Rise and Fall is the first full-length album by American neo-psychedelic rock band The Warlocks. It was released by Bomp! Records in 2001.
The album has been compared to early Pink Floyd and also to the work of The Velvet Underground and more recent space rock acts, such as Spacemen 3.
The UK version of the album features a different track selection and ordering, modified to include tracks from the Warlocks' previous self-titled EP. The album's experimental structure, opening on the US version with a fourteen-minute instrumental and featuring a number of rough jams, would surprise and divide critics, both being remarked on as a highlight, while also being panned as not translating well from the live to the studio.
