I really enjoy Rise Against. All of their cds are really great. The new one is really catchy. I admire their involvement in animal rights, and their video for "give it all" reflects their efforts towards animal cruelty, as well as various other things they believe in. They put on really great live shows too =)

So I know the user will call me a poser or some crap but I heard Rise Against's "Swing Life Away" and you know what, its not bad, its got some folkie power behind it, but people who attricbute themselves to a style that doesn't require a good voice should hang out on emo-centric notes they can't hit in the first place. Im refering to the part where he goes "I won't cross this street until you hold my haaaaaaaaand"

To me he's trying to come off as sentimental forelorn sap, and it doesn't work if your gunna try that stuff.

Listen to it, let me know what you think.

I dont know, It sounds a little overproduced. Not quite my cup of battery acid, but its your world, I'm just postin' in it.

TheBig3 · 06-01-2005, 11:24 PM

Oh well thank you Satchmo, someday I promise Ill post about battery acid you like. until then my only consolation is that I answered your "Pedal Steel Guitar" thread.

I don't know what came into you're head posting a thread on Rise Against here but im not complaining. RPM is definately the best Rise Against album. On their most recent album Siren Song of the Counter Culture of which Swing Life Away is on they went for a even more poppier sounds still good but not as good as their first two albums.
