"When I saw the season finale of "Rescue Me" on FX, I instantly started my search for this band. I had all the lyrics, Googgle open and ready and still could not find one site that told me who this band was. The song was "Fell On Bad Days" which I have to say in my opinion is one of the highlights of the album. It's a shame that this band can't even put lyrics on their website so that the 400+ people searching for the author of this song can find them. I also purchased "Rise" which was not quite my taste, but then again it's just my opinion. That one song alone is enough to make this album for me. I hope others agree."

"Rubyhorse is an Irish band that moved to Boston in 1997. Years later they have taken all their influences and made a distinct record. They got bogged down in a deal with a big label. All the while they have built up their fanbase. This band which may seem like it is working in the precious fields of Coldplay, made be actually a time warp trip back to 1995. They seem like a throwback to the sounds of Oasis and The Verve. Some songs like "Can You Feel" expose their electronic music tendencies. While "Warning Bells" is more like U2. It's a acoustic guitar band with similarities to Minibar and The Shore. Goodbye To All That is a wonderful record. It's a surprise."

"Have to admit that I am a new Rubyhorse fan, and like the previous reviewer, it was the cut of "Fell On Bad Days" that appeared on the season finale of Rescue Me that had me hooked.



Since then have grabbed both Rise & Goodbye To All That. Have been very impressed with both. Rubyhorse has a very raw & unpolished sound that still manages to create very polished sounding tracks. There is a great seed lying here that bodes very well for the future of the group, as you can hear the band grow musically between the two albums.



Goodbye To All That is a very murky sounding album at times, and while there are some slow tracks that never seem to reach their zenith, there are also gems such as "Fell On Bad Days", "She Brings Me Only Sorrow", "Underneath" & "Warning Bells". These tracks alone are worth the price of admission, but the remainder of the album is quite good as well, if a bit slow in parts.



Highly recommend both Goodbye To All That & their previous album "Rise" for a nice musical ride."
