The Sound of the Collapse: Revisiting Rise Against’s 'Endgame' (2011)

The album opens with "Architects," a direct musical callback to their earlier hit "Re-Education (Through Labor)." The driving guitars and Tim McIlrath’s gravelly shout create a wall of sound. In FLAC, the separation of instruments is audible; you can hear the pick attack on the guitars and the distinct thump of the kick drum, elements often lost in "muddy" compressed audio.
