Rise Against - Wolves (June 9th, 2017) Album • Page 10

Its super annoying but im not getting another copy just because of that. Am i missing any other swears? I've only listened through a couple times so far.

 

Just the "But there is no fucking way I'd leave you" in House on Fire, I think.

 

Still letting this one sink in but agree with those who think it is their best since Sufferer. Just checked out the two bonus tracks which woild have boosted the record's energy although I'm not sure which songs I'd have left out. Probably How Many Walls.
The poppier songs are really standing out to me, they're actually good for simging along to unlike most of their past two albums. Far From Perfect and House on Fire are really good. Digging Wolves, Welcome to the Breakdown, Miracles as well.

 

How Many Walls is actually in my top five from this album. Still haven't listened to the bonus tracks but it sounds like I'm in for a treat!

 

From the AMA they did last week, the reason the two bonus tracks weren't on the album is because the lyrics weren't finished in time.

I'm not sure how that works but I was able to buy the album the same day as everyone else with the bonus tracks on disc with the lyrics added in the booklet. I don't get how they were included on the album if that's the case lol.

 

That does seem like a odd explanation given that

 

That is weird... are the bonus tracks mentioned on the cover? Maybe they missed the deadlines for the covers being made but the deadline for the booklets was later?

 

yeah i don't know if it just doesn't make any sense of if it's me not understanding what went wrong

 

Seems to me like the record label made the decision to not include those two on the album and the band doesn't want to throw the label under the bus

 

On my second listen of this album and it is amazing. It's up there with Siren Song... for me. I also picked up the new 88 Fingers Louie album and it sucks that Joe wasn't on it but I am glad Dan helped out. Highly recommended!

 

How's the album holding up for everyone?

I find myself coming back to this album quite often. By far my favorite album of theirs since Sufferer.

Miracle is by far my favorite song on the album. Love everything about it.

 

They've made very few songs since Sufferer that you could put on that album and it wouldn't lose anything, and Miracle is definitely one of them

 

Album is already holding up better than either of the last two. I like it better than Appeal to Reason as well. It's not really that much heavier or faster like many people might have wanted, the songwriting is just stronger in general.

Favs at this stage include Wolves, House on Fire, Breakdown, Far from Perfect (amazing chorus, reminds me of Life Less Frightening in some strange way), Parts Per Million, Miracle.

 

Far From Perfect is definetly a song that reminded me of Siren Song. Glad someone else noticed it.

 

Mourning In Amerika and Far From Perfect have edged their way into being some of my favorite RA songs. the album as a whole is stronger than TBM and even Endgame for me but ill defend those albums no matter what. this is just a really solid really good really comforting RA album

 

I relistened to Endgame recently and got a few of the feelings I had after it initially came out, when I thought it was far superior to ATR.
The opener is great, Help is on the Way is a solid single (wonder if people just got sick of it?), tracks like Disparity by Design and A Gentleman's Coup are above average. Satellite is a fantastic live song. And the closing two tracks are great. This is Letting Go is their most underrated song imo.

 

The opening 3 tracks on Endgame are all time favs for me. i like Endgame a lot but the middle kinda drags a bit. I get the criticism it receives but for me its not a deal breaker.

 

Those are easily the two worst songs on the album

 

I would have to vote for The Violence and How Many Walls being the two worst on the album.

 

Agree 100%. Only two songs I don't dig.

 

At the moment the difficult part for me is I really liked Endgame at first and then went cold on it over time -- likely due to its lack of memorable songs, especially through the middle. I'm just hoping the same doesn't happen for Wolves.
ATR I always liked half the songs a lot and didn't like the other half.
Black Market I only ever liked a couple of songs unfortunately.

 

Cool

 

Such a good jam. Their catchy/poppier songs are some of their best (IE: Letting Go, Paper Wings, The Dirt Whispered).

 

Paper Wings is so so so good.

 

I think Make It Stop is underrated. "this life chose me, im not lost in sin" always cuts deep. Tragedy + Time also cuts deep at the end with "despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came"
