Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Talk The Talk On The New Album, Reveal Track List


By: Spacelab Research Staff
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have released the track list for the as of yet untitled album, to be released in March on RCA. The word on the new album is that it will combine the guitar-driven sounds of Take Them On Your Own with the country-twinged Howl.

"We're doing the final mixes and putting the icing on the cake. It's the first album where we went into the studio knowing exactly what we wanted and we've been able to record when we feel it, instead of when we're supposed to feel it, which is a nice luxury," said Rob Turner when speaking to NME.

The band has been busy opening for the Rolling Stones and planning a set of shows for 2007.

After the departure of drummer Nick Jago, the band set out to record Howl. Although Nick ended up rejoining the band before the end of those sessions, the two songs that he was fully involved in stayed off of Howl, and will be part of the new album.

Peter Hayes told Billboard "When he came in for the last record, there were two songs we did with him that we left off. We knew they'd be for this one. We used those two songs as a starting point for what this album was going to sound like, and we stuck to it, for the most part."

I think they are overrated. I picked up their first two records and was very under welled.

I'd suggest buying Howl first, it's got a strong country influence.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has christened its fourth album "Baby 81" and will unveil it May 1 via RCA. The 13-track set ushers drummer Nick Jago back into the fold after he sat out the majority of the band's 2005 album "Howl."

"Things open up and break down within the songs, a lot," guitarist Peter Hayes told Billboard.com in October. "There are some songs that are kind of groove-oriented, not so blues- or country influenced [as 'Howl']."

"When he came in for the last record, there were two songs we did with him that we left off," he added of Jago's return to the band. "We knew they'd be for this one. We used those two songs as a starting point for what this album was going to sound like, and we stuck to it, for the most part."

"Baby 81" features BRMC's most epic track to date, "American X," which runs more than 9 minutes. Hayes previously enthused about the songs "All You Do Is Talk" (which utilizes 12 different guitar parts), "Am I Only" and "666 Conducer" (which he described as the most even blend between "Howl" and 2003's "Take Them On, On Your Own").

According to a spokesperson, BRMC will begin a tour in support of "Baby 81" directly after the album's release.

Here is the track list for "Baby 81":

"Took Out a Loan"
"Berlin"
"Weapon of Choice"
"Window"
"Cold Mind"
"It's Not What You Wanted"
"666 Conducer"
"All You Do Is Talk"
"Lien on Your Dreams"
"Need Some Air"
"Killing the Light"
"American X"
"Am I Only"
