Look people it makes perfect sense that Rise Against isn't as hard as they once were. Theyr'e obviously on a mission and want to be heard. Being hardcore and underground isn't going to acheive that I don't care what you think, this is the real world. If your'e a true fan and you agree what they stand for then the least you can do is support what theyr'e doing! Getting their message to the masses, to get the people thinking, to make a move or else were gonna destroy ourselves! If you don't like it, no-one is forcing you to listen to it, just don't come here and slap a "sell-out" sticker one them, because they are everything except that. Sacrificing a bit of their hardcore-ness so that they can make a difference. And they need all their fans from their underground, non-commercial times to stand up and carry their words into the world, in a format that the average joe can listen to and understand. This band is about more than just music!
