Since 2001, the band's lineup has also included guitarist James Bowman. After releasing three studio albums through independent record labels (Reinventing Axl Rose on No Idea records, and As The Eternal Cowboy and Searching for a Former Clarity on Fat Wreck Chords), Against Me! moved to Warner/Sire Records for 2007's New Wave, which reached no. 57 on the Billboard 200. White Crosses followed on Warner/Sire in 2010. In 2011, the band launched their own record label, Total Treble, to independently release future recordings.
In 2012, Grace publicly came out as transgender. After a long period of line-up changes and uncertainty surrounding the band's future, their sixth studio album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, was released independently in January 2014 to critical acclaim. The band's seventh album, Shape Shift with Me, was released in 2016. In addition, the band have four well known EPs: Crime as Forgiven by Against Me!, The Acoustic EP, The Disco Before the Breakdown, and New Wave B-Sides. They have released numerous singles, two live albums, and demo versions of the three of their studio albums.

Rapid Decompression -
Against Me! Lyrics
How much is too much?
I'm tired of predicting to lose.
But before you point your finger,
Before you cast your stones,
Take a look at yourself.
How can you expect from someone what you won't do yourself?
There's no bottom to your reality.
Your desperation is utter and complete.
What you can't love about yourself you have to steal from someone else;
And what you can't steal you have to deny.
Rapid Decompression.
Sometimes it feels like your whole world is coming to an end.
I'm tired of predicting to lose.
But before you point your finger,
Before you cast your stones,
Take a look at yourself.
How can you expect from someone what you won't do yourself?
There's no bottom to your reality.
Your desperation is utter and complete.
What you can't love about yourself you have to steal from someone else;
Rapid Decompression.
Sometimes it feels like your whole world is coming to an end.

Great song. Nice video. I can't wait for the new album.

Having read all the "for's and against's" for the way Against Me! have evolved I agree with some and disagree with other's but can't we just take the song's for what they are? They bring us all pleasure to our ears in this case for 1:56 and can reproduce it on stage. Just a good ol' kick ass rock'n'roll band.
ILikeTheThingsIDo
Sounds like they are bringing way more of a hardcore influence to this song. I like it. the music sounds good but not as clean as New Wave, another good thing, though I love when they go acoustic.
Max Smith
Can anyone recommend any bands that sound like this song - not like against me! as a whole just this song, as i love it and they haven't reallydone any other songs like this. Cheers folks!
