Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's third album, HOWL, was a near-total reinvention of the Los Angeles-based trio's sound, introducing previously unknown folk and country influences. Although the experiment was artistically successful, the band completely abandoned it on their fourth album, BABY 81, in favor of a return to their original, far more aggressive sound as heard on their self-titled debut and second album (TAKE THEM ON, ON YOUR OWN). BABY 81 reiterates all of BRMC's original influences, primarily the Jesus and Mary Chain's mix of ear-piercing feedback and pop hooks and My Bloody Valentine's love of massed guitar drones for their own sake. These combine with co-leaders Peter Hayes and Robert Turner's familiar vocal style on songs as diverse as the poppy first single, "Weapon of Choice," and the Sonic Youth style nine-minute noise-rock epic, "American X." Other highlights include the strutting opening track, "Took Out a Loan," and the Stooges-like sleaze of "Berlin."
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: Peter Lind Hayes, Robert Levon Been, Nick Jago.
Spin (p.84) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] recent attraction to Britpop yields expertly crafted songs like the angry, political 'Weapon of Choice' and the brooding crooner 'Window.'"
Alternative Press (p.156) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The bulk of BABY 81 draws from the dark underbelly of the Woodstock generation..."
Magnet (p.90) - "BABY 81 finds BRMC back in control of the street corner, cigarette squints and rock 'n' roll swagger intact."
No Depression (p.97) - "BABY 81 finds BRMC further refining their distinctive, invigorating blend of swirling, fuzzed-out guitar squall and stripped-down bluesy soul."

 I find this rather disappointing
Buy Take Them On, On Your Own. That record had some defining moments esp. on "Stop". If anybody, I mean anybody, does those dang 9-min. epics of theirs, those have got to stop besides if you're Tool-inspired esp. like 10 Years and Evans Blue. I thought this record would be sub-par, but that's total far-shot. You want sub-par and pathetically generic? Try Sum 41's Underclass Hero. BRMC's last record, Howl, was taking me off-course a little bit. This is both a blessing and a curse to me to put out this record. But they're a trio, man. There's bound to be options for future records for sure!

 sound like the JAMC doing a modern country FM records
seriously this sounds like the Jesus and Mary Chain doing a modern country record. Not cool vintage country, the new modern country that plays on FM radio stations. It's sounds like Shaina Twain's producer was involved in this or you could say this music sounds like a rated R version of Shaina Twain music.
