No One Rides for Free is the debut album by the stoner rock band Fu Manchu. The album was produced by former Kyuss member Brant Bjork, who would eventually become Fu Manchu's drummer for a short tenure. It was the band's only album to feature bassist Mark Abshire. A twenty-year anniversary edition was released in 2014.
The Los Angeles Times noted that "a band can go far these days by recycling sounds from the biggest, dumbest mastodons of '70s arena rock."
Drowned in Sound reckoned it inferior to Daredevil, but still authentic stoner rock. The Rough Guide to Rock called it a "classic".
