Revolutions Per Minute is a hardcore/punk rock album by the band Rise Against, released on April 8, 2003 on the Fat Wreck Chords record label.
The album features the single, "Heaven Knows" and a cover version of Journey's single, "Any Way You Want It".

Overview
The album is filled with songs that either have to do with political/social issues ("Blood Red, White and Blue") or with personal relationships ("Like the Angel") and ("Heaven Knows").
The song "Last Chance Blueprint" features clips of dialogue from the film American Beauty.
"Like the Angel" is featured on the soundtrack to the skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Underground.
