RISE AGAINST Dancing for Rain | Geebz Reaction and Dissection | The Decomposer Lounge 

I know you normally don't pay much attention to lyrics, but the lyrics by Rise Against are REALLY something. I've always admired how articulate and poetic the lyrics of their songs are....worth noting.

That whole album is proof they deserve the success they've achieved. It's near perfect punk if I've ever heard

"Give It All" from the same album is the track that got me into Rise Against and that was purely due to its usage in Need For Speed Underground 2. I've loved them since. Their first album, "The Unravelling" is raw and just incredible. Great video

More Rise Against please! Love them. This album and The Sufferer & The Witness are flashbacks to my high school years. I'm 32 now and still want to get lyrics "how we survive is what makes us who we are" from Survive on me ❤

His voice in Hero of War is amazing

Dude, extremely unexpected vid from you. I've listened to Rise Against probably like 50000 hours, no joke. Love their old stuff, Tim is one of the best songwriters on earth, his passion, the rawness it's insane man. Thanks for reacting to it If you were to listen to them again try Heaven knows or My life inside your heart And i'm still here. :)

The singer has such a unique voice!

Rise Against! I couldn't click fast enough!!!

The fact that you use high quality cuts of these songs does not go unnoticed. Gracias, sir., Also, I'm leaving a bunch of comments on a bunch of videos. That's intentional. RU-vid algorithm.

This is what they call a deep cut lmao, first band I ever saw when I was 15.

Not a bad song. Everchanging, from their first album, was a life changing song for me.

That entire album is awesome!!

Still Here, and the track Injection is a personal favorite of theirs. The Good Left unDone is a heart breaker too. Tim's Voice is equal parts fury, heartbreak, and sorrow. He has the reality of emotional commitment that is so rare these days.

So awesome, love this band and your breakdown. Check out "Re-education Through Labor" such a sick song. Thank you

Saw this concert in Ottawa a week b4 I got married with my now wife in P.E.I.! What a trip! Great memories

You've dipped your toes in the punk rabbit hole, you have a history of metal reactions... now I'm holding my breath for some hardcore.

I'm pretty sure I know every word to every song off this album even though I haven't listened to it in years.

This is my favorite Rise Against song, but they never disappoint. Their newest album hits just as hard as their stuff from the mid 2000s.

I'm still here, and I could recommend any song off of this album, like Swing Life Away, Paper Wings, Blood to Bleed, Give it All, or Rumors of my Demise have Been Greatly Exaggerated. Also their album The Sufferer and the Witness has a lot of great songs too, like Intro/Chamber the Cartridge, Injection, The Good Left Undone and Prayer of the Refugee.

If you're interested in listening to more Rise Against, then listen to Rise Against - Make It Stop (September's Children). The music video is very moving.

Song Recommendation - Rise Against, Prayer of the Refugee.

PLEASE listen to more Rise Against!! They're incredibly poetic and their instrumentals are amazing

This is truly one of my all time favorite albums. This and the next one, The Sufferer and the Witness. Both absolutely perfect albums.

My favorite from them is Re-Education Through Labor.

Rise Against was the first band that really got me into this genre. Such a great band and great live performers!

wow this is very unexpected! One of my favorite songs by this band and on their best album IMO next to the following one. Personally they went downhill after this as far as what I found interesting about them. RPM, Siren Song, and Sufferer and the Witness are their peak albums all done in a row. After that they mellowed out a lot more and I believe lost one of the main writers in the band. They are still very successful as far as commercially which I am still glad for, but it will never be the same as it was when I first found them in my high school days.

Best band in the world. You should check out the song by them drones, on the sufferer and the witness.

Hero of War, survivor, rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, state of the union are all phenomenal. More Rise Against, please !

Good morning from New England...Man this was way different than I expected..That chorus is sooo catchy I'm not sure the history of this band but this has a distinctive 90's sound..Either way I'm going to add this to my drum Playlist when I practice..Peace from the Northeast..

This album is one of those where I can listen to front to back to front again. .. And repeat. Some of the most agressive, lyrically lethal punk, but every member gets to shine in their own way. Some of the greatest bass lines ive heard from any band in pop/punk, ive heard. Period..

Holy shit i haven't heard this song in maybe 14 years and just randomly looked up rise against reactions and i was singing along without knowing the words somehow

I'm still here!

One of the best bands no one else reacts to. Good stuff, thanks

A really interesting Rise Against song you might like to try in the future is Survive, some nice changes in feel and space in that one.

