  1. Drowned In Sound
    80
    If there were ever a reason for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's existence, this would be it, and despite the false dawns of albums past, Beat The Devil's Tattoo can hold its head high as their most compulsive body of work to date.
  2. BBC Music
    80
    It's an album that largely triumphs with a black snake moan and the revitalised, tempestuous twin snarl of Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been.
  3. Under The Radar
    60
    "Howl" prepared BRMC fans for the deeper blues foray Beat has fullly entered. [Winter 2010, p.62]
