The Rising is an album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music). Springsteen's first record of any sort in seven years, this much-anticipated first outing with the E Street Band in 18 years was everything fans hoped it would be. Mostly a reflection on the September 11 attacks, it was a critical and popular success, and hailed the return of "The Boss".
