  • Summary: The major-label debut from the British-influenced rockers from Los Angeles.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 11 out of 16
  2. Negative: 1 out of 16
  1. These songs don't require repeated listening to foster appreciation; they affect immediately -- and relentlessly.
  2. 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. They're merely using Psychocandy as a workaday aesthetic strategy and, despite loads of melodrama, they never sound pretentious about it either.
  4. 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.

    it´s the album the gallagher brothers are dreaming to make since a long time. this music is dirty, full of angst and rock in its pure clothes. sure as the sun has a bass loop that worths the entire cd. perfect to walk in an unknown city. Expand

    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
