THE SUFFERER AND THE WITNESS FULL
The songs are volatile but the band sees no reason to go at it at full speed and heaviness all the time and many polished moments give the listener time to breathe. This vegan quartet's style is new-fashioned melodic hardcore with a crisp, refined sound. Maybe it's bad timing to post The Sufferer and the Witness now, but second newest is still a bit new so yeah. As I was looking up this information I read they've just got a new album out but alas, this is not it. You don't get them as good as that from this group no more.Rise Against are a punk band from Chicago that formed in 1999. that's magic moment for me! Love it! A band eons ahead of their contemporaries and at a peak. Pulled off with excellence! And that line with the female vocalist. A road lashed with wind and rain, conflict and stream of conscious confessions by the narrator. For something completely different how about 'The Approaching Curve', a spoken word narrative. Being able get these words across with great music easily makes this one of the best Rise Against if not the best. Essentially, The Sufferer & the Witness showcases Rise Against maturing within the realms of major-label hardcore revivalism, while still remaining relevant. Who can't head bang to that? That's quite a compliment for them, this is a band who's main strength relies in the lyrics after all. 'Prayer Of The Refugee' is about the plight of refugees and forgotten ones to the sound of metallic anti-product. The Sufferer & the Witness finds Rise Against continuing on the path begun on 2004s well-received Siren Song of the Counter Culture.Their melodic hardcore may still sound more mainstream accessible, but this can hardly be looked at as a bad thing. Chicagos Rise Againsts 4th album, THE SUFFERER & THE WITNESS, continues to build upon their solid punk foundation, it is a striking collection. The transitions are perfect as they plead for you to change the world with them. 'Bricks' is an example of the direction they could have gone, releasing one and a half minute songs which sound twice as long. By this point they know there stuff and this is as heavy and riff laden as the biggest pariah's of the stage.

The bizarre imagery of 'Chamber The Cartridge' is all about the world ready to explode and collapse on itsown weight.
