The Rise takes a slow start before launching into a vicious DJ Sammy circle of electronic music. True to his style, the tunes here consist of the catchy lyrics laced into extremely synthesized music.
The first track, “Rise,” takes an extremely long time to start off, making you want to skip to something more exciting, unfortunately most of the songs have the same flaw of starting off slowly instead of shoving the beats in your face. This isn’t out of character for DJ Sammy, but may not be your cup of tea. The Rise will be better when someone else re-mixes it.
