  • Summary: The London-by-way-of-Los-Angeles-by-way-of-San Francisco rockers known as JAMC--er, make that BRMC--return with their second LP, which actually finds the group distancing themselves (at least a little) from the Jesus and Mary Chain-influenced sound of their debut.

    The band's equally impressive second album grooves with both a Detroit hipster sound and some spacey atmosphere.

    'Take Them On, On Your Own' is a masterpiece. You should get hold of it as soon as possible.

    BRMC continue on a predictable arc, borrowing heavily from Psychocandy-era Jesus & Mary Chain melodies, coked-up Rolling Stones licks, and My Bloody Valentine's production values. [#23, p.88]

    A breath of fresh air, a Christian band that have stood up publicly and opposed George Bush. Anyway back to music, with its superbly dark instrumentals and challenging lyrics the album marks a deeply inspirational journey into The bands minds and thoughts in a way that impacts the listener. A true rarity in today's music.… Expand

    I've never heard their first cd but after hearing "Take Them On..." I've got to go buy the first. They have got a dark sound that I love.
