Ha ha, at least nobody's going to complain that the major label has softened their sound. Awesome.

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 13:12:15 They just get hader and harder, although a few of the songs on The Unraveling were ridiculously hard.

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 13:24:48 It's harder....not faster....maybe a little more metallic??? I dunno. I still like their faster stuff better than their slower more personal songs, or songs like this.

by Benjammin on 2004-07-03 13:34:39 http://www.inthepit.net If I didn't know this was Rise Against....... I wouldn't know that it was Rise Against. I don't really dig the blues-based chord progression, but it's a pretty alright song.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 13:36:26 HOLY CRAP! -- i just hope the whole album sounds like this. If the album sounds like this then why the hell did Todd leave if there were creative differences?? makes one wonder

god dam major fucking labels. they ruined this band for me. before they were perfect. now theyr are too hard and shit. majors always fuck it up. fuck, i bet before those damn major execs heard this and started puttin in their two cents it was a rippin awesome power pop ballad.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by CrookedSuperhero on 2004-07-03 14:04:33 This is why i love rise against. Even with songs like this, you can't still tell its Tim singing, and he still sounds the same like he did in baxter and the killing tree, but just more screamy. Cool song too, great guitar intro.

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Manifesto on 2004-07-03 14:44:07 This song simply rocks. It's different from their earlier work, but in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I liked The Unraveling and Revolution Per Minute as much as the next guy, but State Of The Union fits my tastes better. I only hope all songs from Siren Song To The Counter Culture will sound this good.

by Someone on 2004-07-03 14:49:58
i really don't get why people are all excited about RA's 'new' sound... i honestly think they wrote this one hard song to get people psyched up but the rest of the record will probably not be like this..
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 15:01:48 one of the best punk rock bands playing right now.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 16:03:57
The song was good and hard but it wasent the Rise Against we all know. It just sounded like your average run of the mill hardcore song. Nothing made it stand out and there was no raw emotional lyrics that always made me love Rise Against. I was at there show in Arlington Heights last month and there was 1 other new song they played and it was much better than this song.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 16:15:11 Haha, I love how this band can't seem to win. If they wrote a soft song, people would be bitching about how they've changed their sound. Instead, they went in an unexpected harder direction, and people still bitch. Classic.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 16:52:36 the intro sounds like a pmfs song.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 17:45:18 Look at the song title...if you were expecting something soft, you are most likely retarded.

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 18:16:38
Does it bother anyone else that these guys are a blatant rip off of Strung Out/Bigwig/Strike Anywhere and yet none of those bands are doing nearly as well as this band?
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 20:48:14 The whole album won't be like this. Call this their "Black Masks and Gasoline" track of this album. "Anywhere but Here" is another song that leaked, in vein of "Heaven Knows", just slightly softer. Ignore the poppy intro of ABH, and its a solid fuckin song. I can't wait for this release.

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 21:40:52 I think this songs sucks, Its seems obvious to me that Geffen didn't want Rise Against to become pop-punk like blink, but appartenly made them try and sound like slipknot or some other hardcore rock band. Seriously, anyone on this site should know that that song was hardcore rock and metal, not the punk-hardcore that Rise Against used to play. So, I must declare, "sell outs"

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 22:34:57 This is not the rise against i know and love. speed it the fuck up. Between this and the song on the Rock Against Bush comp im losing faith in them. Rise Against mostly are melodic hardcore. theres no melody what so ever in this song. Bah.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 23:50:08 Two Words: Fuckin awesome!
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-03 23:53:49 People...its one song. And a good one imo. Not that it matters, especially since I am sure there will be a variety of sounds on this album. That is probably the best thing about going to a major label, you can afford to have a variety of sounds on one album.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by notaclevername on 2004-07-04 00:05:52 i think i'll add my praise, even though it's abundant as it is...sounds pretty rippin'
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-04 01:29:12 they dont rip off any bands. they created a really unique style of melodic hardcore that was inspired by bands like Good Riddance

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-04 01:48:35 RPM was so good to me that i will buy this CD out of pure respect for the band... but if it does not meet my approval i will not buy their next record... simple as that, listen and judge for yourself, i won't bother to stream anything i only download official mp3 or wait till the album is actually released... CDs are so cheap right now... if you can afford to be on the internet right now you can afford to buy a 14$ CD...

