Rise Against - Revolutions Per Minute (Purple Vinyl) (LP)

Vinyl Color: Purple. Released in 2003 via Fat Wreck Chords. Somewhere amidst trips across the US, Canada, and Europe, Rise Against wrote their second album Revolutions Per Minute. After spending a few weeks laying the tracks down at the Blasting Room with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, the four piece re-emerged with their critically acclaimed second studio album. Revolutions Per Minute masterfully balances blistering punk energy with sharp, accessible melodies. Tim McIlrath's passionate vocals deliver socially conscious lyrics on standout tracks like "Like the Angel" and "Black Masks & Gasoline." Revolutions per Minute profoundly impacted 2000s punk, bridging the gap between raw underground hardcore and mainstream rock & is widely considered a genre masterpiece and the band's definitive underground release.
