  1. Wall of Sound
    86
    These songs don't require repeated listening to foster appreciation; they affect immediately -- and relentlessly.
  2. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    All of these incredible songs shimmer and vibrate with the riotous majesty of 'Psychocandy' without a trace of the Mary Chain's post-'Honey's Dead' self-parody.
  3. Neumu.net
    60
    They're merely using Psychocandy as a workaday aesthetic strategy and, despite loads of melodrama, they never sound pretentious about it either.
  4. Dot Music
    20
    Either they've been taking too much heroin or not enough, but 'Black Rebel Motorcycle Club' is as limp as a soggy spliff the ragged morning after.

    This disc is enjoyable listening but it is not as good as seeing them live. I have seen them a few times and they put on an amazing show. If they are coming to your town definetly check them out.… Expand
