AMG Review of Ride

Steven McDonald
All Music Guide

A four-track EP release that provides a good overview of Ride circa 1989 -- while "Chelsea Girl" is a piercing example of Ride's churning trash-rock-cum-shoegazer, "Drive Blind" is a distinct marker on the band's path to some sort of glory (and an inglorious fade, alas.) Interesting listening. Considering the run of the song titles, though, this might well have been called "Eyesight EP" or something.
