"Revolutions Per Minute" is their fifth full-length studio album, and is also the first release with current drummer Dave Garra.
With "Revolutions Per Minute", the album opens with "Disease" and, along with "Another Dick in the System", things are reminiscent of the glory days, it really couldn't have gotten off to a better start.
With it being mainly punk influenced, "Revolution Per Minute" is by far the worst album to bear the Skid Row name.

 [the-mag] - Skid Row - Revolutions Per Minute LP
Compared to all their previous records, "Revolutions Per Minute" gives you a feeling that the band has now reached a point where they can afford to have simple, unassuming fun without worrying about their career or revenue from a record.
With their first album they were trying to get their foot through the door, their second record was an effort to maintain their status of an important new band and the album that followed was a contrived attempt to stay in tune with the times that had radically changed.
This talent for replication is still present on "Revolutions Per Minute" where the band engages in trendy teeny punk and some watered-down metal, but with the latter they are a few years behind, as diluted metal is certainly not the kind of genre that gets radio play these days.

I don't have their new album or the one that came out before it, but the band seems to keep making music that sounds exactly the same on each album.
The reason this album is their best is because their musical formula works very well on this album.
If you like this album, you'll like their other albums, but this one is all you need.

Revolutions Per Minute is a lot different than Thickskin.
This album has a lot of groove, ignoring the fashion trends the band leaned towards on the last album.
Overall though this is one of the best Skid Row albums, in a way it feels a lot like their self-titled debut with a rawer edge.

 Rise Against: "revolutions Per Minute"
“Revolutions per Minute” is everything that a follow-up should be.
The album is recorded in a far superior fashion, but without the fancy “experimentation” trap that a lot of bands with bigger studio budgets fall into.
Their new guitar player, Todd, is a way better fit for the band, Tim’s vocals are more varied (and great as always), Joe’s bass has a really nice tone to it, and Brandon’s drum work is solid and unwavering.

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) is Rise Against's second album, and follows The Unravelling.
Something else that drags this album down is the lack of variety in the songs.
It'd be more effective if you reviewed an album that isn't already present on the site or had a significantly differing stance and understanding of the album that you could use to flesh out the community's understanding of the album.

Their new disc, Revolutions Per Minute is a CD which will become a classic in my mind, and definitely one of my top 10 of 2003 so far.
My single negative comment about this album is that at times the drumming is a little bit too hard and overpowers the rest by way too much, otherwise it is excellent.
Like I said at the start, this is an album which I love, and will most likely be in my top 10 of 2003 at the end of the year.

This album has everything: blisteringly fast drums, catchy melodies, and a whole lot of screaming hardcore parts.
"Revolutions Per Minute" was released on Fat Wreck Chords, who, in my opinion, still puts out some of the best releases in the business.
All that can be said about "Revolutions Per Minute" is this: If you're a fan of melodic punk rock, you will like this CD.

 Skid Row :: Revolutions Per Minute :: Review @ Astrofaes' Metal Domain
That was in 2003, now three years later the band have returned with a new label, a new album entitled Revolutions Per Minute and an energy and enthusiasm that I dare say matches the intensity Slave to the Grind.
Revolutions Per Minute mixes it up a bit with punk, metal, rock and even a little country rock, while still maintaining a focus and making a statement that rock is still alive and well.
Revolutions Per Minute is an outstanding effort by a band that I personally had left for dead.

 RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Skid Row - Revolutions per minute
The album has a handful of approved (not great, but approved) tracks; The opening track Disease and Pulling My Heart Out From Under Me are not ostentatious, but both have a groovy feel.
The album lacks quality songs and there is no flow in the songs from start to finish.
"Revolutions Per Minute" is nowhere cohesive in its entirety and the monotone punk gets wearing since there are no catchy choruses at all.

 REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE
But the Pet Shop Boys effect something of a revolution per minute with their songs of six, nine, and eleven minutes long, for even in these circumscribed formats, they too raise the spectre of a song that need not end.
One used to be able to count on the peaceful "revolution" of the seasons, to count on October coming around again, with its meaning not at all all in doubt.
But it is exactly in the moment of revolution that history emerges as most "historical," when the contingency of events and the unpredictability of the future become most apparent, when all of a sudden history the possibility of things being radically otherwise.

With clenched fists in the air, boots to the floor, and anger swelling in their chests, the members of Rise Against return with their second album, Revolutions Per Minute.
From the north blows the fury of their hearts, swept up as they are in their passion for a girl who is "Like the Angel," but love that strong almost inevitably eventually engenders the opposite emotions -- and so it is with Rise.
This, to continue the metaphor, is the wind of political change that descended with hurricane force on 9/11 and left all of us, Rise included, reeling in its wake.

SKID ROW has set "Revolutions per Minute" (view artwork here) as the title of its new album, tentatively due on October 24 through SPV Records.
Thickskin was a pretty good album except for the reworking of "I remember you" which sucked.
The album artwork was also designed by the band (I believe Rachel did it himself, and it shows).

