So even with the occasional letdown, there's a lot to be said for Rise Against pulling everything off with as much substance and strength as they do the whole way through. Covering their most successful streak of albums, this four-album set bundles together the mainstream hits of melodic punk band Rise Against. Essentially, The Sufferer & the Witness showcases Rise Against maturing within the realms of major-label hardcore revivalism, while still remaining relevant and exciting. The excellent "Prayer of the Refugee" jarringly alternates between plaintive guitars and weary singing to an empowered chorus and exploding rhythm section to affectingly address the plight of displaced families of war the frustrated disconnect distressing a troubled relationship is represented surprisingly well in "The Approaching Curve," with its driving use of spoken word and complementary female backing vocals. This record is basically one shout-along, mosh-worthy song after another, though the guys do throw in some interesting moments outside of continual rushes of pure adrenaline. "Injection" and "Ready to Fall" bring things back into invigorating Rise Against territory early on, while "Bricks" stands out as a vicious blast of old-school hardcore energy and power.
This later happens again in songs like "Under the Knife" and the ferocious-yet-still-slightly-missing "Worth Dying For," but moments like these are, in truth, more the exception than the rule. Three songs from The Sufferer & the Witness were released as singles: Ready to Fall, Prayer of the Refugee, and The Good Left Undone. The Sufferer and the Witness, Rise Against’s second album for Geffen, picks up where Siren Song left off, with 13 tracks of hard-nosed punk with a focus on melody, crunchy hooks, and shout-along. However, "Chamber the Cartridge" doesn't quite open the record with the same acidic bite as past lead tracks, as the chorus is lacking something in its delivery to really hit a nerve. As such, Rise Against continue to muscularly confront political and personal grievances to the tune of swirling guitars, assertive rhythms, and Tim McIlrath's sandpapered vocals. With producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore manning the controls this time around, the band's inner grit is aptly drawn out amid all the pit-ready choruses and fist-in-the-air, stirring lyrics. After all, the band's sincerity and passion emerge very much intact - their socially conscious approach no less pressing - and new and old fans alike should take to Sufferer with open arms. Their melodic hardcore may still sound more mainstream accessible, but this can hardly be looked at as a bad thing. You don't get them as good as that from this group no more.The Sufferer & the Witness finds Rise Against continuing on the path begun on 2004's well-received Siren Song of the Counter Culture. that's magic moment for me! Love it! A band eons ahead of their contemporaries and at a peak. Pulled off with excellence! And that line with the female vocalist.
A road lashed with wind and rain, conflict and stream of conscious confessions by the narrator. For something completely different how about 'The Approaching Curve', a spoken word narrative. Being able get these words across with great music easily makes this one of the best Rise Against if not the best. Who can't head bang to that? That's quite a compliment for them, this is a band who's main strength relies in the lyrics after all. 'Prayer Of The Refugee' is about the plight of refugees and forgotten ones to the sound of metallic anti-product. The transitions are perfect as they plead for you to change the world with them.
