| Rise Against ranked
Combining popular opinions and my own opinions. Taking no prisoners here. | | 1 |  | Rise Against
Revolutions per Minute
RPM is the quintessential RA album. It is everything they wanted to be; a perfect display of their influences yet so remarkably original, emotional, and melodic. The activism that drives the band is not lost, neither is it overdone. | | 2 |  | Rise Against
Siren Song of the Counter Culture
Rise took the rawness of "RPM" and refined it to create a more mainstream accessible yet still just as hardcore and emotional album. The only reason this falls short of the top slot is that it contains 1-2 filler tracks, whereas everything on RPM is pristine. | | 3 |  | Rise Against
The Sufferer and the Witness
Rise Against delivers their most critically acclaimed album with "Sufferer", but a few dud songs and a slightly disappointing departure from their roots weigh this album down. "Prayer Of the Refugee" is among the lousy tracks, but "Survive" and "Worth Dying For" are prime. | | 4 |  | Rise Against
The Black Market
After two subpar performances, RA proves they're not done with TBM. Tim's vocals are less polished, more raspy and the lyrics are quite possibly the strongest yet, barring a few meaningless hooks. This album is catchy yet punky and captures perfectly what the band wants to accomplish with political punk being on a mainstream level. Not quite a return to form, but we get a glimpse of their old hardcore roots with "The Eco-Terrorist In Me". This, "The Great Die-Off", "Tragedy + Time" and "Bridges" are highlights to me. | | 5 |  | Rise Against
Endgame
Politically driven, cohesive and topical, this album had Rise Against's heart in the right place, but fails to deliver with lackluster musicianship across the board. It can be quite hooky at times, but it has an overall feeling of being uninspired. "A Gentleman's Coup" (a sort of "Tip The Scales" pt. 2 if you will) is a highlight. | | 6 |  | Rise Against
The Unraveling
Rise Against's freshman album is fast and ragey, but the general feeling is that most if not all the tracks bleed into each other and the album is rather premature and the band's sound not quite developed. Obvious standouts (to me) would be the killer "Everchanging", skate punk "Six Ways 'Til Sunday", and "Faint Resemblance". | | 7 |  | Rise Against
Appeal to Reason
This falls far below the rest. Nothing could have been a worse blow than this album as a follow-up to "Sufferer". There is no song saving this album, not even "Savior". Almost everything on this album ranks near the bottom of Rise Against's catalogue, as most tracks are mid-tempo songs with boring vocals. The guitar tone sounds like a saw blade, or as someone nicely put it, "grinders". Cringe worthy tracks include "Hero Of War", "Long Forgotten Sons" (my absolute least favorite RA song in existence) and "Entertainment". Salvageable tracks include "The Dirt Whispered", "Collapse", and "Whereabouts Unknown", the latter being a true diamond in the rough. I love Rise Against to death but even if they released a hip hop album, nothing could be worse than Appeal to Reason. | |
