Endgame (Rise Against Album)
''Endgame'' is the sixth studio album by American rock band Rise Against. It was released on March 15, 2011, by DGC Records and Interscope Records. A melodic hardcore album, ''Endgame'' comprises twelve songs that focus on aggressive movements, anthemic hooks, and rapid drumming. ''Endgame'' continues the trend by Rise Against towards more crisp, polished production, which began with the band's previous album '' Appeal to Reason'', though with the introduction of heavy metal influences in Zach Blair's guitar playing, something that would stick with the band's sound going forward. Social and political commentary constitute the majority of the lyrical content on ''Endgame'', and a major theme revolves around the end of humanity. After a lengthy tour in support of ''Appeal to Reason'', Rise Against began recording ''Endgame'' in September 2010, with producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore. ''Endgame'' debuted at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200, with 85,000 copies sold in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Help Is On The Way
"Help Is On the Way" is a song by American rock band Rise Against, featured on their sixth studio album ''Endgame'' (2011). Inspired by lead vocalist Tim McIlrath's visit to New Orleans, the song is about the slow response time for aid to disaster stricken areas. It incorporates elements of punk rock and melodic hardcore, with lyrics that allude to Hurricane Katrina and the ''Deepwater Horizon'' oil spill. "Help Is On the Way" premiered on KROQ-FM on January 17, 2011, and was later released as ''Endgame''s lead single on January 25.

It can be used as a noun, verb, adverb, adjective, preposition, particle, conjunction, hedge, filler, and quotative.

It can be used as a preposition, as in "He runs ''like'' a cheetah"; it can also be used as a suffix, as in "She acts very child-''like''.
