Needles & Grooves

I don't consider this a hot take because I don't think Ride is near the Top 3. So, yes, you are correct.

they got good songs but out of the 3 albums everyone says are the greatest of all time in shoegaze rides nowhere is definitely the bottom one for me.. it feels more like britpop to me and doesn't have the thick noisy textures of loveless or the beautiful melodies of souvlaki
