Album Review: Ride - Weather Diaries

Following on from My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, Ride complete the holy trifecta of shoegaze comebacks with their first album in 21 years.

Producer Erol Alkan subtly adds a smattering of the electronic elements he's renowned for, but otherwise Weather Diaries remains loyal to the spirit of the band we know. Weather Diaries boasts a handful of pop gems like All I Want and the revitalising Charm Assault, but elsewhere the songwriting becomes a tad clunky at times. Not likely to considered alongside their finest, but a welcome return nonetheless.
