Recorded at Black Pond in 1984. Produced by Tom Lyle, Brian Baker(ex-Minor Threat), and Tom Scott
Along with the Teen Idles and Minor Threat, GI proved to be one of the most influential and important hardcore punk bands to come out of the DC scene(Dischord) in the early '80s, "Joyride" was the band's 2nd LP.
"The GIs began to display marked maturity and a bit of stylistic independence on 1984's Joyride, loudly co-produced by Baker. With improvements in Tom Lyle's guitar work and Schroeder's singing, and the arrival of Mike Fellows, the quartet's third bassist (and most competent to date), Joyride takes a few cautious steps away from hardcore orthodoxy. (Admittedly, the heavy metal insinuations of "Joyride" and "Notch to My Crotch" are not necessarily a step in the right direction.) Odd inclusions: a sludgy but tuneful cover of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin," the second version of "Hall of Fame" (from Boycott Stabb) and another (uncredited) version of "Sheer Terror."" --Trouser Press
