Why do you think the band Rise Against moved from a more Punk sound of the first four albums to a slower more ballad heavy alternative rock sound? (hexbear.net)

From what ive heard joe is the real skater and punk of the band. Tim is a great musician and singer and songwriter, but he's the one who loved ballads and slower songs. I feel like joe was probably largely responsible for the sound of the first four albums, the speed etc.

They're still very good, dont get me wrong. I'd never be embarrassed to play some Rise against. They're just more of a rock band with an alternative sound now than they are melodic hard-core or skate punk these days.

This newest album is basically just a straight up rock album with maybe one punk sounding song on it.

Eh, I preferred the melodic hardcore sound, there are lots of ”alternative rock” bands and far fewer of them that sound like early RA. I kind of have to disagree that Tim isn't really into punk, he did a guest spot on a Sick of it All track on their most recent album (2018, long after RA became a mainstream success).
