Description:

San Francisco's Black Rebel Motorcycle Club weren't exactly shy about their taste for early ‘90s UK rock (Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Stone Roses), influences that freely permeated their debut and Take Them On, On Your Own. But Howl argues that B.R.M.C. understands how such devotion can often be a creative straightjacket, stripping their songs bare via almost exclusively acoustic arrangements that variously evoke gospel-tinged Appalachia and gritty country-blues ("Devil's Waitin', "Ain't No Easy Way," "Restless Sinner"), gentle, mouth-harp seasoned folk ("Fault Line") and vocalist Peter Hayes invoking various ghosts of Dylan past on "Still Suspicion Holds You Tight," "Promise," and "Complicated Situation." Indeed, in everything from its music and Allen Ginsburg-inspired title to the LP-deriv! ed running order and artwork, it's an album whose retro-'60s counter-culture vibe may be no less original than their previous musical obsessions, but one whose strong, mature songs and dedicated performances can't be denied. --Jerry McCulley

5Love the music, found it for the same price +1 song  Sep 20, 2009
I love this CD. I usually come to Amazon to download my music, as it's cheeper than iTunes. However, with this CD/MP3 Download, i noticed iTunes has it for the same price with an extra song. In addition, the "Album Only" song here on Amazon is standard on iTunes and you can purchase it individually. As the DRM is present on both, iTunes I think provides the better deal here.

5Simply Genius - Howl is Poignantly Desperate  Jul 09, 2009
You know that experience you have when you put on a new album and instantly you GET IT. I mean... really, deep-down just get it... like it connects to somewhere deep inside of you? That is the experience I had with this album. I mean, YES, I was also scratching my head and going "THIS is BRMC?!" The sound is SUCH a departure from their other albums. You are simply forced to listen to this album on its own. It cannot be held up and judged next to their other albums (also great, btw) because it's almost like their split personality - a band that belongs in Mississippi in 1935 in a chain gang somewhere. How such an uber-white band of Jesus & Mary Types can wring out such soulful pain is beyond me. But GET this album.
All the songs are incredible but the soul-wrenching songs are: Restless Sinner, Fault Line, Open Invitation, Devil's Waitin', Gospel Song, Sympathetic Noose and The Line (wait, that's almost the whole thing!) See what I mean?
Seriously! Get this album NOW!

5One of my favorites  Nov 12, 2008
I like all of their albums, but I love this one. One of my favorite albums from beginning to end by anyone. The music is very layered and full with great instrumentation from mostly acoustic guitars and piano and harmonica. Very soulful and smart from first note to the last.

4Time won't save my soul  Nov 03, 2008
You know how when you are flipping through the radio stations and hear a song from back in the day and ask yourself, "why don't they make music like this anymore?" Well, BRMC has answered that question with HOWL.

They are an incredibly well-rounded band and true musicians whose sincerity and emotions are evident in every strum of the guitar. I am not a religious man but songs like "devil's waiting" trigger all kinds of emotions deep inside.

For those of you tired of all the emo crap on the radio BRMC is a breath of fresh air and a reminder of what rock and roll is and could be. Cheers!
