"Rise and Fall" is the first full length album by the Los Angeles based neo-psychedelic rock band, the Warlocks. It was released by Bomp! Records in 2001. [ [http://www.thewarlocks.com/music.php The Warlocks ] ] The album has been compared to Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, [ [http://www.cosmik.com/aa-october01/reviews/review_warlocks.html Review - The Warlocks: Rise And Fall ] ] [ [http://www.allmusicguide.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hcfexqw0ldke allmusic ((( Rise and Fall > Overview ))) ] ] and also to the work of The Velvet Underground and more recent space rock acts, such as Spacemen 3.

A United Kingdom version of the album was released during the same year, featuring a different track selection and ordering, modified to include tracks from the Warlocks' previous self-titled EP.
