1) Album Description
WAXWING’s follow up to their For Madmen Only debut on Second Nature, once again impeccably produced by the renowned Matt Bayles (BOTCH, THE BLOOD BROTHERS), One For The Ride is in parts a more stripped down, sparser affair than the layered, lush For Madmen Only. However, because of it sparseness it achieves a sound just as full and textured as their debut, as if each element of WAXWING is given more room to breathe and grow. While more restrained in its full on rock moments than For Madmen Only, but not abandoning them either ("Kill The Messenger"), One For The Ride once again harnesses ROCKY VOTOLATO’s smooth, morose, world-weary vocals, coupling them with WAXWING’s effortless ability to mine different facets of rock’s landscape, usually in a more restrained and introspective manner. This coupling allows the music to be driven but never eclipsed by VOTOLATO’s vocal talents, before musically climaxing with a dynamic rock crescendo or falling fleetingly apart, wherever the music takes them. While often brooding and introspective in its nature, WAXWING’s rock laments possess an energy and emotion buoyed by their unwavering commitment to atmosphere and moods, as well as always placing the music first. One For The Ride is another excellent organic rock release from WAXWING.

I put this on and its beauty moved me to tears which has only happened a couple of times at the most in my lifetime. The greatest most evoking album ever written.5) Wonderfully Unique [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was introduced to this band by a girl I'm dating who used to live in Seattle. She got me the CD for my birthday and I think in a week I've listened to it a total of around 12-15 times. Rocky Votolato is the vocalist and he is now one of my favorite vocalists. He's got a soothing voice, but it can get edgy and scratchy just when it needs to. The songs are catchy but not poppy and pretty moody, which is something I love. I only hope someday I'll be lucky enough to see these guys live. Also check out the singer's stuff, he plays under his own name as well (Rocky Votolato).
