It's defintely no Sufferer and the Witness, but it's more energetic and 'punk' than their last few and that will have to do.

ham-fisted hamsters that are so hammy, it's like Christmas dinner with all that ham.. didn't know things were bad politically until they came along though, so that's something..

a muddy, shallow, badly written and overall uninspired effort by a band that once had been untouchable at how tightly-woven, yet immediately catchy and relatable their songs were written. Its also no good sign when your vocalist's not only unable to sing the old songs at shows, but also already messes up the new ones.

Best album since Appeal to Reason. As of now I would even rate it slightly ahead.

I think a 3.5 is justified. The album wasn't complete garbage. Comparing Rise Against albums to "Swing Life Away" is petty. However, the album has some weak-points and a hardcore sound would have been better. That being said, Rise Against is taking a step in the right direction and could most certainly learn form "Wolves."

Zzzzzzzzzzzz... Oh! Down from Chicago, Illinois, melodic hardcore outfit Rise Against have blessed the world with their now eighth full-length release titled Wolves - and (huge shocker) it's yet another boring addition to the band's once charming discography. Coming in at 11 tracks, the latest offering stands at a modest 40 minutes concerning duration, but I swear it goes on for much longer than the intended length taking into account how insipid the composition is overall. There's no doubt the new record here is thematically relevant, though what good can that do when Tim McIlrath's vocals sound so phoned in? What good could the lyricism possibly do if there's no certain edge or any amount of believable tang at this point in RA's career? The group is past their Revolutions per Minute and The Suffer & the Witness phases - hell, seems as if they've forgotten about The Unraveling, this much is understandable. But what isn't so easy to comprehend is the banal songcraft, half-assed production values, and almost nonexistent urgency; 'almost' is uttered due to a few numbers that are legit worth salvaging. I hesitate to deem Wolves a bad punk record, yet I can't say the affair is worth getting excited over either. Meh. Angel's ditty picks: "Wolves," "Welcome to the Breakdown," "Parts Per Million," and "Miracle".

Their worst album. They sound completely washed out, Tim's lyrics aren't cutting it, and you've
heard most of these melodies before. That being said...it's not bad, just bland. First 5 tracks
are pretty good but after that there really is no more reason to continue listening. Miracle is a
decent closer and Parts Per Million was the only other decent cut. The two bonus tracks are
probably the most daring on the album (which isn't saying much) but they are much more interesting
than all of these, with their only fault really being that the choruses are pretty cringey when he
says the name of he song in the song. If you were done with this band after Sufferer and the
Witness, there is nothing here for you. This is definitely worse than The Black Market and that's
pretty sad to say.