Black masks and Gasoline, i remember hearing it for the first time and being hooked immediately. Its the reason why Rise Against is and will always be my favourite band.

Any Rise Against song is so meaningful and amazing

I'm still here! 😁 love Rise Against! Another good one by them is Prayer of the Refugee

Fuck yeah! Do more rise against. As others have said before, the lyrics are very meaningful with rise against.

I'm still here o/ I remember listening to this album for the first time when it had just been released. I was sitting on a coach on a school trip (trying to keep my CD player steady so the sound didn't skip lol) and ignoring everything going on around me because every single track was just blowing me away. So great to see this one being enjoyed for the first time again, all these years later.

I love this song. NO one reacts to this. Well done.

I'm still here! This was a special one for me, Rise Against was one of my first favourite bands as a youngin. I hadn't listened to this song in well over a decade, until now! Might have to binge the discography this week...

One of most favorite song ever ..

Holy crap one of the best bands out there. Thank you!! They have a really killer catalogue and so many of their videos really tell important stories. Make it stop and prayer for the refugee are impactful. Re-education through labor or Endgame are powerful.

im still here. another rise against song Blood to Bleed, Paper wings

Excellent choice. Keep jamming and giving joy. Please check out Dark by Invent, Animate

One of my all time favourite albums from one of my all time favourite bands! Love Rise Against, been listening to them for nearly 20 years at this point!

I'm still here.

My absolute favorite band! So glad you chose to listen.

Love rise against! Thank you for this. Can you please do stare at the sun by Thrice?

prayer of the refugee is probably one of my favorite songs by the band, as others have said you definitely want to look into the lyrics.

I love this song and I am happy to see you check this band out.

YES!! So happy you are doing Rise Against, they are undefeated in melodic hardcore and have been such an influential band on me personally. Would love for you to react to a lot more punk/hardcore!

Feel like I'm back in high school/college. What an album this was. What a band. Pure nostalgia.

Like others have noted, this was a huge surprise. Rise against has been my favorite band since early college. I know they’re not technically the most sound band of all time but I think you captured what they’re about really well. They’re a bit punk but they’re their own thing. Pretty much any song from their first 6 albums is great. They’re more recent albums aren’t bad but it’s generally softer and stuff we’ve already heard in my opinion. Some favorite songs: Give it All, Broken Mirrors, Disparity by Design, Survivor Guilt, Architects, Behind Closed Doors, Survive, Torches, Satellite , etc etc. hard to go wrong. (Also I’m still here)

Interesting choice. This was once my favorite song of this band.

Ive seen these guys 5-6 times live they are fantastic! I would love you to check out Fair to Midland.

GEEBZ!!! IM STILL HERE!! BERRIED ALIVE just dropped the 🔥!!! Check it out for a change of pace that will BLOW YOUR MIND!! 🔥🍐BERRIED ALIVE-PEARANOID🍐🔥

It has something man! always wondered what was about rise against and then... Geebz explains genres of music and adds to the decompose thing... one single phrase can do it well ... if someone does not get what am saying go here from 4:20 to 6:30 min ... great stuff Geebz!!! Ahola!

Nice to see some Rise Against on the channel. They have been my favorite band for over 15 years! I really appreciate that you are starting out with Siren Song and not the top song on the album either. In addition to the lyrics (other people have talked about how good Tim's lyrics are) I have always liked them because they like to change up the time in their songs, as you mentioned near the end. Their songs always have a nice ebb and flow to them, which I rarely see in other bands. Their biggest hits that would be interesting to listen to would be Savior, Prayer for the Refugee, The Good Left Undone, or Satellite. Siren Song is often thought of as their last "Punk" album and there tends to be fans of the first three albums and fans of the rest. Their sound has shifted a lot over the years and it might be interesting to listen to a song off their latest album to compare against. Their single off their new album, Nowhere Generation, is great and very different from their "punk roots".

Love this album. Paper wings is the best song on the album btw Also more punk please. Bad religion would be a good one.

man this album defined my senior paper experience in my sony walkman at my local library back in 05.

still here always broha.

Used to skateboard to this band back in the day, fuck yeah!

Soo stoked that you're dipping into some punk! One of my fave albums by this band!! Now you gotta do some Propagandhi (failed imagineer or adventures in zoochosis), Anti-Flag (without end or war sucks let's party), NoFX (separation of church and skate or linoleum), or Strung Out (rebellion of the snakes). And they're not really punk, but if you wanna hear great musicianship and get into some lyrics, should do cigarettes and saints by The Wonder Years. Love the channel, keep em coming, I'm still here!

