Amanda: It has been an extremely long week and I am just ready to go to sleep and watch 12 Angry Men.
I feel like all the albums we have been listening to lately have been poor imitations of
A. The Byrds
B. The Beach Boys
C. The Beatles
As I understand it, apparently this group was really "quirky" and a bit of a joke, actually. This album was comprised of random songs with no real direction. I kind of enjoyed them when I was listening to them, but now I can barely remember a single one of the tunes. So overall really forgettable but not annoying.
RATING:
This blog just beat my movie blog numerically. I knew this day would arrive...
Brie: You're right, Amanda, Midnight Ride was very forgettable. And they were a joke. I mean, they were known for performing in Revolutionary War costumes. I really liked their hit songs "Kicks", and "Louie, Go Home". But that was pretty much it. I remember liking it while I was listening to it... but I have no recollection of anything else. :) By the way, who told these guys it was a good idea to play dress up on every television appearance? Obviously it wasn't very good for their careers.
RATING:
I agree with the book's take: this was a really good band. Some of their songwriting could have been better, but overall, I like the album.
