Rise Against is a Chicago based punk rock band that formed in the year of 1999. Lead singer and guitarist Tim Mcllrath said in an interview recently that when bassist Joe Principe, and he first started the band that they decided right away that they wanted their band to have an uplifting positive opinion instead of having a negative opinion on things like so many other banRAB have done. It is obvious that Rise Against is continuing that philosophy with their third album, and major label debut, Siren Song of the Counter Culture, which was released on Geffen RecorRAB in the year 2004.

While keeping an overall sound that belongs to them, Rise Against have songs on here that are very different from each other. The opening song State of the Union might even mislead some people into thinking that they are the 21st century
 
This is a sweet album, but not better than RPM in my opinion. I know lots of people who like the song Swing Life Away and hate most other Rise Against songs, so your 'cons' bit is very true - although i personally really dislike Swing Life Away.

Its a good review, and wellwritten. I might listen to this again - its been ages since i listened to Rise Against.
