Signal to Noise is the first full-length album by The Rise, released in 2002.[4]

The album combines electronic beats with post-hardcore music, much like Refused did with their 1998 album, the prophetically titled, The Shape of Punk to Come.

It was re-released in 2005 on ReIgnition Recordings.

Critical reception

Stylus Magazine wrote that "it’s extremely refreshing to see a heavy band that actually cares a little bit about their dynamics and sound textures as opposed to just wanting to hit the listener over the head with E chords."[3] The Austin Chronicle called the album "stellar," and likened it to "Atari Teenage Riot with real songs."[1] CMJ New Music Report wrote that "by toying with instrumentation that traditionally doesn't have a home in hardcore, Signal to Noise is as refreshing as it is exciting."[5]
