Endgame (Rise Against album)
Encyclopedia
Endgame is the sixth studio album
by American punk rock
band Rise Against
. Produced by Bill Stevenson, it was released on March 15, 2011. Rise Against began work on the album in September 2010, after completing touring in support of its previous album, Appeal to Reason
, in mid-2010. The first single from the album, "Help Is on the Way
" debuted on KROQ
and KKDO on January 17, 2011, and was released on the band's MySpace
and digital media outlets on January 25, 2011.
, and the subsequent touring to support the album, Rise Against entered The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado
(the same studio where all their albums, except The Unraveling
and Siren Song of the Counter Culture
, were recorded) in September 2010 to begin recording their next album. Rise Against finished recording the album in January 2011, after they recorded some last minute guest vocals for the album.
The album deals with "the end of humankind as we know it," with lyrics addressing world events and politics, including Hurricane Katrina
, recent LGBT teen suicides
, and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
. According to McIlrath, "Endgame was a way to talk about the world in a different way than we have before. It is talking about the world from the perspective that it’s too late to recycle. It’s too late to drive a hybrid. It’s too late to decide whether you believe in global warming or not because global warming has devoured the planet." Although the lyrics discuss grim topics, they actually take on a positive view and were written from the perspective of "What if the place on the other [side] of this transition is [a] place we'd all rather be living in?"
Before the album's release, Spin Magazine labeled Endgame as a concept album
and suggested that it may have been largely influenced by the Dixie Chicks
, but on January 7, 2011, McIlrath tweeted a clarifying message stating that "the record is not a concept record and, fret not, has absolutely nothing to do with the Dixie Chicks."
Endgame is notable for being the first album to establish Rise Against's stance against homophobia with the third song on the album, "Make It Stop (September's Children)
", which references the September suicides of teenagers in the LGBT community, specifically mentioning Tyler Clementi, Billy Lucas, Harrison Chase Brown, Cody J. Barker, and Seth Walsh. The album's seventh track, "Survivor Guilt", features dialogue from the film Catch-22

Critical reception
Early critical reception to the album has been mostly positive, with the band praised for polishing the musical style from Appeal to Reason. Thomas Nassiff says "Rather than returning to their old form, the band solidifies an evolved style with this record." Rock Sound's review called the album "bona fide awesomeness". Although many critics have praised the polished sound, some critics feel as if Rise Against have gotten too far away from their punk roots. Kenny Herzog was critical about the single "Architects" saying "as soon as frontman Tim McIlrath bridges the half-time breakdown of "Architects" by earnestly imploring, "Don't you remember when you were young / How you wanted to set the world on fire" (echoing Against Me!Against Me!
