when did these guys become so popular all of the sudden.

edit = OIC now thats why, they are apparently the new nickelback. How incredibly dissapointing.

I caught a glimpse of them last year at a festival and they were going off.

I would not know this was the same band without being told.

Yeh I have been hearing about them all over the place lately, this video makes it easy to see why.

Goodbye, punk credibility!

Probably shouldn't talk, having the avatar that I do ;)

Wow thats terrible :/

Yeah its kinda sad to see the road they have chosen. Appeal to reason is pretty much all alt. Rock except for one or two songs.

Also tim changed his image to a nerdy looking rocker to a slick looking douchebag.

Before :

Huh. I thought these guys were supposed to be hardcore or something.

Fuck 'em. My friend tried getting me into them back in 2004 and they struck me as shit. They never seemed genuine to me.

Ya I just got their recent album, and a lot of it is nothing really new and its a lot more of a lighter style then it was before. Rise Against was never anything super original or new but this new album takes a turn into being a lot of the same old same old

Hey, their singer's not half bad when he belts it.

Are you serious? They never, ever were punk. Swing Life Away? Ever heard of it?"

As for Rise Against and whether they're crap or not... Well, I reserve my judgment there. Anyway, it seemed pretty clear to me that the little boy "playing" with the world was symbolic of George W. Bush. I think this whole thing was a "farewell and good riddance" to him, potently symbolized by him being tucked in at night. I mean, all of the signs were clear: the economy, banning gay marriage, the Iraq War (including the torture of Iraqi POWs), etc. Pretty straightforward.

Yeah, I can't get into this album at all.  I really liked Revolutions per Minute and Siren Songs though.  Sufferer and the Witness was pretty good too.

Their first album, the Unraveling, was actually pretty punk. But after each progressive album, they dropped off some punk. Now they are hardly recognizable. I know these types of things happen to almost every band, but I had faith in Rise Against."

Nothing nowadays is punk. The entire genre that people place bands under and call "punk" isn't even accurate anymore. I would of thought any moron would know this. They use to actually have some good music though, but I can't say I'm surprised, it happens to everyone in music or even games when something has been around for a while or overstayed its welcome."
