“All because of you, I believe in angles, the ending to ‘The Good Left Undone’ is my favourite outro ever made. I will forever have the softest spot for you, so soft you could squish it with a gosh darn butter knife. The Sufferer & the Witness, their fourth album, continues to build upon the solid punk foundation - it is a striking collection, with Rise Against using. You taught me the power chord haha! & more importantly gave me the pluck to just be a weirdo. If I was drinking goon in the park with townies you were right there, baby!

The Sufferer & the Witness finds Rise Against continuing on the path begun on 2004's well-received Siren Song of the Counter Culture. It was all 1000 BPM, and god damn when you played it live – you’d be swimming in sweat. Every single track had guts on the wall, deadest anthems.

But you’re the type of album where I actually read the little pamphlet in the cover (like a Bible), d’ya remember those? Dissatisfied with its producer Garth Richardson, the band members decided to. There is a distinct fissure down the spine, so the case doesn’t open properly, it just kinda flops into 2 pieces like some shitty IKEA job. Rise Against’s fourth album, The Sufferer and the Witness released two years after Siren Song of the Counter-Culture. (FYI) Your CD has been crammed in my 1995 Toyota Camry for god knows how long. Stefan Athanasov, The Montreals - Rise Against’s The Sufferer & The Witness Here are their love letters to records that forever changed their lives.
