He's at his best in the fictional-mythic mode that prevails here.
-
Entertainment WeeklyCall him Tenacious Z. [31 May 2002, p.108]
-
UncutThe album's undisputed highlights are "Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)" and "Genius." [Album of the Month, July 2002, p.100]
-
An eclectic, catchy opus that equals and occasionally surpasses his last really great release, Sentimental Hygiene.
-
It rocks harder (and louder) without stinting on the musicianly colors that have always redeemed his sessionman whomp.
-
MojoFor all his sour wit, however, Zevon remians a musical craftsman who's happy to leave the lyrics to others. [July 2002, p.102]
-
Q MagazineFinds Zevon reverting to a fuller, plumper, back-to-the-'80s sound. [July 2002, p.122]
-
For all My Ride's Here's inconsistency, it's blessed by Zevon, who retains one of the most distinctive and appealing vocal/lyrical cadences in rock 'n' roll.
-
BlenderThis follow-up isn't as clever or as caustic [As 2000's Life'll Kill Ya], but at least Zevon's now smiling as he goes his twisted way. [Jun/Jul 2002, p.116]
-
Zevon, so frequently great, should know better.
-
For the most part My Ride's Here is a misfire from an artist capable of much better work.
