Unraveling, the

Rise Against - Nice hardcore/punk going on here. Musically they aren't spectacular, but they do pull off some killer riffs at times and can play nice and fast too. They keep the energy going and don't get too caught up in the idea of just being angry because they play some hardcore songs. Vocals are really nice and you can actually understand them too. And of course each fast song has at least a little breakdown for the hardcore dancing. This was fun and full of energy. Definitely recommended.
My Picks: 2, 4, 5, 9, 11 Katie P. 8/20/01

1) Fast and heavy. Yelled vocals.
2) Uptempo with a nice melodic guitar line. Crunching guitars. Cool breakdown section.
3) Fast and harsh. Pounding with lots of energy that doesn't let up.
4) Uptempo and almost bouncy. Not so angry. Cool vocals new the end when the whole crew comes in. Fades out.
5) Heavy harsh guitars. Serious crunching fuzzy guitars. Slower than other songs, about fast midtempo. Great build to the end. Wow!
