Someone said Sufferer And The Witness was the best album of '06. That's what I was responding too. Personally, I love their acoustic stuff. It still doesn't measure up to Tip The Scales or To Them These Streets Belong though...GREAT stuff. Littleknowitall, you have the best sig I've seen on this site. That's great.

yeah, siren song is great. they did some experimenting with acoustics, but covered their asses with the heaviest song they've ever done, "State of the union"

Tip the Scales and State of the Union are awesome. Thank you for your time

"Rise Against was the best three years of my life. I've met so many
amazing people and been all over the world with the best friends anyone
could ask for. I'll never stop writing or playing music. Thank you to
everyone over the past few years for all of the love and support. Hope
to see you all again soon. xxx." -Chris Chasse

well, i'm sure the guy is cool and all, but his guitar playing wasn't that superb. like, barely any guitar solos on the last record. they're getting zach blair from Only Crime (are they any good?) to tour with them. i think they should stop using different guitarists every ****ing record. tim should do both guitar parts and then multi-track them. but again, they obviously know what works, so let them do it. maybe i should learn to play half-decently and then audition when this one quits, LOL.

Haha Rise Against seems to have a curse with their guitarists. Tim's a pretty damn good guitarist, but he wouldn't be able to sing and do it all. Anyways, I havn't heard Only Crime, but it wouldn't be permanent.

Let's just hope they get a good guitarist, they deserve one

Theyre alright but not my favorite band and yes they do.

Oh goodness.

The Unraveling is far and away the best. The past two were very corporate and had no feel.

My Life Inside Your Heart and The Unraveling are two of the best "melodic" hardcore songs ever written.

I think Revolutions Per Minute is my favorite album, but I haven't listened to The Unraveling very much recently. All I remember is that Reception Fades was my favorite song off that album.

The Unraveling didn't seem as heavy to me as Revolutions did, and I think thats why I like Revolutions better.

With this kind of music I appreciate the feeling of it more. The Unraveling had much more raw emotion in it, which made it 100 times better than their later efforts. I love RPM as well, but The Unraveling takes it for me by a mile. That, and I first heard it the summer before 8th grade. It holds a special place in my heart.