That whole album is great.

Every song on this album is killer. Give it all and swing life away have videos as they are the singles. Personal fave is the last track, rumors of my life have been greatly exaggerated

Geebz, would love your take on something from Pure Reason Revolution. Anything from The Dark Third album would be great but my suggestion is "The Twyncyn / Trembling Willows"

Rise Against is hands down my favorite band of all time. I discovered them from my brother, and to this day I still know every word to an overwhelming majority of their discography.

I gasped and my heart stopped. I'm so glad out of their songs, you chose or had someone choose for you this track.

Fk yea my favorite band

Geebz - it’s time for Rage Against the Machine. Recommend “Bulls on Parade.”

What a great band. Almost forgot about the. Great song and great raspy yet melodic vocals.

Best album by far. Also check out "Savior". Awesome song I listen to all the time.

I was so glad to see this, and even more excited that it was from Siren song. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and they are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. First time i saw them was in 2003/2004 in chicago(where they are from) and I will still see them anytime. not a fan of their new stuff but still one of the best live punk/hardcore bands

I'm still here and please try "Savior" by Rise Against, very nice. or the older stuff that's a bit harder

Can't wait to see more Rise Against!

Geebz: "Punks songs are not long in general!" Me: "Has he listenedto NOFX - The Decline? ... He might need an introduction! LOL!"

Holy crap, I had totally forgotten about this song!

Fucking incredible album front to back.

Became a fan of these guys years ago, and their sound is so well done. They mesh absurdly well, and yes, the bass work is always amazing.

Still here! Another great videos sir. I cannot say enough about the transitions between songs on Rise Against albums. I would highly recommend a listen to just a couple songs in order off an album ( The opening tracks on the 'Sufferer and the Witness' flow SUPER well) Love the Chanel (probably wind up a patreon) (Weakerthans, Alexisonfire, and Protest the Hero..... yeah I'm from Canada...)

I love this album, if you want to do a bit of a combo video, maybe try “the good left undone” and “survive” combo video. These flow into each other and the sufferer and the witness album is one of my favs!!!

I love that you're reacting to Rise Against! Most of their albums have production that reflects the same more organic sound that you talk about. You should definitely check out the song "State of The Union" for a killer guitar riff.

This is their best album, every song is great. The First Drop and Blood to Bleed are probably my two favorites from them.

Dude this album is amazing. Every song is a banger

Didn't expect to see Rise Against on this channel, great analysis. I love these guys and would love to see more reaction vids, Tim is one of my favorite vocalists of this and similar genres. I'd recommend, Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, Survive, Worth Dying For, Give It All, State of the Union, or really anything off Siren Song.

Best bend ever!!!

Yaasss one of my fave bands!! Let’s do more

Love RA. They feel like the split-genre of bands like The Offspring. Just saw them again with Thrice and The Deftones a few years back and sound as good as ever.

dude....Strike Anywhere. "Sunset on 32d Street". Top shelf. You gotta listen to it!!!

Early morning for you Geebz! Let's GO Still here

Well I'm super late to the party on this video but I love that you did a Rise Against song and would love for you to do more of there music!

Please check out The Sound Of Animals Fighting - Act I: Chasing suns !

I love this song, along with the rest of the album.

I'm still here. Do Karnivool "New Day"

This took me straight back to high school. This song still hits real hard. Their song "The Good Left Undone" also gets me right in the feels as the kids say.

What a great song on a perfect album

I just found your channel a couple days ago and I'm LOVING it. This album is the album I got started on and I always have trouble trying to recommend songs to listen to by bands like Rise Against, System of a Down, Disturbed, etc. Because they're all so good. These are some I'd love to see though: Torches The First Drop Anywhere But Here Satellite Blood To Bleed The Good Left Undone Bricks Survive Like The Angel A Gentleman's Coup Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated Black Masks and Gasoline Blood Red, White, and Blue Halfway There Heaven Knows Survivor Guilt I'm gonna cut it short cause that's already quite a list, and I'm sure others will have something to contribute, but they have quite a catalog and they're easily one of my favorite bands.

Love this band!! Highly recommend anything off of this album. The Sufferer & the Witness is a great one too.

Low Rise Against so much. “Swing Life Away” means so much to me, really can’t go wrong with any song tho
