Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a big Rise Against fan i was really looking forward to this release. After watching this i had mixed reactions on it. First of all the live performance scenes are great. Its cool to see the different venues that the band has performed at over the last year or so. The video has good shot of the band and crowd giving you a feel of the experience.
Then between the live performances you have shot behind the scenes shots of the band talking about various things ranging from making a new record to personal stuff. While this is interesting to get to know the band better i feel that it takes away from the reason I purchased the dvd which was for the live performances. I was hoping to get a live fix since i didnt get a chance to see them live since they were on the warped tour. I would have rather went from song to song and added a few more performances to make up for the length. Also there is no way to just jump into a live song or just watch the live performances as found in some other band's dvds. I think this would be nice to have for watching the dvd a second time to skip the other stuff. As far as i know there is not even a menu on the dvd. It starts playing right away and when you hit menu it starts the feature over again (maybe its just my blu-ray player i dont know).
As for the quality of the production is alright. I know its not a hi def release but it wasnt the clearest playing on a HDTV, bluray player with a home theatre system. The sound wasnt too bad but could have been better. I know this probably wasnt a big budget release and the dvd was pretty cheap (paid like 12 for it) so its not the biggest of deals. It would have been nice to get a bigger buget release to match the statement on the dvd on how the band is still growing and getting bigger.
Overall this still is a great DVD and im happy with the purchase. It fits nicely in the collection of a big fan. Some info on a new record in the works isnt bad stuff and the live performances are good.

Rise Against Another Station: Another Mile on DGC/Interscope Records. The DVD features performances of 14 songs recorded in locations throughout the world. These performances are interspersed with interviews with each band member of the Chicago based band revealing the creative process that goes into making a Rise Against song and the history of each individual band member. Another Station: Another Mile begins with a statement from the band:"Since we put together our last DVD (Generation Lost), the snowball that is Rise Against is still gathering size and speed.What you hold in your hands is the continuing story of our band, what it means to us, and what it means to people like you.At our request, all the live footage you see in the DVD is completely unedited; meaning we didn't go back and fix or re-do anything.We felt it should stand or fall on its own merit, and be embraced for what is, which is live music. Who knows, maybe we'll feel differently next year. But for now, the moments are captured raw as we make our way to another station: another mile."DVD Tracklist:From House of Blues Boston 7/28/09CollapseThe Dirt WhisperedSaviorHero Of WarFrom Much Music Awards, Toronto, Canada 6/21/09Audience Of OneLollapalooza Grant Park, Chicago 8/8/09SurviveThe Good Left UndonePrayer of the RefugeeArea 4, Ludinghausen, Germany 8/22/09Blood Red White & BlueLong Forgotten SonsGive It AllRe-Education (Through Labor)Keleti Railway Station, Budapest Hungary 6/21/10Swing Life AwayRock AM Ring/ Nurburging Racetrack, Germany 6/6/10Ready To Fall
