ReviewSpin (p.101) - "JC is a decent bandleader, sitting in with BRMC as they demolish their wailing wall of sound in favor of back-porch acoustic strumming and Mississippi-burning harmonica." - Grade: B Product noteA significant departure for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, HOWL finds the Los Angeles-based trio abandoning the cold, amped-up sound of TAKE THEM ON, ON YOUR OWN in favor of a more heartfelt, acoustic-oriented aesthetic. (It's noteworthy that frontman Robert Turner has gone back to his birth name, Robert Levon Been, and his father, Michael Been, of the 1980s band the Call, contributes piano to one track.) The album's artwork nods to classic '60s record sleeves, and it's no coincidence; the music here is stripped-down and folk-inflected, revealing a major change from the group's earlier reverb-heavy, Jesus & Mary Chain-influenced vibe. Elements of rural blues, soul, and even gospel work their way into these tunes, but the BRMC stills rocks--just in a more inspired and inventive way. Those who had written the band off after TAKE THEM ON will likely embrace HOWL, which shows a promising act making bold steps to revitalize its career.

Album Description'Howl' is the third album from transatlantic psych-rock trio Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Whilst not a complete departure from the bands mix of swirling, Ride-esque harmonies and full on blues rock, 'Howl' is certainly a more pared-down affair sonically, with acoustic guitars dominating much of the proceedings. Includes the single 'Ain't No Easy Way'. If You Enjoy "Howl (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Howl (CD)" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (A...There are no customer reviews yet.
