Default Rise Against

So I know the user will call me a poser or some crap but I heard Rise Against's "Swing Life Away" and you know what, its not bad, its got some folkie power behind it, but people who attricbute themselves to a style that doesn't require a good voice should hang out on emo-centric notes they can't hit in the first place. Im refering to the part where he goes "I won't cross this street until you hold my haaaaaaaaand"

To me he's trying to come off as sentimental forelorn sap, and it doesn't work if your gunna try that stuff.

Listen to it, let me know what you think.
