4.0 out of 5 stars
A great slice of the 80s, March 13, 2008
This review is from: Breaking Curfew (Audio CD)
I was a big Red Rider fan back in the 80s, though most of my friends had never heard of them. Breaking Curfew has more of 80s pop feel to it, when compared to Neruda and As Far As Siam, but the songs still sound good today. I never got why these guys never made it bigger in the states.
I rarely skip any songs on this CD, but some stand outs for me on this album are Young Thing Wild Dreams, Among the Ruins, Beacon Hill, and Hold Tight. Shake Monster, while certainly a piece of classic 80s cheese, is a fun listen, too.
I assume if you're looking at this album you know what Red Rider sounds like. For those who do not, I would recommend this if you like the Outfield, Fixx, Cars, etc.

i enjoyed the lp so i bought the cd which was hard to find, May 28, 2011
I have always been a red rider fan. I am the only one that I know of. I enjoy the lyrics. I prefer discs like As Far As Siam and really like the symphany session cd. But there are some good tracks on this disc. I feel the band kind of went a little to 80's on this disc when they were doing fine with the rock . I would really like to hear them do some harder rock. I know it would be real good.
