Review - :
{$Black Rebel Motorcycle Club} made an impressive debut in 2001 with {^B.R.M.C.}, taking both America and England by surprise while {\alternative metal} ruled the charts. Their {\psychedelic}/{\space rock}/{\glam}-colored blend was hungry to give rock a new face. Three years later and {\garage rock} still reviving the late-'90s {\pop}-soaked scene, {$Black Rebel Motorcycle Club} aims to save a bit of {\rock & roll} with its sophomore effort {^Take Them On, On Your Own}. More gutsy, more aggressive, and more dynamic than {^B.R.M.C.}, {^Take Them On, On Your Own} blazes on with an intoxicating presentation from the Brit-American collective; vocalist/bassist {$Robert Turner} and guitarist/vocalist {$Peter Hayes} boasted cocksure appeal on the last album, however {^Take Them On, On Your Own} showcases drummer {$Nick Jago}'s powerful presentation, ultimately bringing the trio together. They're fearless and this dozen-track release is all swagger, emotive, and cool. Swanky guitar riffs and {$Turner}'s faltering drawl on {&"Stop"} and {&"Six Barrel Shotgun"} is classic {$BRMC}. There's not a lot of sauntering like {&"Red Eyes & Tears"} and {&"Spread Your Love"} or snarly {\punk}-tinged bits like {&"Whatever Happened to My Rock & Roll."} The band gives the impression that the last album was lifeless, therefore, the split in song and craft on {^Take Them On, On Your Own} isn't exactly a messy thing. There's more character to songs themselves and {$BRMC} appears a touch more confident. From the acoustic {\ballad} {&"And I'm Aching"} to the {\post-punk} fire of {&"U.S. Government"} and {&"Rise or Fall,"} {$BRMC} offers substance over shtick. Reworking some of {\rock & roll}'s natural components for their own brash arrangement highlights the band's overall brilliance. For only a second album, they've got the maturity that most young bands lack on a creative level. Such tenacity will carry them a long way. [There is also a version that includes bonus tracks.] ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
