iTunes Review

Endgame picks up where its successful predecessor, Appeal to Reason, left off: contrasting anger with melody. But as the title suggests, this 2011 offering takes the end days of mankind as its theme. “Architects” kicks off as a pummeling hardcore rhythm section pounds under winding guitars and Tim McIlrath rails against political apathy; he sometimes sounds like Ian MacKaye fronting Bad Religion. In the highly accessible “Help Is on the Way” he jabs at those who pine for a liberal-leaning superhero to stand up against the corporate machine before the even catchier “Make It Stop (September's Children)” muses on the everymen fighting for the right to live as the corporations destroy the world. “Broken Mirrors” features old-school punk with relevantly empowering lyrics set to sing-along melodies, while the anthemic “A Gentlemen’s Coup” works in winding guitars and staccato rhythms that make way for powerful, fist-pumping gang vocals.

Customer Reviews

It's Rise Against, but without the edge.

As another reviewer has said earlier, if you loved Appeal to Reason then you probably will love Endgame, and that's fine. However, previous albums such as Siren Songs for the Counter Culture and The Sufferer and the Witness had more of the original punk feel that Rise Against used to have.

Not my cup of tea, but good and mostly meaningful music nonetheless.

It's all good

I think it's great. Some might say that Rise Against lost their "hardcore" sound, but who cares, they make great music. It's got the sound of Appeal To Reason, and there's alot of fast rythms. It's worth the price for sure !

R.I.P.

Here lies Rise Against.

From 1999 to 2005 they stirred the thoughts and minds of listeners with their passionate, meaningful hardcore punk.

Sadly, the band came down with the fatal "sell-out-itis" that had ruined some of their peers, lesser bands, at around the year 2006.

In a long and terrible battle with the disease, the band suffered numerous casualties in the guitar department, and finally succumbed to it on March 15th, 2011.

Keep them in your prayers.
