It's interesting how the female backing vocals fit in there. Still, I think it's one of the strongest songs on the album. As our voices lowered, the cadence again overtook the air. The car pressed on faster through he night. Our cracking voices became part of the music. Though it's basically the transcript of the usual fight couples have now and then, it just grips you. Only the chorus and the bridge are sung in the known way. Basically a story is told, as if it is Tim himself. The song is, speaking of the vocals, spoken word 80% of the time. Still there are some interesting new treats in there. So the catchyness factor definately went up after Siren Song. Even my mom does so, and she's not really the Hardcore/Punk-type. When you hear the songs, you just have to move or sing along. And even the songs that come around like the typical Rise Against song are. No, though there is not much stuff that is new, there is still new stuff.

So, is this a carbon copy of 'Siren song of the counter culture' then? Nice guitar melodies, accompanied by a rythm section that drives forward. As one is used to with Rise Against, the songs are sometimes a bit simple, but VERY effective. Which means the topics are political as well as society issues, but also personal expiriences turned into songs.Īt first, it really seems that there are no real changes. He is by no means afraid to point the finger at stuff he thinks goes wrong or sucks. It's clear that Tim McIlrath stays with the usual topics as well. Maybe even more than all Rise Against songs did before. The song is straight forward, has a driving beat, and animates to sing along. The opener 'Chamber the cartridge' proves that the band stayed true to their previous efforts and style, that's for sure. And as I absolutely love Siren Song, this album has some quite large footprints to fill out for me.

This is the second major release of Rise Against after they signed with the major label Geffen (sub-label of Universal) for 'Siren Song of the Counterculture'. It's called 'The Sufferer & the Witness' and brings the dedicated listener 13 brand new tracks from the Chicago-based Punk/Hardcore band.
