Revolutions per Minute is the second album by American punk rock band Rise Against. It features the singles "Like the Angel" and "Heaven Knows", as well as a cover of Journey's " Any Way You Want It". The album had a limited release on vinyl (217 of which were on red vinyl) which is now out of print. It was the band's last release under Fat Wreck Chords prior to their move to Geffen Records, where they released Siren Song of the Counter Culture in 2004. It is also the only album to feature guitarist Todd Mohney.

Inside the album cover, there is a copyright to Transistor Revolt, the band's name before they switched to Rise Against.

On May 28, 2013, the album celebrated its tenth anniversary with a re-release titled RPM10. It contains 10 bonus tracks of demos in addition to the original track list, though the cover of " Any Way You Want It" by Journey that was a hidden track on the original release is absent from the reissue.

Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min) is a measure of the frequency of rotation, specifically the number of rotations around a fixed axis in one minute. It is used as a measure of rotational speed of a mechanical component. In the French language, tr/mn is the common abbreviation. The German language uses the abbreviation U/min or u/min .

Revolutions per Minute is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row, released on October 24, 2006. It is the band's only release with drummer Dave Gara, and its fifth studio album to feature frontman Johnny Solinger before he left the band in 2015.

Michael Wagener temporarily reunited with Skid Row and produced the album. It had been 15 years since he co-produced the band's second album Slave to the Grind in 1991. The album received negative reviews and only charted in Japan at number 266. "Shut Up Baby, I Love You" was released as a single.
