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.^[3] The album has been compared to Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,^[4][5] 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.^[6] 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, ^[7] while also being panned as not translating well from the live to the studio.^[8]
