"The Unraveling is an extremely impressive first effort from these punk rock veterans. Starting off with "Alive and Well" is a taste for what's to come: fast, talented, and catchy songs. Rise Against creates a beautiful blend of both melodic and hardcore punk, which will please fans of Strike Anywhere, 88 Fingers Louie, Pulley, and many more of the like. Almost every song is amazing, but other standout tracks: Six Ways 'Til Sunday, Reception Fades (my personal favorite), Sometimes Selling Out is Giving Up, and 1000 Good Intentions. The only dud in my opinion is Everchanging. I really cannot stand listening to it.So if you are a hardcore kid, pick up this album. If you are a pop punk fan, pick up this album. If you like any form of punk rock, or just plain rock 'n roll, pick it up anyways. It will not disappoint you. Also, pick up Revolutions Per Minute, which is even better than The Unraveling. Trust me."

Rise Against at it's Best

"I just recently bought the new remastered of the unravelling, and wow this album just blew me away, all songs have a different of intensity, some songs are quite fast and others are on a more slower paced side. Rise Against has been one of my favorite bands since the release of the unravelling. This band shows that punk/hardcore is still alive, cause Rise Against puts together a fast-paced hardcore feel to their music. Unbelievable this album is, also check out Revolutions Per Minute and Siren Sounds of the Counter Culture. This band is gonna go on forever...



The 2 new tracks on the album are proof that Rise Against can still live up to its punk/hardcore expectations. This could be the best remastered album of the year...so go out and buy it."

Hardcore punk with vocals like you've never heard

"I heard 2 singles off of compilations by Rise Against and I knew that I had to buy their cd. Man, I was not disappointed. They only have one full-length (another out April 8th, I can't wait) and they are one of my very favorite bands. This is such a unique band, they can make hardcore harmonic. It's a thing of beauty. The singer, Tim, can go from screaming one second to singing with amazing tune and precision. Every single song is good, and the lyrics are some of the best in punk rock. They are thought-provoking and intelligent. I can't find a single flaw in this cd. I just saw them live last night (I've been waiting forever to see them) and they put on a fast and furious show which got the crowd into hysterics. Their cd will do the same. Buy it."
