Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - American X Baby 81 Sessions 2nd Listen

There's no doubting that the self-titled BRMC and Take Them On Your Own albums were both kick ass. I lost a little faith on Howl, however my appreciation grew for it over time. And Baby 81 rocks. And add this EP to it and you just augment rockdom, although I'm glad they didn't try to fit these tracks into Baby. You have to take the slow songs with some salt, as that seems to be one of their trademark sounds along with their depressed moods. My first listen was just in passing and I just remember it was good overall. Here are the results of my second listen:

>The Likes Of You - I could've done without it on this listen. I didn't get into it. The beat just keeps going...
>Vision - good track. a little too slow in my opinion, but good none-the-less.
>Show's About To Begin - great groove. I dig it.
>MK Ultra - awsome! "we are the ones that get you high."
>Whenever You're Ready - such a suave song. "come and get me, darling"
>20 Hours - BRMC Does the Cure. It's OK.
>Last Chance For Love - That's a different sound...

Now I have to go listen to Baby 81 again... peace
