Rides Again have released their third album and debut full length album titled "Into Existence." This album shows the band in a very typical radio rock style and sound that is sure to capture the attention of most fans of this music. They have a similar sound to a Three Days grace or an Our Lady Peace, so if you are into those bands, you could like these guys. They have done a pretty solid job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly well and has a nice rocking sound. The instrumentation on this album is nothing to blow you away, but they sure can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals have that typical radio rock sound, with a bit of a grungy vocal style to them. The singer can certainly sing and sing nicely and clearly. With the lyrics, they are targeted to a little bit of an older crowd. They do have some songs that the lyrics that can appeal to just about anyone but for the most part, it is a little more mature. If you are looking for single to this album, give the song "It's Too Late" your attention, which is the first song of the album. This song is the best on the album and it gives you the best feel of the album as a whole. this song has an idea to it that most people can get behind. Rides Again have made a debut full length that should certainly gain them some fans and push their music further then it previously has. They have  done a good job on this album and it is nice to see. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about them. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Rides Again have released their debut album which happens to be Self Titled. This album features mostly live songs, with a few of them from the studio. These guys have a very typical rock sound to them that the radio seems to covet. This band has a similar sound to that of Lit or an Our Lady Peace, so if you like those artists, you could like this album. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the live part of the album have been recorded quite well for being live, while the studio portion could use some work, but isn't too bad either. The instrumentation on this album is nothing to write home about, but the band can certainly play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are pretty standard here. He does however have a nice and clear voice which can appeal to a wide range of people, so this is really good for being able to maximize the potential fans. With the lyrics, the band goes for messages of being alone, love, relationships, change in life, feeling down and more. A lot of these feeling and emotions are things many of us go through at different times of our lives, so we feel this has a message someone can relate to at any time of their life. We think they have done a pretty good job on the lyrics. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, as it is a debut album and mostly live. So just pick a song, give it a listen and get the feel of the album. The last three songs are the studio tracks, so you could just go for one of those as well. Rides Again have done a pretty good job on their debut album. We personally wouldn't have picked a live album to be the one for people to hear first, but it actually isn't too bad. Hopefully we will get a studio album next, and we can fully see how this band sounds in a professional setting. All that is needed now is for the band to get out more and hit more markets so more people can find out about them. Not bad overall. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
