"Endgame," Rise Against's sixth CD, was released March 15. The album's first single was "Help is on its Way," which premiered on KROQ and KKDC on Jan. 25. Endgame sold 85,000 copies in its first week and it was the highest charting album of Rise Against on the US Billboard 200, debuting at number two, according to Wikipedia. 


Even though their sound might not be the same as previous albums, the band has included a lot of messages of America going through one disaster after another. It also describes how the world might turn out on the other side of all the bad things that are happening. In the end, their music makes you want to get up and do something to change what you don't like.


The album has a lot of messages. In the song, "Make it Stop (September's Children)," it says, "Bang bang from the closet walls/ the school house halls/ the shotguns loaded/ push me and I'll push back/ I'm done asking, I demand." This is telling us to stop bullying in schools before it gets out of hand and ends up in suicide or school shootings.


The album will catch the attention of many people who normally wouldn't listen to this genre of music. It is filled with amazing sets of melodic hardcore rock that'll leave your ears ringing and mind tossing long after it ends. It has to be by far one of the best albums of Rise Against.
