This album has really grown on me, stupid cover and pretentious lyrics aside. It has a really anthematic quality to it. The evil bunnies are winners in my book. Jul 13, 2006

Good to hear, I'm seeing them next thursday at warped and then on friday at their own show. Jul 13, 2006
the new rise against is a grower. but basically i've felt that about all their records. i bought "the unraveling" in 2000 or 2001 or whatever along with some NFG album, and quite honestly, it was never until the end of 2002 that i realized what a great cd it was. one of my biggest regrets: seeing rise against (with mr precision!), thursday, and boysetsfire at the wetlands in NYC, and watching one song of rise's set before walking away with my friend pennywise345 (where are you pennywise345?) im sure pennywise regrets it as much as i do.
