Rise is the debut album by Northern Ireland rock band the Answer. It has sold in excess of 30,000 copies in the UK and Europe and 10,000 on day one in Japan.

The album was recorded at Olympic Studio 1 at the Monnow Valley Studio in Wales and the Albert Studio in London during the fall of 2005. Produced by Andy Bradfield and Avril MacKintosh, the Albert Productions team (with back room production from George Young) and Neal Calderwood from the band's hometown.

Tracks released from the album were "Never Too Late", "Into the Gutter", "Under the Sky", "Come Follow Me" and "Be What You Want".

Their website initially stated that Rise should have been released in the United States by December 2010. However, since signing with Napalm Records, they announced that re-releases of the Answer's back catalogue would be released in the United States and other key territories in the near future. It was eventually released in the US in late 2013.
