Let It Ride is the view from the summit of Shed Seven's first years of fame released nearly two years after A Maximum High, the album was trailed first by InchChasing RainbowsInch in November 1996, a Top 20 UK hit and arguably their most celebrated anthem. It was the first of the album's four singles the Britpop/Baggy joy of InchShe Left Me On FridayInch (No 11 in March 1998) followed; the arms-in-the-air power balladry of InchThe HeroesInch (No 18), concluding with that August's reflective InchDevil In Your ShoesInch. Produced by Stephen Street, Chris Sheldon and Dave Leaper, Let It Ride was partially recorded in the legendary Olympic Studios in Barnes. It finds the group stretching out, using drum machines and string sections, with songs like the country-influenced InchA HoleInch and the almost-metal of opener InchReturnInch. InchThere's songs on this album that have the ability to become classic songs, like The Beatles, like The Stones,Inch guitarist Paul Banks said at the time a bold claim, but then, listen to InchChasing RainbowsInch, and the melancholy closer InchGoodbyeInch to understand where he was coming from.
