Music Review: Rise Against - Appeal To Reason - Page 2

Author: ZaldorPublished: Oct 08, 2008 at 3:56 pm 7 comments


All in all, Appeal To Reason is an excellent CD - and the meanings behind their songs could be interpreted in many different ways, but I think you'll agree that Rise Against does a great job with the hard rock/punk music. If you're into punk/rock with a political edge, I strongly suggest you pick up Appeal to Reason.

Rise Against is currently on tour, and actually end their tour in my hometown, Detroit, Michigan. I will try to make it to their show, as I'm sure some of these songs will be incredible live!

    Neutrality means that you don't really care / Cuz the struggle goes on *even when you're not there* / blind and unaware

    Great Album, i definately recommend it.
