I have to say: Incredible album !!! This record is one of the rare plates that can easily insert and the whole album has long fun. There is no bad track on this record. First and foremost is the mighty opener "State of the Union". An incredibly punchy Rise Against song, but it is immediately clear that no other band could have done this song. My personal best track on the disc is "Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated". One thinks for "Swing Life Away" (a very nice ballad) is nothing but thought wrong, Rise Against have a board not just end like that. This song enticed to want to mitmoshen just one. Finally, let me say that this album is the best album of the year in 2004 and 2005. So buy, buy, buy !!!
