When was the last time you popped an album into your CD Player and it blew you the **** away starting from the very beginning of track 1?

"Siren Song of The Counter Culture" is a fantastic CD. I have all of their other albums (and most comps), because I've always liked Rise Against BUT it wasn't til RPM that they found themselves as a band. Everything before RPM was lackluster, and "Rise Above" must be one of those boobs who thinks every band was more hardcore before they got really good and signed on with a decent label (whether it be FAT, GEFFEN, or SONY).

"Six Ways Til Sunday" was their best track before "RPM" and "Siren Song" were released, and compared to their newer stuff, it was not really that great of a song at all.

I just don't get how anyone could say their newer stuff is worse.

So "Swing Life Away" is on the album. For an acoustic track, which I'm not a big fan of, it's pretty solid. EVERY other track is ****ing hardcore and involves a ****load of screaming and face-breaking guitar.
