Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Take Them On, On Your Own: Wikipedia Album Entry
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club made an impressive debut in 2001, 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.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - And I'm Aching Lyrics
I can't wait for long, my darling
All I have to keep me strong
All I have will go, all I have will go
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - U.S. Government Lyrics
I stripped my faith on the city pavements
To keep a smile
I got my legs from the US Government
To keep me alive
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Suddenly Lyrics
I am so high, I can't look back
I'm waiting for what comes next
You can't live this life for me
But I can't, you have control
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Stop Lyrics
We don't like you, we just want to try you
I'm tired of runnin' the feeling ain't comin'
This all could be simpler, it all could be simpler
But all this is sickness the feeling ain't in this
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Six Barrel Shotgun Lyrics
I kill you all with a 6-barrel shotgun
I kill you all but I need you so
I tear my finger from the trigger, baby
I tear my fingers âcause Iâm feeling low and son

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Shade of Blue Lyrics
I've been here before, I know this shade of blue, it's you
I've felt your touch before I know your way
A ghostlike sense of state, you're gone
So it seems you know me, I will wait for you, I do
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Rise or Fall Lyrics
Please don't suffer god just make it quick
With all you've had you don't know what it takes to beg
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - In Like the Rose Lyrics
In like the rose that grows in your soul
Out of time, now you're out for more
In like the stone that forms in your heart
Out of reach but you can't give up this time
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Heart + Soul Lyrics
I walk without you
but I need to believe
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Ha Ha High Babe Lyrics
You're ha ha high, babe
You can't keep it on the ground, keep it on the ground
You're ha ha high, babe
You can't keep it on the ground, keep it on the ground
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Generation Lyrics
I don't feel at home in this generation
The ones without a need they ain't got a reason
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - We're All in Love Lyrics
I'll keep it in my head 'til I know I
Until I know that I can leave your doorstep
Until I know the conversations cold
