BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB:
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Virgin) |
The debut CD from BRMC is a mix of sinister, hypnotic psychedelia. The band makes it a point to stay away from the soft lullabies of the other bands by bringing a crunchy blues-rock sound to their songs. "Rifles" and "Too Real" are a never ending wave of guitars and joyful vocals. Despite the album's potential, it comes across as a bit monotonous at times. "Love Burns" is the disc's highlight, blending a steady rock beat with droning guitars. Tunes like the dream-like "Too Real" and the folky "Screaming Gun" show off the band's musical diversity. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club delivers a creative first disc, but they need to work on their distinct musical style before they can grow as a band. |
