The Rising Tide is the fourth and final studio album by American Seattle-based indie-rock band Sunny Day Real Estate. It was released on June 20, 2000.
It was released in Japan on January 24, 2001 with an acoustic live version of "Television" as a bonus track. This was the band's only album not released on Sub Pop Records.
The statue on the cover of the album is Vancouver's "Bronze Angel", created by the Montréal sculptor, Coeur de Lion MacCarthy located at the former Canadian Pacific Railway Station. The bronze war memorial depicting the angel of victory raising up a young soldier to heaven at the moment of his death, was erected in 1921 to commemorate 1115 Canadian Pacific Railway employees killed during World War I. The sculpture was erected in Montréal, Quebec, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Vancouver, British Columbia.[5]
