The Vines
|
Released: 8th March 2004.
Lock up your doors! The Aussie rockers are back in a whirlwind of smashed guitars. The lead single from the new album sounds strangely familiar - it's a typical punky, indie-rock song, like something Nirvana would have done. It's short, instantly catchy, well produced, and Craig screams a lot. If there's any justice, it should do very well for them. Their last album was a big disappointment after a few great singles... we won't have to wait long to find out if the new one will be the same. I certainly hope for the best.

'Ride with me' is the message Craig Nicholls sings, but what he really means is 'smack me in the face because I'm the most annoying person in music'. "Ride" is the first single from the new album "Winning Days", and to be honest, it's their best single to date. It's catchy, and Mr Nicholls doesn't scream the lyrics like there's something wrong with him. For that alone, I have to give it a good rating.
