Rise Against Band • Page 8

Lol. According to Tim the label asked them to change a lyric in the song "Bullshit". They told them "No". Haha

 

I like the chorus, the verses and that intro/main riff are painfully boring.

 

Incidentally, Rise are on Virgin Records now, not Interscope. Apparently this was discovered a couple of years ago but I'd missed it so entirely possible some of others did too.

I like the song but jeez I'm struggling to make out Tim's lyrics with my earphones on and the volume up.

 

Song is on Apple Music now.

 

It's pretty much exactly what I expected. I'll always love Rise Against but this is just so samey.

 

Yep! One of the best shows of my life

 

Catchy chorus for sure.

 

I enjoy the song quite a bit it's already stuck in my head!

I listened to the whole categlog this morning again for the millionth time at work and damn the legendary three album perfection they released with RPM - SSOTCC - TSATW still hits me in the feels. I've enjoyed everything since then with endgame being their weakest by a large margin but they will never top the albums before.

 

I like the album art alot. Song is better than the lead singles on the last two albums. Hopefully they break from the rut they have been in and put out something stronger this time around.

And it's not even like I dislike the direction of the music or anything. I enjoy Appeal To Reason for what it is, but I would rather they switch things up a bit instead of making Appeal To Reasons 2, 3 and 4.

 

Guys, did ya'll hear that new banger??? I LOVED it. Pre Orders are up on iTunes now :)

 

I like that as a lead single way better than "I Don't Wanna Be Here Anymore", though I do understand the complaints.

Also not to brag but I ran into Tim via sheer coincidence the other day and got to talk with him for a minute. Such a nice guy haha

 

Thats awesome. He is humble as pie. Good dude.

 

I haven't listened yet, but I really liked IDWTBHA and thought it was one of the stronger tracks on TBM. Excited to hear it now. That is awesome too btw, out of all my favorite bands he's one of the people I'd love to meet.

 

New song is meh. But I'm going through the Long Forgotten Songs album and I forgot how much of a fucking jam 'But Tonight We Dance' is.

 

Maaaan the 16 year old me is jealous you got to meet him heck the 26 year old me still is haha. Bet he's one cool dude!

 

oh shit he was in that band too ? dude shined in every single project he's been a part of

 

The Blackout were one of my favorite bands, a shame they broke up

 

damn I was supposed to see them in Feb 2009 now I'm even more bummed

 

That's what they played when I saw them in 09 too. Was incredible!

 

Chris is the best guitarist this band has ever had, fwiw

 

I see they included Blask Masks & Gasoline and State of the Union in their setlist now, not to mention they even played Everchanging and basically nothing off the last two records.

 

Did anyone else get guest listed for Brooklyn on Monday? I just got the email.

 

Good.

 

I actually like Endgame better than Black Market (their weakest imo) and at the time I felt it was better than Appeal to Reason.
Architects is a great opener, Satellite rips and the other couple of more aggressive tracks buoy the middle of the album. This is Letting Go is an absolute gem and the closer is also pretty great.

 

I don't think any of the last 3 records have had many "rippers" tbh. I'm not sure if it's because Zach's riffs aren't as aggressive as Chris', the production is slicker, Tim has lost some of the edge on his voice, or the songwriting has gotten cheesier. Feels like a little bit of all of that. Last 3 albums are still quite good though
