Come for a great Ride!!!,
By
This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
Relatively unknown to most people, even in their homeland of the UK, indie and brit-pop lovers will really go for Ride.They are one of my favorite bands of all time simply because they do what the British bands do best; sound slightly different than the others, melodic and catchy, yet spacial and dark as well If you love the 90's British sound, with lots of layered guitars and vocal harmonies, you will definetly like Ride. From the first album, "Smile", they have grown and matured alot in their sound. The sublimely fine indie producer John Leckie, who also produced the Stone Roses, produced their second album, "Nowhere" and this album, "Going Blank Again". This is my favorite album, as it has a number of great songs and the band finally comes into their own and settles into a great indie sound. Branded as one of the shoegazer bands alongside My Bloody Valentine and Lush, Ride deftly combine noisy, delayed phase-guitars with la-la-la melodic vocal layers. Sometimes melancholy and atmospheric, sometimes full of catchy riffs and up-tempo beats (great drumming) they are the ultimate alt-rock/brit/indie band. Highlights of this album are the UK hit, "Leave Them All Behind", "Twisterella" and "OX4"

Going great again,

This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
As a follow up to the superb Nowhere, Going Blank Again really does come close to meeting the expectations of being better than the first, but not quite. I am on my third copy of Going Blank Again with the re-issue that includes the 14 minute heaven reaching Grasshopper.For the CD as a whole the guitars are more stated and the vocals do try to be more prevalent in attempting to be more "song" structured than layered as a concept CD. Still, listeing to Going Blank Again Re-Issue is an experience that gives any day or night a welcome sigh of happiness in enjoying what these guys were able to do. Stand-out tracks are Leave Them All Behind, Mouse Trap, OX4, Going Blank Again and Grasshopper. If you love the airy warmth of a good all night shoe-gazing jam then Ride is the band, and to listen to Going Blank Again followed by Nowhere is about as good as it gets for one band. I like their entire output so I am prejudiced in my opinion about them, but the first two CDs in re-issue format are my favorites.

One of the best albums ever!!!,
By "maximumhawklord" (earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
This is my favourite album by Oxford quartet Ride. The name of the album is a reference to masturbation, and I'm pretty sure the song 0X4 has something to do with this too. There are some excellent songs on here related to space or time travel - the very hypnotic 'Leave them all behind' and 'Time Machine'. There are also more prosaic songs about drinking too much - 'Twisterella' - and dumping girls for no reason - 'Time of her time'. There is not one bad song on this album so I recommend that you listen to it.
