(The FBI agent slowly gets closer to Johnny's eyes, with a dark and gloomy stare. Like in Prayer Of The Refugee, where during the verse, the clean fills adds to the powerful punch of a chorus, thus making it one of the stronger tracks on the album. Great fills are heard all through the album. Great fills provided by Chris Chasse when the song gets into gear. Like in the opening track Chamber The Cartridge where the drums leading up to the song builds pressure for one of the stronger opening tracks in the Rise Against catalog. There's moments there where the instrumentals adds great depth and does not prude from the Rise Against sound. Tim McIlrath's vocals to some maybe off key, but to most its very emotional and melodic. The album flows very well, possibly better than their previous library. But Rise Against's album provides a crisp sound to the face of punk. What makes 'The Sufferer And The Witness' oh so much better than, lets just say, P.O.D.'s 'Testify.' " I'm sure there is others worthy of the praise outside of the Wall. That is a very bold statement to make, since it is only just a punk record. (The FBI agent reaches across the table and slaps Johnny again)įBI agent - "You quoted with your friends that this is the most important release of the year. Johnny - "What would be the problem with me chatting about Rise Against with a few of my pals? Its not like I am plotting a terrorist attack or something like that." Interesting, no one usually ever admits why they are here until I unleash some torture." Man in the suit (FBI agent) - "Wow, so you know exactly why you're here. The last thing I remember was that I was in front of Walgreens with a few of my friends discussing the Rise Against cd." Would you happen to know why you are here?" Man in the suit - "Do you know what this badge is about? Do you know the importance of who I am? I am serious business. With a bit of pacing back and forth, he pulls out his badge. With more silence to come, the man in the suit stands. Johnny takes it with a confused look on his face, slightly looking down in shame. After about 10 seconds of staring, the man in the suit back hands Johnny right square in the face. Serious stare down between Johnny (who still don't know what's going on) and the man in the suit. The man sits in the third and final chair at the table, pulls out a Smoker's Choice cigarette and lights it.
Almost 15 minutes went by when a tall, well built suited man with a five-o-clock shadow walked in the office with a blow up doll and set the blow up doll on an empty chair around the table. He looked around his surroundings and saw he was in a white walled room, sitting on a chair by a table, all by himself.
He slightly concussed and didn't know where he was at. They haul him away in the white van, speeding into nowhere land. Once the bag is over, one of them trips him from the legs and completes the potato sacking. Within minutes a white van comes to a screeching hault as two men leaves the vehicle and throws a giant potato sack over Johnny's head.
Shortly after the release of the new album, Johnny was standing outside a local Walgreens (better known as the Wall) discussing with a few fellow punkers about how this is by far the greatest release of the year. With the release of Siren Song Of The Counter Culture in 2004, Johnny became even more psyched for the release of The Sufferer And The Witness on Independence Day, 2006. Johnny watched as they went from playing local shows to Warped Tour favorites. Soon followed two punk rock classics (The Unraveling, Revolutions Per Minute). Johnny went to all their earlier shows around the Windy City and became excited that they signed to Fat Mike's well known label (Fat Wreck). He grew up in Chicago, IL and has been following the uprising of the melodic punk band Rise Against since their start in 1999. Johnny was your average angst ridden teenage male. Review Summary: Album pwns so hard, your grandchildren will feel it.
