Well, this album has truly shown it deserves its own thread to me.  I've listened to it a couple times, and damn, it is a good album.

Hero of War is easily the best song of the album.  The lyrics are amazing, as usual.  Rise Against is the easily the best band out there lyric-wise; all of their songs have so much depth and opinion stuck in them that...argh.  Can't think of any other word except amazing.

Give it a listen.

Mainstream and bland screamo rubbish deserves a thread?

At least make a thread for the self-deserving Envy/Thursday split, or the latest Raein LP.

Jeesh.

They're pretty good and have decent lyrics. I don't regard them as one of the more talented bands I listen to, but they're good in their own way.

Oh no, not mainstream! If more than 10 people like the same thing as me I'd just die!

I fucking love this album.

Savior, Audience of One, Strength to Go On, and Collapse are my favorite tracks.  Those are in order too, with Savior topping it out as numero uno.

All of the songs rock though, I've had the entire disc on in my car for a week.  And it's not screamo you ignorant fucker.

It's also got me into more Rise Against, which isn't the same as this disc, but still good.

Haven't heard the album, but Injection and Prayer of the Refugee are awesome Rise Against songs.

'Mainstream' in this sense describes the style of their sound; dilute, bland, predictable, formulaic.

I don't discern between bands based on their chart sales.

Seriously, there's a lot more to hardcore / screamo music than the bands you'll find on the front-cover of Kerrang! magazine.

"mainstream,""bland," "screamo," "shite," and "/wrists" were some of the comments i heard.  try actually listening to them?  music is personal, yes, but it doesn't qualify anyone to make assumptions about music they haven't listened to.  they are hardly mainstream - many people i've talked to (around here, at least) have never even heard of them.  as for bland, whatever.  screamo - if making political and environmental statements is screamo, then sure.  shite, your opinion.  /wrists - again: listen to the lyrics, it's not "oh my god my girlfriend left me," but something more like "our world is becoming shit because of the way we're treating it."

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we’ve lost our will

....

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take

For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as well fall from grace

Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that it stays lit

Already bought it.
Chamber the Cartridge is still my favorite song by them, though.

Rise Against isn't screamo OR mainstream, ya'll are retarded. Take a fucking look at the lyrics, Rise Against is no "My Chemical Romance" or "Greenday".

Has parts, but its varied and a lot less of it than other bands. Ramstein are worst for it tbh.

and yes Prayer for the refugee and Injection are my favourites.

But guys remember, you gotta give it all...