 Hour.ca - Music - Spin - Revolutions Per Minute - Rise Against
I'm not quite ready to say it's better than their debut, The Unravelling, which was a blistering exploration of the intersection between pop-punk and hardcore (not as much of a feat when you consider some members were veterans of 88 Fingers Louie, but still).
Revolutions Per Minute is also blistering, and it remains in the same general style, but it's tighter and seems more reasoned.
This, however, is arguably at the expense of the, like, hectic uncertainty of the first record, which was a good thing.

I'm not saying every track on this album is bad — there are a few moments where the song demands attention and the guys certainly rock with passion and attitude.

 Skid Row — Revolutions Per Minute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Skid Row starts off their “Revolutions Per Minute” is much the same way that Velvet Underground came back into prominence.
While there are hints of the same hair metal that brought Skid Row to the fore in the late eighties and early nineties, the edge which they imbue each of the songs on “Revolutions Per Minute” with is as sharp as all get out.
Skid Row has came back in a strong fashion with their “Revolutions Per Minute”, to the degree that it would be pretty easy for the band to reclaim a pretty nice position on the charts again.

 rock the socks - we like loud guitars
So back to ‘Revolutions per Minute’, the album is pure genius and starts off with the melodic ‘Black Masks and Gasoline’ which is a stand out track of the album as well as the last track called ‘Data’ according to my iTunes.
Their second album but first on Victory Records is very good for a debut on a label like Victory.
The album is quite rusty in some places but if you hear MCR first album its totally different to Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.

I was worried that the album would be too political, but its only if you read WAY into the lyrics.
Rise Against's second album, Siren Song Of The Counter Culture, whilst being somewhat more melodic than the previous album, is very well done.
If you heard this song apart from the album you'd probably think you were listening to a pop-punk band, this isn't a bad thing of course.

 rock-city.co.uk ::: Skid Row — Revolutions Per Minute
Arguably their greatest album was “Slave to the Grind” with its mix of metal and rock in the title track, “Riot Act” and “Get the Fuck Out” and the epic balladry of “Quicksand Jesus”, “In a Darkened Room” and “Wasted Time”.
Listening to this album today it could be any one of many rock bands heard over the years.
That's not to say its a bad album, the tracks are pretty good even if they get a bit too country on “When God Can't Wait”, and repeated on the first half of “You Lie” both of which are actually pretty poor.

The problem is, both albums have their fair share of "blahhh" and it's this element that keeps each album from shining on its own.
When I read they were putting this album together with the same producer that helped them on Slave to the Grind, I had high hopes this effort would greatly elevate the band's success.
I thought this album was excellent and definitelt is the first album that seems to be written to showcase Johhny Solinger's vocal talents as compared to being writtne for Sebastian Bach.

 MediaRebellion » Blog Archive » Review: Rise Against - “Revolutions Per Minute”
The song calls for revolution and for people to take control of their lives and live them as they wish, rather than as others wish them to.
The songs don’t all sound the same, they offer several different styles in their music, and all of the songs are good.
I would say this album is probably deserving of a good 3.5 stars, and that’s being modest.

 Blistering.com Review: Skid Row - Revolutions Per Minute
“Revolutions Per Minute” very wisely stays away from the late-'80s hard rock sound that forever carved the band's name in hair metal infamy, although Skid Row was never really a hair metal band.
Nevertheless, the group's adaptation of punk rock is pretty cool, kinda like most of the acts on the Liquor and Poker Music label, or The Wildhearts—take your pick.
If you take it from the context that this is a totally different band, “Revolutions Per Minute” is a pretty solid album.

 CD REVIEW: Skid Row – “Revolutions Per Minute” : Legends Magazine, Issue 163
Skid Row's Revolutions Per Minute marks the first time in history that the Legends editor has received a CD his wife might actually want.
As they released their sophomore album, Slave to the Grind, in 1991, Seattle had already shit on most of the metal scene and kicked grunge and alternative out into the world and Skid Row found their sound, style and music overshadowed by such acts as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvanna and Pearl Jam.
The band toured on the album, it dropped quickly from the charts, and the troupe spent three years pondering a split while grunge stomped glam-rock and heavy metal into the proverbial dust.

 Review : Rise Against - Revolutions Per Minute
Their new album, Revolutions Per Minute may seem like your typical punk-with-rhetoric drivel, complete with the Fat Wreck label scrawled across it, but boys and girls, it is anything but.
The treble on the guitar is too high, the drummer has a third arm, the singer sounds like he swallowed a bucket of glass, and it's perfect.
Almost 38 minutes of throbbing, incessant and, most importantly, fresh punk rock.

 OnTrackMagazine- CD Reviews/Skid Row - Revolutions Per Minute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The new CD Revolutions Per Minute, while being a more cohesive achievement overall is virtually as unimpressive as the bands last CD.
There are a couple of tracks that stand out as bonafide metal hits but the majority of material found herein tends to lean more on the punk rock side of things than most metal fans can handle.
For those who are nostalgic about the 80’s hair metal scene this CD is not likely to be what you’re looking for however if you are a diehard fan you’ll no doubt accept this as merely a next step in the evolution of the band.

This album is full of songs that are alternately viciously fun, like White Trash, to laugh out loud like Shut Up Baby, I Love You, and You Lie.
This album is far removed from the buttrock era of the band.
It would be hard to pick a favorite song from this as they all are important to the flow of the album as a hole.
