With so much at stake when seminal outfits decide to get back together it’s understandable people usually greet the news of reunification with a degree of skepticism. But if RIDE’s first epilogue didn’t confirm it, their second post-comeback album should; sometimes a return is exactly what we needed. Tracks like “Future Love”, “Jump Jet” and “Fifteen Minutes” stand up as excellent in their own right. At its most adventurous and confident, “This Is Not A Safe Place” is a startling work of extraordinary daring. RIDE sound as powerful and room-filling as it does hypnotic. “Repetition” vacuum packs a party in sharp, staccato goodness, “Kill Switch” takes us into dark, edgy territories, high pitched chord refrains and crashing cymbals creating an air of menace. So, if we didn’t say it already, welcome back. – Juno
