Do they still have the power to make a listener pick up a brick and fight for what they believe in though? Just about.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest factor when it comes to new releases from bands like <b>Rise Against<\/b> is how long they have been doing this thing for. After years of living with fire in your belly and blood in your teeth, there needs to be a point where the fire dies down a little and the blood dries. Not to say that the heated passion that has made <b>Rise Against<\/b> such a well known and revered name isn&rsquo;t present because it is by the absolute bucketload, but very much like their previous effort, the pace of things brings things down a touch.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>It doesn&rsquo;t prevent <i>\u2018House On Fire&rsquo;<\/i> from possessing enough \u2018woah ohs&rsquo; and finely tuned hooks to cling to your mind for weeks to come and the tearful glory of <i>\u2018Mourning In Amerika&rsquo;<\/i> still hits the heartstrings good and hard though.<\/p>\n<p>On the grand scheme there is so much to love about <i>\u2018Wolves&rsquo;<\/i>. The sheer resilience of <b>Rise Against<\/b> is present in abundance and their talent for writing brilliantly infectious punk rock hasn&rsquo;t faded by any stretch, but those used to the rough and ready band of yesterday may wish to look elsewhere.
