Midnight Ride

This actually goes kinda hard sometimes. That Volk bass playing/sound is really something else. Some of the guitar and keyboard playing is cool too. Kind of a witchy twist on the psychedelic rock sound of the time. The songs are of inconsistent quality though and I dislike generally creepy patronizing vocal tone though.

I love how this is so cheesy even Quentin Tarantino had to make fun of it

iskreno, dosta neloše! ugodno i zabavno slušanje. budući da je dosta bolje od albuma koje sam dobivao u zadnje vrijeme i da namjeravam ponovo slušati, mislim da je zaslužilo jednu četvorku

EDIT: malo sam bio prenabrijan jer nisam dobivao baš dobre albume, ovaj je solidna trojka, ali četvorka baš i nije...

Some cool end of the 60's vibes. Not great but not insufferable.

If you took every album that came out in the 60s and put it in a meat grinder, you'd get sausage that tastes like this album.

Not great. Not terrible. LarryDavid_eh.gif

Nice from a 60s album

I can see Baby's parents dancing to this at Kellerman’s Mountain House.

Beatles wannabes.

This album didn’t change my life but I enjoyed it a lot

ok

Classic 60s rock.

Perfectly fine Jangle pop

Opening track was good, everything else was painstakingly average

Very well of an era

Pleasant. The Italian version of a song was a nice surprise.

Well, it’s garagey and it’s 27 minutes… sure!

I should’ve guessed that this was an American band… seeing that they’re called “Paul revere…” but they sound so British! And that is absolutely to a fault! They seem to be some sort of Herman’s hermits types, super huge in their time, but no one remembers them now because what is there to remember? I mean, “I’m Not Your Stepping Stone” is pretty awesome, and “There She Goes” is very pleasant, but for every stroke of interest there’s a song that just feels… eh. This album also really doesn’t do that much novel stuff anyway, to the point where it makes one wonder why it’s seen as something seminal. However, even though I don’t intend to return to this much, the garage elements end up cutting through some of the more elementary parts of the music and lyrics to the point where I can say it’s at least not bad.
6.9/10

ngl, this was fun

A couple of great hits, a few more good songs, and then the majority is pretty underwhelming. It’s a nice listen, but didn’t blow me away.

Like The Rascals, The Animals, the early Kinks, & Them (V. Morrison), Paul Revere & The Raiders straddle two musical worlds of the sixties, one that's simply pop music, the other that's pop qua soulful rock 'n' roll. Bands such as these tend to be forgotten b/c they didn't go as 'far' as The Beatles, The Stones, The Beach Boys, or The Kinks, & they don't have a classic album to their name. Mostly, they're remembered for one number & only one, in this case the classic 'Kicks.' But having listened to Midnight Ride thru, reveling in Mark Lindsay's voice, which sits somewhere between Burdon & Jagger, I'm convinced that this is one of the more underrated releases of the sixties based on the fact that it never misses. Let's celebrate that consistency.
