My favorite album of the 90s,
By Scott Ellinwood "fanclubber" (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
Looking back on the 90s, there were many great albums. Some folks loved Nevermind while others preferred OK Computer or even Deserter's Songs (Mercury Rev). While those are all great albums, Ride's Going Blank Again would be my choice for the proverbial desert island disc.Leave Them All Behind, the epic 8:17 opening track, opens with a keyboard sequence that sounds reminiscent of the Who, and the song lives up to the comparison with lots of noise, drumming that Keith Moon would be proud of and layers of swirling guitars built on top of the drums. Cool Your Boots is another great track with really inventive rhythms and effects-laden guitar. Every song on the album has something to offer and is still a joy to listen to more than 10 years later. The 2001 Ignition reissue/remaster version features four bonus tracks recorded during the album sessions (and originally released as b-sides): Going Blank Again, Howard Hughes, Stampede and Grasshopper. All four tracks are strong enough that they could have made the album. In fact, this is one of those rare albums where there just isn't a weak song. If you're not already a Ride fan, start with this album. It will leave you wanting more. If you aleady had the Creation/Sire version of this album - buy the Ignition release. The sound quality is improved from the remastering and the extra tracks really add to the album experience.

Remastered, no REALLY!,

This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
If you're skeptical about purchasing remastered CDs, you should be. But don't worry about this one! THIS REMASTER IS INCREDIBLE! Not only does it sound ten times better, you also get extra tracks from eps released arround the same time. It really sounds incredible! If you're a fan of Ride, you have to have this!

Simply Stunning....Ride's Masterpiece!!,
By Sakos - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
I know that may be a bit of hyperbole in the title of this review, especially since Ride's previous album, Nowhere, is damn near perfect. However, Going Blank Again simply is their finest moment from beginning to end. And in this remastered and expanded version, even more so.First, the sound is INCREDIBLE...*ALL* of the Ride remasters truly live up to their names. They all are expanded with bonus tracks from Ride's EPs, which is also a welcome addition. This album is just stunning, mixing perfectly Ride's wall-of-guitar sonic landscapes with their jangly and melodic pop songs, and those vocal harmonies! The individual performances on here are phenomenal, but as a band, Ride meshes together like very few. Wow. The album starts off with the epic and amazing 8-minute long Leave Them All Behind, and then just moves from strength to strength....Twisterella, Mouse Trap, Time Machine, Time of Her Time, OX4, Making Judy Smile....fantastic. And the bonus tracks are all excellent, especially the stunning 11-minute Grasshopper, an instrumental tour de force. In short, if you're new to Ride or just a fan of GREAT early 1990s British rock, this is an essential album.

I Had Forgotten How Good It Is...,
By James Richard C. - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Going Blank Again (Audio CD)
Ride has long been a favorite of mine, but this beautifully remastered version of Going Blank Again is a revelation, making it clear what a remarkable album it truly is. I know many fans give the edge to Nowhere or the earlier E.P.s, but for me the clear production and sweeping harmonies of GBA make it Ride's best overall effort -- particularly when you add the extra tracks from the singles as this release does.The album opens with 'Leave Them All Behind', one of Ride's most driving, powerful tunes -- a track that sounds like the opening of an epic film involving either post-apocalyptic cannibal zombies or an existential road trip (or both) -- and from there moves from strength to strength and mood to mood. Yes, there are a few forgettable tracks here (for me, 'Twisterella' sounds out of place, 'Not Fazed' is overlong, and 'Making Judy Smile' is just plain weird) but with 'Chrome Waves', 'Mouse Trap', 'Time Machine' and 'OX4' you have real magic happening. Add the 'lost tracks' -- the sparkling 'Going Blank Again' (how was this left off the album?), the dreamy 'Howard Hughes' and the fever dream of 'Grasshopper' -- and you have one of the most remarkable albums of the 90's. Not just a must-have for fans of Ride, but really a must-have for anyone who loves British pop from the 90's. This is one of the decade's highlights. |
