The Ringles have lots of those crunchy fuzztoned guitars and awesome 60’s influenced pysche-pop tunes. Todd Borsch and Tom Rose keep things lively, as the songs style resemble The Resonars or The Pretty Things. The album, however opens with a lot of echo and effects on several early songs and it can mask the vocals a bit too much. Thankfully out of the massive 17 tracks here – there are plenty of great ones. “A New Day” which is an excellent Who-styled Mod tune in the mode of “Can’t Explain.” Things get really trippy with “Lisa’s Riding on Star” – so bring your incense out for this one. The fine acoustic strum of “I Am” opens up to reveal a Byrdsian guitar slice of goodness. This albums’ not called “Rickenbacker Ballet” for nothing. The McGuinn twelve-string style comes out big on “Come Tumbling Down.” The production is sometimes basic and they over treble the mix occasionally here, but the Beatlesque-chiming guitars of “Feeling Nothing at All” brings a smile to these Rickenbacker guitar lovers ears. Other songs like “The Way” get a bit overtly preachy with the Christian lyrics, but it’s a good song. Also, “Alone Tonight” has more than bit of The Beatles’ “Mother Nature’s Son” here. The fuzz earlier on the album gives way to a folk strum on songs like “Early Morning Tea” and is a pleasant pop ballad. Overall, if you love sixties style jangle pop, this one’s a winner.
