It definitely is exciting, just in a different way. My issue with it is that the classic-to-dud ratio seems to be just a little lower than the first installment (I mean really, Barry Waite?).

I remember, in fourth grade, a kid in our class brought the 12" of this in for show and tell. The teacher let him play it on the class turntable, but I don't think we even made it halfway through before it getting yanked for being "inappropriate". I'm not sure that I've heard it more than twice since then.

Was it the drugs part or the "rich / bitch" that was so incriminating?

― O Supermanchiros (blueski), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 11:34 (fifteen years ago) link
it was probably how unbelievably nasty the beat is - there's something obviously inappropriate about the song from the very beginning
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 13:11 (fifteen years ago) link
The teacher was growing more and more uncomfortable as the song played, but yeah, I think it was the "bitch" that finally pushed it over the edge.

The blasts of distorted guitar/synth-thing in "White Horse" are quite underrated and unique. One of the more underrated passages of the song is that one time the distorted guitars hit a drone and sustain for several bars early on in the song, and let the weird flute melody putter on over it.
Then in a weird tempo change, the distorted guitar/synth-thing releases, and "IF YOU WANNA RIIIDE".
Extremely subtle, beautiful, different. Even moreso than the rare accented 7-beat counts in Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" bridge -- which is also brilliant.

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 18:21 (fifteen years ago) link
sub "weird tempo change" to "weird beat count" (probably due to editing the song on tape, most likely)

all djs are aware of that little hurdle, as well as the hurdle near the end when everything drops out besides a percussive "BAH-BSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH" which if you've already starting mixing a track in will fuck yo shit right up
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 18:26 (fifteen years ago) link
The 12" version has another such hurdled in an extended "BAH-BSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH" part that's not on the 4-beat before going back to the "RICH?... you bitch" refrain.
― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 18:43 (fifteen years ago) link
AH, we were talking about the same thing, never mind. Yeah, the song ends in a single cold BAH-BSSH too, but at that point, the quick fade-in will have to do.
