iTunes Review
In the more intense moments of their fifth studio album (and first with guitarist Zach Blair), Rise Against contrast angry, outraged lyrics with the kind of melodic hardcore that can appeal to both mainstream music fans and those who champion the underground. Appeal To Reason ignites with "Collapse (Post-Amerika)," a fist-pumping, high-energy anthem railing against the George W. Bush administration's occupation in Iraq. You can envision the veins pulsing in the forehead of frontman Tim McIlrath as he furiously sings, "This is cardiac arrest/ Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes." In the driving "Long Forgotten Sons" McIlrath pleas for kids to eschew the trappings of apathy, "We'll never fall if we stand for something." Things get post-apocalyptic and huge with the towering "Re-Education (Through Labor)" as he sings about a not-too-distant future where Americans are forced to live like parasites, feeding off scraps of the powerful. In the spirit of protest folk "Hero Of War" is a gripping acoustic narrative that paints torturous and murderous imagery of soldiers committing war crimes. "Audience Of One" is the album's deviation – a catchy, power-balladeering serenade that stands apart from the melodious angst.

Niceeee
by Mikeg5This album is really good,a great rising band too!SAvior and whereabouts unknown are the best!
Overview and top songs:
by GoRAGoI found this album very upbeat and positive. It appeals to me due to the clever balance of songs and genious lyrics. I find myself listening to the folowing songs quite often and I really enjoy singing along with: The Dirt Whispered, Savior, The Strength To Go On, From Heads Unworthy, Audience of One, Reeducation, From Heads Unworthy, and Whereabouts Unknown. Maybe its just me, but I've loved the sound and idea of this band for several years and I can't wait to see what great work they put out in the future. RA for life!
I wish I could get a refund.
by seahawksgurlI wish I had listened to Hero of War before I downloaded this album.I was so disgusted I didn't even listen to the rest of it. You may not agree with our government about the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan and what we are doing over there, I know I don't,but to paint all soldiers in this light is disgusting. The men and women over there putting their lives on the line,going through hell every day do not deserve this. RA has no idea what it is like over there. They need to stick to subjects they know about and leave the soldiers alone.