Here's the tracklist

by fabulousdisaster on 2004-07-04 02:19:54 all I can say is I still love this band
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-04 03:16:07
All I can say is, I've heard an advance of the record and it's fucking great. I'm sure many of you won't believe me, but that's fine.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-04 05:16:00 does anyone else think this song is a thrice rip-off?
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-04 16:19:41 Everyone here seems to like it, but I thought it was pretty cheesy. The guitar opening seems ripped off. Also, I never listened to RPM that much... but did Tim always scream on that CD? I mean, what is their major trying to do to them.... make them into this pseudo-hardcore band... which I don't think they are or ever have been??
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-04 18:27:50 I miss the old Rise Against, when they were fast. This is just boring and slow
The REAL tracklist:
by Someone on 2004-07-05 02:45:53
01 - "State Of The Union"
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-05 04:55:08 rise against rules the world, they are without a doubt my favorite band. I just listened to this song for the first time, cant say its my favorite but it definatly rocks. I cant wait til the new album comes out. if anyones got a copy of that other song that leaked email me at pistonbroke@hotmail.com and let me know where i can get it.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-05 09:00:06
I'm quite shure the album won't be this way. They just gave it to make us believe that they won't become softer because they've signed a mayor (AFI..etc).
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-05 23:43:10
I have a Rise Against sampler that i got at Warped two songs Give It All and Anywhere But Here, who wants em?

me too please
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'

sorry i wont be able to email you three, you can download the two songs from me off soulseek my screen name is PsychoSoulseek and you can find them there
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-07 13:44:32
if anybody has the two new songs could you please send them to me over msn??.. troy@newworldonfire.com
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-08 17:24:45 My guess is that they released this song in advance to prove that they haven't gone soft since signing to a major. One song doesn't mean the rest are this heavy. I bet a lot will have the feel of RPM only more mid paced drumming, and then there will be a few more that are toned down a bit, and one more as heavy as this one...just a thought.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-09 06:16:42 its good....im more of a fan of their punk stuff so this song wasnt exactly my favorite....but its still damn good! and dont even compare it to the killing tree cause its nothing like it! im very interested to see what the rest of this album is going to be like....im sure it will still have the punk edge to it...im just hoping they didnt give up on the melodic stuff. first dan left...damn good guitar player....then todd...he seemed to do a damn good job...i hope the new guy fits the bill and picks up where the others left off! there were a couple of other guitar players in the band but all the writing credits go to dan, todd, and chris? the new guy. anyways ill shut up
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-15 02:12:58 This song isnt bad, but it is a little too hard for me but i still like it, i liked their previous songs with the faster drumming, but the cd is definately gonna be good, that song give it all is gonna be on it i think, and thats a good fucking song, i think these songs just shows their diversity to be awesome in whatever they do. so rock on rise against you still have my support
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-15 06:24:27 FUCCCKKK NO!...I'm sorry but what a piece of shit!!...those two songs are horrible...i thought give it aqll was bad..'this anywhere but here' song sucks huge nuts...a pop punk disaster of a chorus and does anybody notcie that the verses are a direct ripoff of the verses from 'broken english'? try singing along to it...he even says the word down at the exact same time..the pressures on boys.. make some money for big daddy dreamworks.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-15 14:27:17 I'd love the two song, give it all and this one, I just think that state of the union is the hardest song of the cd like deadringer on rpm and the art of losing on the unraveling. I'm a big fan of rise and I'm sure that the new cd will be fucking awsome.ROCK ON !

Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-22 04:18:35 dudes who fucking cares if they signed to a major label if you people didn't know two of the most influencial punk bands were signed to major labels Sex Pistols and The Ramones who gives a fuck if a band signs to a major label good music is good music people fuck all this label shit!
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-22 23:32:38
major label cant ever change rise against and once everyone was afraid that it would they prove us all wrong with this song.. kick ass shit
Dancing For Rain, Paper Wings, Life Less Frightening
by 1velvetalley2 on 2004-07-23 15:04:59
These songs have also been released on some warped tour demos around the country. Does anyone have them that they could send to me?
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-26 17:07:50 this song is pretty good. not awesome but good. i really hope the other songs are really fast like ones from RPM. another thing is, i dont really hear the bass like on the other cd's. joes bass usually sounds really metallic and stands out, but you cant really hear it on any of the new songs.
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-27 02:02:01
ok...ive just heard four more songs from the album...yeah fuck the people who said a major would change rise against...the only reason this album has overproduced multilayered vocals, guitars buried in the mix, simple plan pop punk pieces, nickelback rock breakdowns, acoustic interludes in the middle of songs, and overall horrible songwriting is because thats how rise against wanted it...im sure they told dreamworks where to shove their dollars and dreamworks didn';t have any influence over the radio rock sound of this album....
Re: Stream Rise Against's 'State Of The Union'
by Someone on 2004-07-28 12:27:09 God damnit. Why did they do this to us. They serioulsy need to change their name now. Maybe, they wanted to put out a shitty record so theyll leave the major and go back on fat.
