lol they titled it like megadeths last?

Indeed, they need a more original title. Endgame was a pretty big album.

Of Course they werent but thats makes RA´s album title even less original than megadeths and you also have to think about if people really remembered the books/movies at the time the megadeth album came out.
Did someone back then complain about the title?

Agreed. In my opinion, it's about how the music reflects the title, and in that sense I think Rise Against deserve to take Endgame.
AWESOME album. Disparity by Design as so much urgency that bands just don't/cannot convey these days...

I felt awestruck by the album. It was pretty much as I had expected it to be, and my expectations were pretty high. I did not feel dissatisfied by any of the songs.

9/10.

i dont understand, you say that the title should reflect the content of the album (I agree) but then you say that Rise Against deserves to have the title (Is there some contest I have been unaware of). I wont rip on RA for taking the title or anything, but it was probably not a very smart move.

And neither were the first to use it.
There are books,movies,songs and bands with that name. Does it really matter?

First off I'm a Metalhead and I think Rise Against sucks as a contemporary punk rock band, but there have been movies, plays, stores, bands and books entitled the 'Endgame'. Megadeth was just the first to use that title for there recent album & song. Besides most artist get there titles from movies, plays, newspapers, books, other albums etc. Not that Rise Against doesn't deserves the Title, I just think its only fair that Megadeth took the title first for there recent brutal album. It would not have been a fuss if someone could've called it, 'THE ENDGAME!' Then that would've been interesting.If you feel the need to give yourself the title of metalhead, then you're probably not one to judge music. I've never met a self proclaimed "metalhead" that knew anything about anything when it came to talking about music.

Lol good point. I don't mind the album title either. I love Megadeth and its cool that Rise Against called their album Endgame.

I think I'll give it a listen, I hear good things about Rise Against.

Metallica's albums is actually a self titled, people just call it the "Black" album because of the cover....

Instead of bickering over the album title, why not comment on the review or the album itself?

I agree with earlier posters who've said that this album sounds almost exactly like their earlier efforts. I was hoping for something more exciting, not more of the same. I'd rather listen to a random track from Appeal to Reason than a single from this album. But who knows? Maybe it'll grow on me.

I've listened to the new album once, and I have to say, it doesn't bode well that just two minutes into it they blatantly rip off the chorus to Against Me!'s 2010 single I Was a Teenage Anarchist. Am I the only one who noticed that?

Yes I did too, I'm not sure what I think of it yet.

About the title though, come on, I personally think it fits their album and style of writing very well. Rise Against are so politically inclined and are obviously environmentalists in some respects. I believe the title "Endgame" has more to do with their beliefs on the environment being destroyed (example; Ready to Fall music video) but thats my opinion.

I know what it's called, lol, I own the record. I just said those people HAVE a "Black Album." Can't exactly say I've ever heard Jay-Z's Black Album, or Prince's all the way through.

This band is terrible and keeps re releasing the same songs/albums.

Ahhh sarcasm, wonderful. I've heard their songs in the past and I don't like them. I have no reason to believe this album will be different, so I won't listen to it. Simple.

The band tackles metal so well with “Midnight Hands,” in fact, this particular reviewer hopes they’ll explore that side a bit more in the future.

In fact, this particular commenter hopes this reviewer will get his genres straight.

Music taste is subjective so neither band is better than the other.

Granted Endgame does have some guitar work that sticks out in ways that previous albums never did, but I'm not entirely sure I like it. Perhaps I'm just a die hard Siren Song of the Counter-Culture fan...or not a huge fan of Zach Blair's work...

I agree with earlier posters who've said that this album sounds almost exactly like their earlier efforts. I was hoping for something more exciting, not more of the same. I'd rather listen to a random track from Appeal to Reason than a single from this album. But who knows? Maybe it'll grow on me.

They borrow the lyric and then expand on it. If you knew what the song was about then you'd understand why they've borrowed the lyric.

He quotes against me "don't you remember when we were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?" and then adds "well I still am, and I still do". Saying he still believes in what he did before, unlike Tom Gabel. Take that how you want but I think it's a gutsy thing to do.

Honestly, this album just sounds like a whole bunch of b-sides from Appeal to Reason that have been reworked to sound the best they possibly could. They should have taken the time and put down some better material. The guitar work is bland, Tim has little aggression in his voice and compared to Siren Song Of The Counter Culture and Sufferer and The Witness, this album blows. One thing I will say for it is that Joe's bass lines are great and stand out more than the guitars. I mean, I'll listen to it a few times more to hopefully get a better feel for it, but this album sounds like they've taken a step back.

This is far better than Appeal To Reason in terms of songwriting. It's more interesting. It's more intense. Definitely not a backwards step after Appeal To Reason.

I honestly thought the album title was a bad pick but have been looking forward to something new from RA and glad to have it.

It's pretty funny reading people saying how all Rise Against songs sound the same. On that note, so does most of Metallica, Megadeath, AC/DC, ...etc

In literary terms, this is called an Allusion, and you wouldn't be wrong to assume that Rise Against has heard that song and is alluding to them, and later answering them when he says "I still do."

Anyways, I think the highlights are Make It Stop (September's Children), Survivor Guilt, Wait for Me, This is Letting Go and Endgame. I'd recommend listening to them.
