:: ::

Rise or Die Trying is another one of those albums that we should all feel lucky happened in our lifetime. It’s truly 1 in a billion. To have so much happiness, poppiness, and brutal breakdownness all in 1 album is still mind bending to this day. We had never heard anything like it at the time, causing a massive shift in the landscape of pop punk moving forward.

Pat and Tom take their time appreciating every song on this album for the subtleties that made each track unique and interesting. How this album remained at an 11 the whole time and TOTALLY pulled it off remains a mystery, but this massive swing of a record will go down in history as one of the biggest hits of all time.
