Rising shows some musical growth from Pigwalk, although Stuck Mojo still lose their musical focus on several occasions over the course of the album. Bonz's raps still seem a bit high and whiny to have the same crushing impact as his band's music, and he wisely varies his approach, trying different vocal styles. Initial pressings of the CD included a CD-R copy of the video for the title track featuring several WCW wrestling stars.
