Black Rebel Motorcycle Club "Baby 81" -Today's Hot Playlist Pick
In March I posted a rave Galaxy review about San Francisco based BRMC's great new album, "Howl." "Baby 81" (13 tracks, 60 min.) abandons the accoustic sound of "Howl" and marks a return of the heavy sound of the band's first 2 albums, jumpstarting with a terrific guitar riff and dives into "Took Out a Loan." "Berlin" and first single "Weapon of Choice" follow and are equally good, trailed, however, with forgettable songs like "Windows", "Cold Wind", and "Need Some Air." The good stuff returns with "666 Conducer" and "Lien On Your Dreams," crowned by the awesome "American X", generally agreed to as one of their best songs ever. As one Amazon fan wrote: "On a couple of songs, you can almost hear John Lennon and shades of 'Sgt. Pepper' or 'White Album'. As always, I linked to the full-length Rhapsody tracks.
