Album Description
Available in:
"Wolves" is the eighth studio album by the American punk rock band Rise Against. It was released on June 9, 2017, through Virgin.
During the writing process, the album was to be titled Mourning in America, however after the 2016 United States presidential election, the title and the album's lyrical theme no longer held true. The lyrics in Wolves follow the band's usual theme, being politically based, however this time around the band tackles the 2016 presidential election. Songs like "How Many Walls", "Welcome to the Breakdown" and the title track oppose the views of Donald Trump (just as they did George W. Bush during his time in office) since the band members are supporters of Democratic party.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 67, based on 5 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

User Album Review
One of punk’s few great constants, the Chicago four-piece are back and as furious as ever with this eighth album. As you’d expect, they don’t fumble the ball.
Calling bullshit on apathy and hopelessness - literally so on ‘Bullshit’ – Tim McIlrath’s crew face up to climate change deniers (‘Parts Per Million’), political corruption (‘Welcome To The Breakdown’) and all the evils of the age with blistering, sharply executed melodic punk anthems. You know the drill by now, and familiarity does dull the edges of their less immediate efforts.
They could write songs like ‘Far From Perfect’ in their sleep, sure, and echoes of former glories are everywhere. But when they really hit their stride, as on the weather-worn melodies of ‘Mourning In Amerika’ and the title track’s desperate call to arms, you realise how lucky we are to still have them around.
These 11 songs may not save us by themselves, but they can certainly make us feel more alive and provide a much-needed injection of hope. Reviewed by rocksound.tv.
