Wolves

"Wolves" is the eighth studio album by the American punk rock band Rise Against. It was released on June 9, 2017, through Virgin. During the writing process, the album was to be titled Mourning in America, however after the 2016 United States presidential election, the title and the album's lyrical theme no longer held true. The lyrics in Wolves follow the band's usual theme, being politically based, however this time around the band tackles the 2016 presidential election. Songs like "How Many Walls", "Welcome to the Breakdown" and the title track oppose the views of Donald Trump (just as they did George W. Bush during his time in office) since the band members are supporters of Democratic party. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 67, based on 5 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
