The new stuff was surprisingly strong (from my perspective). Satellite and Make it Stop were great, but the best bit from the new songs was the bridge of Help is on the Way. Everyone went crazy screaming 'Right here! Right here!' - awesome moment.

Album Rating: 4.0

Ahhh, that word & Rise Against: MOMENT. They know how to create sensational moments.



Any pre-song preaching with 'Make It Stop'?

this is good and thats about it for me.

Album Rating: 3.5

Agreed. (re:moments)



No but we were reciting the names and their ages etc like in the video, which was pretty funny. The preaching came in the encore.

"The preaching came in the encore."



Last question... What did they preach about? Environment, veganism, cuddle your friends, all of the above?

Album Rating: 3.5

Hmm.. first it was about how music isn't just entertainment and it's a way of life blablabla and then there was stuff about some organization that obviously does something good but I can't remember exactly what it was. Then they played Savior and shit got crazy.

It's more like a 3 though. It's good, it's just not great.

after the first two songs the album is really good though. like a slightly poppier, more recycled sufferer, which I'm ok with. sort of.

"a slightly poppier, more recycled sufferer"



I don't necessarily disagree with that. Then again, I'd try to recycle a 5 rated album too.

I don't care what you say about "Make it Stop", a lot of that stuff's real. Okay, what is so bad about the video? Again, the message is the key here. It's what Rise Against is all about. Making a stand against an issue and fighting it!



I've seen terrible things happen to people (not just LGBT) for being different, including one of my best friends. I remember those moments every single time I watch this video. It hit me hard, to be honest. Rise Against did a great thing teaming up with IGBP, and the video is practically saving lives, and I'm not exaggerating one bit.



On a different note, finally saw them at Summerfest on the 3rd. Greatest night of my life! My life would have been complete if they would have played "Paper Wings", though :/ Guys, they had me jumping around and screaming my lungs out way off to the side, behind an ATM (couldn't get in the pit ), if that helps tell you how awesome it was!
