can i just say that i always thought Ride to be a so-so band? I don't know why because their sound has always been congruous with what i like, i've just never taken a strong interest in any of their songs. The second week in the trade i got "Leave Them All Behind" by Ride.The first track, obviously, is the way way way way way too long "Leave Them All Behind." I will say this is a good track,...
You should know Ride. If you don't- fix that.I'm picking "OX4" as the album here just so non-fans have a place to start, but there's a lot to like about Ride, and Ride fans bicker all the time about what they like best or least.
Fair warning: this is not near the fun read the others were, because for me his was not a fun day.

Now, let me state, for the record, that I luuuuuuurve Ride's early output. Everything from Going Blank Again backwards totally works for me. The cascades and sheets of guitar noise, the inventive drum patterns, the vocals harmonies, combined together, make my heart go pitter-patter.Good thing too, because when I listen to the lyrics, I get thrown out of my reverie. Sorry guys, but they complete...
Among the people here on MOG that like the band Ride, I stick out like a sore thumb. Why? you ask. Well, here's why: this isn't my favorite Ride album:Nowhere is generally acknowledged as Ride's masterwork. I'm in no position to argue with that; I love Nowhere, it's a fantastic album, and I have extolled its virtues "*elsewhere*":http://mog.com/Dale/blog_post/59440.However, since Nowhere came o...
