i would call rise against more punk than metal. i personally liked it, although i'm not a big fan of rise against as a band or most punk bands for that matter. also, to the person who said they hated the idea soundtrack a few posts back, i didnt like it at all at first either, but its a great movie to watch when you are going to sleep....so calming and so much sick powder shots....but its not a great movie to get you fired up to go skiing. i like push and ski porn more for that.
