to be coming from slightly different directions. 'Wait For Me' is just ok I think (although it could well be a grower), while I like 'This Is Letting Go'. From his blog post, Jom thinks the latter is the best song on the album.

Album Rating: 3.0

To me this was a step down from Appeal to Reason. It sounds slightly contrived (just like ATR) with less memorable songs. Excellent review as always, though, DaveyBoy. When I saw that summary on the front page I did a facepalm, which means you did a great job with the puns.

Feel like this will sound a lot like Appeal To Reason when I finally listen to it. Hopefully I'm wrong.

the puns in the summary dont even make sense

ugh not what I was hoping to read, nice review but if this is more down the appeal to reason path I probably won't bother with it.

Looks like they've gone mainstream, if they weren't already.

Album Rating: 2.5

AtR was them going mainstream Rough. this is just a continuation. /sigh.

the intro to this review manages to be even more horribly contrived and clumsy than RA's lyrics

Album Rating: 2.5

and am I the only fucking person who doesn't like Savior? I mean JEEZ. The song isn't even good.

Davey I'll never understand your infatuation with exclamation points... I think the only other time I see them in reviews are in users' firsts.

Rise Against is a disgusting band. This sounds bad.


... or am I just hearing what I want to hear?!!!!!

Don't worry davey, i got your back on this one

I actually can't follow the first two paragraphs of this review.

i still need to read it, but im sure there's tons of fanboy-isms throughout

Album Rating: 4.5

Nice review and very good album. To be honest I did not expect much from this because Appeal to Reason didn't really, uh, appeal to me. It sounded uninspired and boring except a couple of tracks.



But I can't stop listening to this. It's not as good as The Sufferer and the Witness or the Siren Song of the Counter Culture, but still very solid, catchy and heartfelt.
