5.0 out of 5 stars Rise Against at it's Best, August 28, 2005

By	elroy_punk (Winnipeg, MB, CAN) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer tunes!, December 31, 2003

By	President of What (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Unraveling (Audio CD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars review from Synthesis, December 13, 2005

By	Synthesis_jason (Chico, CA) - See all my reviews

Melodic punkers Rise Against have come a long way in a short time. In only five years they have released three albums, their latest for major label Geffen. In the wake of their commercial success the band went back and remastered their first full-length, The Unraveling. Originally released in 2000, this is the Chicago four-piece at their hardest. With breakneck drum beats, shredding guitars and a penchant for singing-into-screeching vocals, it's no wonder that Rise Against's fanbase is as diverse as it is. With a foundation of punk and elements of metal, hardcore and the occasional touch of emo, there is no doubt that this band has a little something to offer everyone. That is, as long as the person wants to rock.
