It's just more produced.

Really, as it stands now, Rise Against are hardly any different than all of the other run-of-the-mill radio hard rock bands.

And that's the sad part, kind of what I was getting at earlier. Their first two albums were great.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I think they stand out far more than most run of the mill pop rock bands. Watching there "Loaded" on Fuse right now, and just can't find anything negative to say about these dudes. A great message behind there music, even the new album isn't shallow and weak like most of these bands.

Not to deny the obvious shift in sound from album to album, I think anytime a band gets national or mainstream attention, they get hated on or called "sell-outs". I think there earlier albums are more solid as whole units, there best current songs are just as strong as there best older songs. The future torch holders of rock royalty and they aren't going anywhere.

I saw a video clip of Tim Mcllrath singing with Bad Religion. He and Graffin split the vocals for "Let them Eat War" from "the Empire Strikes First". He actually did a damn good job.

I think they've got a great edge, and sometimes I'll hear a bit of an Ian McKaye influence in Mcllrath's voice, which can't hurt your standing in the punk community. I think that's why, at any given Rise Against show, you'll see guys who have been going to Desendants shows since the 80's, as well as young kids who only recently discovered loud, angry music. Their influences are clear, but they're still progressing and finding their own voice. That's the way it ought to be.

I have seen them twice, once in 2007 and the 2nd this past July. They kicked ass both times. Killswitch Engage and Rancid opened for them and they both put on good shows too.

It's not the attention that leads to such labels, it's the fact that they've musically changed for the worse.
