3 out of 5 stars Good But Thinly Disguised Christian Rock.......2005-01-08

First, don't take that as a putdown of the genre. It's not. But it was not necessarily what I was expecting when I picked up this CD. I am a huge Alarm fan, but after 1991, I lost track of Mike Peters, Dave Sharp, etc. until recently. In an effort to fill in the musical gaps, I bought this release. It's inoffensive; it has Mike's standard earnest lyrics; you can hear the signature ringing guitars. But make no mistake about it: this is NOT an Alarm CD. Other than the edgy lead track, "White Noise", you would have a hard time calling this collection anything other than pleasant. And while you don't hear a direct refernce to Jesus or God or the Bible, the subject matter is unmistakable. It probably is not far-fetched to think that this is the CD Mike thought about making for some time. The Alarm has always had a vague spirituality woven into their music. But this was clearly Mike's opportunity to sing it loud and proud.

For those of you who liked Mike Peters first solo release you will be happy with Rise, i didn't find it to be much of an improvement however. White Noise is a good track to start things off, but I felt that the lyrics were forced after that point, the rest of the disc seemed pretty low key overall. He sings about a message but it's not the same one you might be used too. If your looking to expand your old collection from The Alarm I would suggest picking up the re-released versions of their past CD's, they have some awsome b-sides and the first self titled release is now on disc.

5 out of 5 stars A Culmination of Incredible Talent!.......2001-03-27

By far the most mature and layered album by Peters so far. One wonders what He'll release next? Certainly a rock gem in a world of pre-fab nosense, Mike is the master of DIY music making and this album should not be ignored by real collectors of rock and roll.

4 out of 5 stars Mike's Best solo album to date.......1999-10-24

RISE is without a doubt the best written album from Mike to date. When this man wants to rock he does (Ground Zero) but he can also move you to tears just as easily (Rise). With contributions from The Cult's Billy Duffy as well theres something for most Rock fans here.

Also check out Coloursound, the new band put together by Billy and Mike!
