joycewNov 20, 2003I'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.

RydiaSep 5, 2003Say what you want, but you can never be neutral about this disc. If you're going to judge it based on the silly expectations of hearing the Jesus and Mary Chain over again, don't bother. The songs are all solid, exciting, and enough to keep them wedged in your brain all day and they have an amazing amount of quotibility.

JustinA.Sep 17, 2003Not quite as good as their first one. Nothing to equal Love Burns, Punk Song, or Spread your love. But a lot of good stuff nevertheless when they avoid sounding too much like the last album.

KarlMarxMay 30, 2005A 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.

ShireenHMay 22, 2004It's refereshing to hear some good come from the USA. There is still hope for the greed driven country. Looking forward to hear more and more music from BRMC.

Under The RadarWhere B.R.M.C. merely boiled, Take Them On is positively frothing. [#5, p.100]
-
This is still an excellent band composed of three excellent musicians who can produce one hell of a noise.

OutburnBRMC 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]
