reception

The album received mostly positive reviews from critics .

“Respect guys, your new album turned out really well and can be recommended without exception. With this, RISE AGAINST will surely manage to increase their level of awareness a little! Thumbs up, full marks and the slider set to ten! "

- Das-Musikmagazin.de

“Rise Against continue their path of the last few years with“ Endgame ”. Both musically and in terms of content. And promptly landed at number 1 on the German album charts. Rise Against always had something to say and this time they put their fingers in wounds, ask questions and invite you to think. The raised index finger still plays no role. "

- plattentests.de

“Endgame” is the last remaining hero of the media age, who is still on the front lines and does not give up fighting for it and demonstrating loudly what he stands for. RISE AGAINST vouch for the deeds of others and manage to give hope and comfort in times of hopelessness. "

- Bernhard Steiner : Stormbringer.at
