	Rise Against-Siren Song of the Counter Culture - Music Banter
		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 Records in the year 2004.
		Siren Song of the Counter Culture is definitely a punk record, but has more meaningful lyrics than most punk bands usually do.
		Simply put, Siren Song of the Counter Culture is an album that defines what Rise Against is, a band that can embrace different styles of song writing while still maintaining that punk rock sound.

		Siren Song of the Counter Culture (Geffen, 2004), was responsible for three Billboard standing songs.
		It is a compilation of songs of society and relationships, ranging from nearly pure punk to almost emo, and everything in between.
		Songs like “Bricks” and “Chamber the Cartridge” are enough to give us old Pennywise fans nostalgia, and others such as “Injection” and “Prayer of the Refugee” hit hard but leave an impression more simply than having been shaken.

	DECAPOLIS : Rise Against - Siren Song Of The Counter Culture
		I found each and ever song enjoyable and it is probably in my top 10 albums of all time.
		They start the album off with "State of The Union" which is a political rant with all the power and aggression they had shown in their previous albums and is probably the hardest song they have ever done.
		"SSOTCC" isn't my favorite album of theirs but it certainly did answer the questions that were on my mind and the concerns I had about their switch to a new label.

		The next song is my favorite song on the album, 'Tip The Scales' is such a killer song, even though the guitarriff is pretty repetitive I still love it and this is easily the best song on the album anyone who hears this song wount be able to help but love it to death!
		The next song is the big single on the album and it is the most original song on the album because it is played on an acoustic guitar and it shows what talent this band has a as well as diversity.
		The Siren Song Of The Counter Culter by Rise Against is one of the better albums I have bought in a long time and is with out a doubt the best punk album in the last 10 years so do yourself a favor and pick it up!

	Rise Against
		Rise Against's 3rd album Siren Song Of The Counter Culture proves that not all punk is the same and that it, as well as other music forms, can expand and evolve in sound and theme.
		Sporting songs like "State of the union", the albums heavy punk/hardcore blend of anger which discusses world peace; other tracks like "Tip the scale" and "Rumors of My demise" are more of the old style of punk seen on the bands first record The Unravelling.
		Then comes their life experience and just fun story songs like "Anywhere but here", "Give it all", "Dancing for rain" (the band talks about their fight against polution), and a longer cut of "Swing life away" which is a catchy acoustic ballad from their 1st album.

		SSOTCC is Rise Against's most recent album (released August 2004) and third record to date.
		Their second album, Revolutions Per Minute, is probably the pick of the litter if you ask a die-hard fan of either the band or hardcore because to be honest, SSOTCC isn't produced with the punk MO of doing it yourself, even if the end result seems a bit rough around the edges.
		To be honest, some of the songs seem like filler, and there are a few that I skip every time.

		Now I’m not saying songs have to be longer than it takes me to vacuum my house but at least longer than it takes to do the living room.
		This album is turning into your standard pop/punk fair that the label rushed the band into recording so they could ride the wave that is this genre.
		The only song that truly stands out on the album is the one that is on the radio ‘Give It All’.

		If it's not "love at first sight" it might easily become an "acquired taste." Such is the case with Rise Against and their CD "Siren Song of the Counter Culture."
		At first listen, I found "Siren Song" to be boring and trite, but with further spins I found the music to be insightful and easily likable.
		"Siren Song of the Counter Culture" may take a couple of listens to really sink in, but give yourself the time to let that happen.

		"State of the Union" was an extremely loud song that seemed to be accomplishing quite a bit of yelling in a relatively short amount of time (2 minutes 19 seconds).
		It seems to me that this band is very well balanced as far as the type of songs they put on their albums.
		It seems like this band is very talented from listening to the disc, I like what they've done with Siren Song of the Counter Culture and I'm confident their next release will be amazing.

		I found my Siren Song for the Counter Culture CD again today and I figured I'd blog about it.
		The first song, "State of the Union" is fast and brutal, just like its words.
		It says "equality: an invitation that we won't extend," and "the words: power, death and distorted truth are red between the lines of the red, white and blue." This song is talking to all Americans: we are guilty of standing by and letting atrocities go on without even caring.

		They later switched to Dreamworks Records and recorded their album Siren Song of the Counter Culture.
		However, Dreamworks Records was absorbed by the Universal Music Group and Rise Against finally found themselves on Geffen Records a Universal Music Group subsidiary, releasing Siren Song of the Counter Culture in August 2004.
		Rise Against have a strong left-wing political stance which is seen in songs such as "Blood Red White and Blue", "State of the Union", "Tip the Scales", and "Bricks".

		One of the more unique punk albums to come out in 2005, Siren Song of the Counter Culture takes a note from punk origins and bands like Hawthorne Heights and mixes them into a great sound.

	Siren Song of The Counter Culture - Music Banter
		I have all of their other albums (and most comps), because I've always liked Rise Against BUT it wasn't til RPM that they found themselves as a band.
		"Six Ways Til Sunday" was their best track before "RPM" and "Siren Song" were released, and compared to their newer stuff, it was not really that great of a song at all.
		In songs like Blood Red White And Blue it was fine, but they are so overtly political now its terrible.

		The acoustic ballad about living hardly resembled the rest of the album, but it was a big reason Rise Against's major-label debut sold so well.
		It'd be understandable if the band leaned in that song's direction on Siren's successor.

		Thursday have songs that challenge society's idea of sexuality and women's empowerment, and I think their last record was pretty damn political, actually.
		Sometimes, live, I will put the song into context be prefacing it with a statement, and then somebody realizes that the song they've been working out to or just driving around listening to is really something meaningful and important, and perhaps that rubs them the wrong way.
		WT: When we spoke around the time of your last album [2004's Siren Song of the Counter Culture], you were saying that a silver lining of the Bush re-election was that people had woken up and realized that challenging or questioning the government was more of an American activity than an anti-American one.

		With Siren Song of the Counter Culture, Rise Against ups the ante for major label punk, both musically and politically.
		I’m sure that all the "true punks" out there will slam Rise Against for the fact that this release isn’t as aggressive as some of their previous stuff, not to mention that there are very some poppy numbers here.
		The songs on Siren Song of the Counter Culture rock out, and in a major way.

		The lead singer Tim Mcllrath has a very strong voice and can range from the soft vocals on "Swing Life Away", an all acoustic track which is a huge change from the rest of the album but still fits in nicely, to flat out screaming which kicks ass.
		I mean there were a at least half a dozen other albums I would have prefered to purchase but I'm glad I stumbled upon this album.
		One of my favourite songs off the album is "To Them These Streets Belong" where the vocals are strong and is a nice musical journey.

		Hence, their third album, Siren Song of the Counter Culture, is a full-on assault against all that they consider wrong with the world (and America).
		If only there were more moments such as these to provide a break from the fury, Siren Song may have made a stronger impression.
		As it is, it remains an intelligently-written and damning indictment of the modern world that is told in a fashion that's sure to turn off more listeners than it appeals to.

		It’s all the other minor developments on Siren Song of the Counter Culture with which aware listeners might take issue.
		In a move to zone in on the semidefunct Good Riddance’s ground as key player in the melodic punk/hardcore/political/emotional rocker, Siren Song of the Counter Culture sets pretty lofty goals for itself.
		One way or another, Rise Against lets out some slack on Siren Song of the Counter Culture and plays into every “major labels are home to watery crap” stereotype in existence.
