A good choice. I can see this going Top 10, doing better than IDWTBHA.

Decent choice, but there were better options. Better than "I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore" though, 5th straight album where the follow-up is better than the lead single IMO

They could do that again, very likely, because 50% of the album is better than these two. "People Live Here" pls?

My 4 favorite Rise Against singles are the last 4 3rd singles, starting with the most recent (Satellite) and 4th being "Life Less Frightening" haha

Nice. This was my top choice for the next single. Not the best song on the album, but the best I think made for radio.
Give It All: A+ Swing Life Away: A Life Less Frightening: A+ Ready to Fall: A+ Prayer of the Refugee: A The Good Left Undone: A Re-Education: A+ Audience of One: A- Savior: A Help is on the Way: A+ Make It Stop: A Satellite: A Wait For Me: A- I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore: A+ Tragedy + Time: A
Obviously, I'm a HUGE Rise Against fan and have never even close to disliked any of their songs, so I can't fathom giving anything of theirs less than an A-.

I especially love the energetic ones, but I just can't say there is a huge drop-off comparing any of their songs for me. I don't know how many bands I can say that about. Even some of my favorite bands that I would have to put ahead of Rise Against like Green Day, The Offspring, 311, Foo Fighters, etc have some songs I'd rate a B or even a C. Rise Against is just so damn consistent.

Their 2nd singles are always their lyrical masterpieces too.

Not my first choice for single, but like many of said, pretty much any song off the album I would have been ok with it.
Give It All: B+ Swing Life Away: A- Life Less Frightening: C+ Ready to Fall: B+ Prayer of the Refugee: A The Good Left Undone: A Re-Education: A+ Audience of One: A+++ (one of the best Alt songs ever) Savior: A+ Help is on the Way: A- Make It Stop: A- Satellite: B Wait For Me: A- I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore: B+ Tragedy + Time: B+

This is actually really good, giving me Papa Roach "Lifeline" teas.
Enlighten me: has Rise Against ever crossed over outside of Alt? I think this has potential to cross over to HAC.

I literally can't look at any more grades. I didn't see these many throughout all my years in school.

Called it! Fantastic choice, one of the best on the album
And fine, I'll play along with Baron's game even though I'm just encouraging him to just grade everything.
Give It All: B Swing Life Away: B+ Life Less Frightening: B Ready to Fall: B Prayer of the Refugee: A++ The Good Left Undone: A+ Re-Education: A- Audience of One: A+ (Cannot fathom Baron's distaste for this song, it's amazing) Savior: A Help is on the Way: B+ Make It Stop: B Satellite: B Wait For Me: A- I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore: A (This really grew on me) Tragedy + Time: A
So yeah, I love Rise Against, ever since I heard Prayer of the Refugee and instantly bought their album. As for Top Ten songs...
1. Under The Knife 2. Prayer of the Refugee 3. Behind Closed Doors 4. Injection 5. Audience Of One 6. The Good Left Undone 7. The Approaching Curve 8. The Eco-Terrorist In Me 9. Survive 10. Tragedy + Time
3(Soon to be 4) charting singles and as you can see, I'm a big fan of "The Sufferer & The Witness", it's one of my favorite albums.

This is a good choice, but damn it, I really wanted the title track as the next single. That was one of the standouts for me on the album. (Is it so wrong to think that? ) I still think this'll do well though. Give It All: B Swing Life Away: B+ Life Less Frightening: B- Ready to Fall: A- Prayer of the Refugee: B+ The Good Left Undone: A- Re-Education: A Audience of One: A- Savior: A- (Even with its gross overplay, still a great song) Help is on the Way: B+ Make It Stop: A (This was just amazingness) Satellite: A- Wait For Me: B I Don't Want to Be Here Anymore: A- Tragedy + Time: B+ Lol, sorry Green Baron, looks like you're pretty much alone in hating "Audience of One". Flashback: I remember that song being released the second half of my freshman year of college. Bliss. Also, don't look at the thread for the song. I'm not proud of what I posted there.

Audience of One came out the spring-summer I graduated from high school, and it was still listening to it relentlessly until college started in the Fall, so just because of the timing it holds so much sentimental value to me. But it honestly is one of the best alternative songs ever for me, right up there with Personal Jesus, Lazy Eye, and a bunch of other amazing songs.

"Audience Of One" came out around like idk I don't think I was in school. I guess I was just about to go into high school though, so it marks that time period for me.

"Audience of One" was Rise Against's first #1 on my chart. It was an actual rock hit up here too, which helped a lot.

I only got into Appeal To Reason so I can't be concidered a fan at all, but it was "Audience of One" and "Savior" that did it for me. "Audience of One" was released first, so yeah, that's thire defining song for me too .Both (A) grade classics in my book. Those are the ones that keep me in my car even after I've turned off the engine.
