Still, if the idea was to go out with a self-conscious bang they delivered in full, with Ritual showcasing their widest variety of sounds and styles yet, from the strutting funk of “Been Caught Stealing” to the Bo Diddley-goes-arena rock opener “Stop!,” from the building epic blast of “Three Days” to the fraught personal sorrow of “Then She Did…”
