Rise Against
Rise Against is a American punk rock band....Its been round for maybe perhaps 9-10 years already....I first heard about them from a friend of mine(Nika Xiaoyu Montezz...i forgot how to spell..sorry..:)..) who sent me the song,Tip the Scales(Siren Song of The Counter Culture).....I loved the Electric Guitar Riff at the start....and the song had a nice tune about it..though the vocals were....well...screaming...at least they do it better than that Dumb**** adam lambert....anyway...I decided to do what I always do if I like a song....I download the whole album..:p.....Siren Song of the Counter Culture.....Only liked a few songs from that album...Dancing For Rain,Swing Life Away and Tip The Scales...
Months later....I was surfing youtube...and suddenly decided to search Rise Against...A NEW ALBUM...woot...I thought this is gonna be like the old one so...I will pass...nvm I try listening to one of the new songs...Saviour....not bad....quite nice..Vocals have improved ALOT.....then I thought...DOWNLOAD THE NEW ALBUM....Appeal to Reason.....this album is way different from the 1st one I heard...this actually ROCKS...COD4 skills somehow get enhanced when Im listening to this..so yea....it ROCKS...
The Lyrics are really good....actually has a deep sense unlike songs nowadays...Its mainly about Making the World a better place....go against War,Hunger and other worldly issues...They are STRAIGHT EDGE...that means they don't take drugs(okay sure...good),don't smoke(ermm...okay good too..) and they refrain from ever consuming Alcohol(WAIT WTF!!!!)....they are also vegetarians and support PETA...so they are really for peace I guess...:P..
Songs that I Recommend in this album..
- From Heads Unworthy
- Long Forgotten Sons
- Saviour
- Re-Education(Through Labour)
- Entertainment
- Hero Of War
- Whereabouts Unknown
- Collapse(Post Amerika)
