Endgame by Rise Against
Endgame is an album by Rise Against, released in 2011. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 65 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Help Is On The Way”, on 28 lists with a best position of #3.
Endgame, Rise Against's sixth album, came out on DGC and Interscope on March 15, 2011, and the Chicago band sound sharper and slicker than ever without losing their bite. Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore produced, with sessions starting in September 2010 after a long run of touring behind Appeal to Reason.
This is melodic hardcore with a clean, radio-ready sheen: Tim McIlrath's hoarse bark, Zach Blair's guitars, Joe Principe's bass and Brandon Barnes' drums all hammering at songs about politics, society and the end of humanity. "Help Is on the Way" is a rousing, urgent anthem that became their only song to reach the Hot 100, and "Make It Stop (September's Children)" and "Satellite" followed it out. Critics mostly praised how it married punk fury to mainstream rock, though a few found the lyrics heavy-handed. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, their best showing, and topped the Canadian chart.
