So I am up for trying to listen to some new live music this year besides my annual PJ/Eddie Vedder escapades, and the trip to see a concert by a big band that I've never seen (U2 this year), and I chose Rise Against. I have their newest album and melikey, but does anyone have any suggestions for other albums to that are essential to listen to from their catalogue? Has anyone else seen them live? Are they any good?

    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    They are a fantastic live band. I've seen them at Warped Tour and opening up for Alkaline Trio, and every time, they blew all of the other bands away. Incredible energy. They are one of those bands I'd be willing to see over and over again.

    In terms of other albums to listen to, I thought The Sufferer and the Witness was one of the better albums of 2006. Siren Song of the Counter Culture and Revolutions Per Minute are also great, though a bit heavier than their more recent stuff.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Revolutions per minute.

    listening to it now.



    but they are all good. the latest album probably is their most listenable, maybe a little bit mainstreamish....i think its good., but the older albums are the shit.

    revolutions per minute
    siren songs of the counter culture
    and the sufferer and the witness

    all excellent albums
